Honing statistical skills

On the fourth day, Dr Dawit Yemane from the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries gave students an opportunity to hone their statistical skills with a pertinent workshop on the Statistical Program R. That evening Professor Graham Kerley, Director of the Centre for African Conservation Ecology at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University provided delegates with more insight into multi-disciplinary work.

The 2011 Indibano was a great success and was an excellent opportunity for a limited number of GSN members to interact with leading researchers in a wide diversity of scientific and social fields, and to gain experience in long-term environmental observation. On behalf of all the Indibano participants, the members of the GSN Committee would like to thank SAEON for sponsoring this workshop. We would also like to thank Beate Hölscher, Dr Amani Saidi and Eva Mudau, the SAEON supporting staff, for assisting with the logistics.
