We invite you to apply to join us at our fourth annual meeting of the Biological and Environmental Data Education (BEDE) Network, held from June 23-25th at the University of California Santa Barbara in Santa Barbara, CA. We can provide travel support for some attendees, and we will also facilitate virtual attendance.
We are a group of scientists and educators who are dedicated to the advancement of data science education in undergraduate biology and environmental science curricula. Our mission is to provide training and resources for educators to empower them to teach data science skills in their classrooms. We want you to be part of our team!
The theme of this year’s meeting is Building Bridges to Advance Data Science Education. Guided by this theme, we will introduce the BEDE Network and build community; assess Data Science education needs across the life science instructional landscape; discuss the assessment of BEDE Network initiatives and efforts to fulfill our mission; collaborate on communication, instruction tools, and strategies; and plan for the sustainable future of the BEDE Network.
The final day of the meeting will provide an opportunity to choose your own path, either: (A) participate in an unconference where you can continue to work with a BEDE Network subcommittee, or (B) join an instructor training workshop on incorporating data science skills into undergraduate biology classrooms as a helper or as a learner.
The application process will likely be competitive, based on the number of applications received. We anticipate approximately 20-25 in-person attendees. All biology and environmental science faculty, university- and college-level instructors, and post-doctoral researchers are welcome to apply. We have a limited number of spots available for graduate students with a passion for teaching. Funding is available from the National Science Foundation to support in-person participants and there is a virtual participation option for those unable to attend in person. We can provide full financial support, including transportation, three nights accommodation, and meals to successful applicants for in-person attendance.
The deadline to apply is February 28, 2025 and successful applicants will be informed by March 7, 2025 . PLEASE APPLY HERE
In the meantime, join our group on QUBESHub

We look forward to welcoming you to the meeting!
