Analytical Thinking
This PhD+ Data Literacy: Intro to Python series will introduce students to programming in the language. Python is a popular language widely used for data analysis and machine learning. The sessions will be taught in a "flipped classroom" manner: students will study learning materials prior
PhD+ Career Design skills training series in Fall 2020 will be offered every Thursday of October at 3.30 pm – 5 pm (5 weeks equal to 7.5 hours in-class time. Excludes preparation time).
No innovation exists in a vacuum. Instead, these new discoveries or inventions exist in the context of alternative ideas and solutions. And so, for our discussion today, we will gain some experience with a framework through which we might better investigate and understand the market context within which an innovation operates.
Today's session is just what it sounds like: A general introduction to each other and to the seminar series.

Part of Level 2.1 Independent research skills training of PhD Plus STEM Future Faculty
Learn about theories and process of strategic thinking to apply in research development and planning.
Today's discussion will center upon the challenge of defining and understanding not only (a) the underlying "problem" any idea/invention is trying to address, but also (b) the people who or entities that experience this problem—and why.

Learning outcome
Trainess will learn approaches and best practices of crafting compelling and cohesive research statements
The tools of science aren't just for, well, science. Thinking like a scientist—being hypothesis-driven—can also be the right frame of mind when developing novel products and new companies.
For the discussion, we will leverage the story of Savage Beast and its co-founder Tim Westergren to consider our own opinions about innovators and entrepreneurs.
