标题： Biologists meet statisticians: A workshop for young scientists to foster interdisciplinary team work

摘要： 生命科学与统计学已成为不可或缺的合作伙伴。 规划复杂的、结构化的实验，涉及精心设计的研究方案，以及在系统生物学和高通量技术时代分析数据集的需求，必须建立在专业统计学知识的基础上。 另一方面，进行这些分析以及开发改进或新的方法，也适用于新型数据，必须建立在扎实的生物学理解和实践经验之上。 然而，两个领域的科学家之间的会面常常受到各种沟通障碍的阻碍——这些障碍基于特定领域的专业语言和文化差异。 为了促进更好的相互理解，我们开发了一个工作坊概念，将年轻的实验生物学家和统计学家聚集在一起，以小组形式合作，并学习彼此的价值观，以及在轻松的氛围中实践跨学科沟通。 我们的概念的第一个实施是由德国国际生物计量学会区域和德国布伦瑞克的莱布尼茨微生物及细胞培养物保藏中心（简称DSMZ）合作完成的。 我们通过三种问卷调查、口头评论收集反馈，并总结经验以改进这一概念。 这两个学科的长期挑战是建立系统的计划和战略伙伴关系，利用所提出的研讨会概念来促进相互理解，播种必要的跨学科合作网络，并在教育的最早阶段开始培训必不可少的沟通技能。 显示英文摘要

摘要： Life science and statistics have necessarily become essential partners. The need to plan complex, structured experiments, involving elaborated designs, and the need to analyse datasets in the era of systems biology and high throughput technologies has to build upon professional statistical expertise. On the other hand, conducting such analyses and also developing improved or new methods, also for novel kinds of data, has to build upon solid biological understanding and practise. However, the meeting of scientists of both fields is often hampered by a variety of communicative hurdles - which are based on field-specific working languages and cultural differences. As a step towards a better mutual understanding, we developed a workshop concept bringing together young experimental biologists and statisticians, to work as pairs and learn to value each others competences and practise interdisciplinary communication in a casual atmosphere. The first implementation of our concept was a cooperation of the German Region of the International Biometrical Society and the Leibnitz Institute DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (short: DSMZ), Braunschweig, Germany. We collected feedback in form of three questionnaires, oral comments, and gathered experiences for the improvement of this concept. The long-term challenge for both disciplines is the establishment of systematic schedules and strategic partnerships which use the proposed workshop concept to foster mutual understanding, to seed the necessary interdisciplinary cooperation network, and to start training the indispensable communication skills at the earliest possible phase of education.
