Transmitting Science
@tscourses
Sharing the art of scientific learning! 🌍💡 Courses, coaching, and events to connect researchers in life & earth sciences. We want to empower collaboration, equity, & innovation. #TScourses #KeepLearning
Every researcher has that one habit... ...or twenty. 💬 Tell us you're a researcher without telling us you're a researcher. Which ones do you agree with, or which ones can you tell us about?... 👀 #WeAreTransmittingScience #Researchers #AcademicLife #PhDLife

If you’ve been thinking about applying, we’d really encourage you to go for it. This is not a complicated application process — just a chance to make high-quality training a little more reachable.
That’s exactly why our fee waiver call is designed to be simple, accessible, and open to postgraduate students and postdocs who could benefit from a little extra support.

We don't travel only for the talks — we also travel for the people we meet between them.
If this way of thinking about models resonates with you, take a look at our courses in this area at https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses
Choosing a model is not about finding the “most advanced” method. It is about making the assumptions visible, aligning the method with the biological or ecological process, and letting the data speak with the right amount of structure.
Statistical modelling is the bridge between your questions & your data's true structure. Regression, mixed models, & GAMM respect complexity, not compress it. How do you approach data challenges? #DataScience
Ever felt your model fits but misses the story? Residuals might reveal hidden structures like non-linearity or clustering. What patterns are you discovering? #DataInsights
Four ways to sharpen your science this July. 🌿 Live online courses in stats, GIS & morphometrics — taught from anywhere. 🔗 https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses #IamTransmittingScience #TScourses #KeepLearning #RStats #QGIS #Morphometrics
You just need a bit of curiosity, some data… and a place to start.
Why learn R now? 🌱 It grows with you – from simple summaries to complex models 🤝 It’s open-source and widely used in academia and industry 🔁 It makes your workflow transparent and reproducible 🌍 It connects you to a huge community of scientists who share code and ideas
In this course, you will: ✅ Learn R step by step, from zero ✅ Understand objects, scripts, and basic syntax ✅ Import, clean and explore your data ✅ Create clear plots you can trust and reproduce
