Laura Le Senior Lecturer, Biostatistics and Health Data Science University of Minnesota _______________________________________________________ Dear all, for Summer 2026, the Division of Biostatistics at the University of Minnesota will be hosting a 10-week Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU), called Equitable Data Science in Adolescent Development . This 10-week REU is a paid, full-time position designed to give undergraduate students hands-on training and research experience in data science, statistical modeling and machine learning, and scientific communication. Students will analyze data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, the largest longitudinal study on adolescent development in the United States. The titles for Summer 2025's projects are below, to give you an idea of the types of projects the students can work on for Summer 2026: - Aggregating Asian-Americans Masks Subgroup Variation in Adolescent Psychopathology - The Impact of Early Life Adversity on Cortical Thinning - Investigating the Role of Early Life Adversity on Risk for Substance Experimentation - Who Defines "Typical" Brain Development? Racial Bias in Normative Modeling Our website contains more details about the program. If you know any undergraduate students who may be interested, please share this website with them, and please encourage them to apply . The deadline for applications is *1 February 2026*. If you have any questions about this program, please let me know. Thanks!

We still have 15 spaces available for this *inaugural career and networking event* organized by the ACMS student council. Please use the google form to sign up! We now have a portfolio (!) of two speakers: Zeca Cardoso and his colleague from Verus Consulting, Tri Nguyen. Zeca is a UW FOSTER alum and Tri is an ECON alum from UW. It should be a fun discussion and both are excited to meet you all. Looking forward to more engagement. All the best.

Could be good for networking, and for building transferable real world skills Gesture is mock startup company within the College, where student interns take on professional tasks, often fail at them, and receive honest feedback about how they can improve. Over time, the students take on more challenging, self-directed tasks. The program is offered through the College?s Center for 21st Century Liberal Learning (C21) . https://artsci.washington.edu/news/2025-11/gesture-jump-start-careers?mkt_tok=MTMxLUFRTy0yMjUAAAGeGNhEl4bOv-KN9wz8D8Z4JWo_vInHMy3cG87OOXUgkuV40J5_x4d27jHekSloYj6hMkz_ZwMdKRT7_y2D-ibe5Bn9itgrAHMfjXNb28bnF9WDkdo https://c21.washington.edu/our-programs/gesture All the best.

I would interpret "statistical" broadly. If you have done anything interesting (computationally) in the areas of machine learning, neural nets, etc. read the linked descriptions below and see whether you can submit your work. Same applies if you have written any software for data programming or performing analysis (broadly interpreted). 1. *Student Paper Competition* (Statistical Computing & Graphics) $1000 https://community.amstat.org/jointscsg-section/awards/student-paper-competition 2. *John Chambers award Statistical Software award* $2,000 https://community.amstat.org/jointscsg-section/awards/john-m-chambers All the best.
