An appeal to undergraduate wildlife programs: send scientists to learn statistics

摘要: Undergraduate wildlife students taking introductory statistics too often are poorly prepared and insufficiently motivated to learn statistics. We have also-encountered many professionals, even with graduate degrees, who exhibit an aversion thinking statistically, either relying heavily on statisticians or avoiding altogether. believe part of the reason for these problems is that majors grounded in scientific method analytical before they take suggest a partial solution assure trained at very beginning their academic careers.
