Training Course 1: Designing Multiple-Driver Experiments BECoMe-2025 and SCOR’s Changing Ocean Biological Systems infrastructure group are hosting a free training course for researchers interested in learning how to design and carry out multiple-driver (i.e., multiple stressor) experiments that measure responses in microbes, plants, or animals. This training course will guide participants in using the MEDDLE resources to: • Define a relevant research question • Identify key drivers, biological traits, and responses • Select an appropriate experimental design • Develop a statistical analysis plan Training Course Details Time &Date: 9:30 am - 4:30 pm, 18 August 2025 (Monday) Location: City University of Hong Kong Participant Limit: 24 researchers (first-come, first-served) Eligibility: Participants should have experience in designing and conducting single-driver experiments that study biotic responses (e.g. marine warming, ocean acidification). Conveners: Christina McGraw, Sam Dupont, Sinéad Collins, Mridul K. Thomas, Peter Dillingham

Training Course 2: Data Analysis for Multiple-Driver Experiments Researchers work hard to conduct interesting and challenging multi-driver experiments, but are often unaware of how best to analyse their data to take maximum advantage of these experiments. In this training course, participants will: • Learn some of the common statistical challenges that appear in multi-driver experiments and how to solve them • Work through an example R vignette for a multi-driver experiment • Simulate an example dataset based on a proposed experiment • Perform an appropriate analysis and visualise and interpret its output using “literate programming” via R markdown Training Course Details Time &Date: 9:30 am - 1:00 pm, 22 August 2025 (Friday) Location: City University of Hong Kong Participant Limit: 12 researchers (first-come, first-served) Eligibility: Attendance at Training Course 1 (Designing Multiple-Driver Experiments) is required, as Training Course 2 builds directly on the concepts developed in the first training course. Participants should have experience with R and good knowledge of regression. Strong Python skills may also be considered, but Training Course 2 will be conducted using R. Conveners: Peter Dillingham, Mridul K. Thomas, Sinéad Collins, Christina McGraw

We will be teaching two free training courses at the BECoME-2025 conference in Hong Kong next month🌊

Course 1: Designing Multiple-Driver Experiments
Course 2: Data Analysis for Multiple-Driver Experiments
