Life science and statistics have necessarily become essential partners. Theneed to plan complex, structured experiments, involving elaborated designs, andthe need to analyse datasets in the era of systems biology and high throughputtechnologies has to build upon professional statistical expertise. On the otherhand, conducting such analyses and also developing improved or new methods,also for novel kinds of data, has to build upon solid biological understandingand practise. However, the meeting of scientists of both fields is oftenhampered by a variety of communicative hurdles - which are based onfield-specific working languages and cultural differences.  As a step towards a better mutual understanding, we developed a workshopconcept bringing together young experimental biologists and statisticians, towork as pairs and learn to value each others competences and practiseinterdisciplinary communication in a casual atmosphere. The firstimplementation of our concept was a cooperation of the German Region of theInternational Biometrical Society and the Leibnitz Institute DSMZ-GermanCollection 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-termchallenge for both disciplines is the establishment of systematic schedules andstrategic partnerships which use the proposed workshop concept to foster mutualunderstanding, to seed the necessary interdisciplinary cooperation network, andto start training the indispensable communication skills at the earliestpossible phase of education.
