On the UC ANR Learning & Development webpage, you can find recordings, presentations and exercises from our spring 2022 stats workshop series Applied Statistics for Farm Advisors, which provided a refresh and update on statistical skills for UCCE advisors and other UC ANR researchers. Topics include:

The theory and application of basic statistical tests, including ANOVA, GLMs, mixed models and regression
What to do when the normal assumptions for statistical tests have not been met
Newer methods like mixed models and bootstrapping that take advantage of modern computing power (which may not have been available if you took undergraduate statistics class 25 years ago)
What you need to know when designing experiments and planning data collection
How to use the extremely popular and powerful statistical programming language R
