On 29-31 October, we will be holding our next installment of the Stanford Workshops in Formal Demography and Biodemography, the result of an ongoing grant from NICHD to Shripad Tuljapurkar and myself. This time around, we will venture onto the bleeding edge of biodemography. Specific topics that we will cover include:
- The use of genomic information on population samples
- How demographers and biologists use longitudinal data
- The use of quantitative genetic approaches to study demographic questions
- How demographers and biologists model life histories
Information on the workshop, including information on how to apply for the workshop and a tentative schedule, can be found on the IRiSS website. We've got an incredible line-up of international scholars in demography, ecology, evolutionary biology, and genetics coming to give research presentations.
The workshop is intended for advanced graduate students (particularly students associated with NICHD-supported Population Centers), post-docs, and junior faculty who want to learn about the synergies between ecology, evolutionary biology, and demography. Get your applications in soon -- these things fill up fast!
Hello. Do you plan on making much of the workshop materials publically available, as for previous workshops in formal demography? As a graduate student in anthropology, I've found those materials useful for my own research---paleodemography and using R, in general. Thanks, and the blog is great!
Any chance materials from the workshop will be publically available online, as for previous workshops in formal demography? Please say yes.
Thanks.
