Activities – UMD Biostatistics

Every activity below pulls its number, week, title, and description straight from that file’s YAML frontmatter — nothing on this page is hand-typed. Ordering comes from the order: field, which the sync_order_from_folder_names.R pre-render hook fills in automatically from each folder’s WW_MM_ number prefix.
