I really enjoyed speaking about how we try to support the development of early career biostatisticians as they embark on their careers at #ICOTS12 in Brisbane. I've learned so much at this conference from the varied interesting talks! @mischhub.bsky.social
Fantastic to catch up with our phenomenal Brisbane leadership keynote speakers in Brisbane this week. Thanks again Tonya Esterhuizen and @emitanaka.org and to @nicolewhite.bsky.social for finding us great food!
The inspirational Anurika De Silva from Methods & Implementation Support for Clinical & Health research Hub ending her #ICOTS12 presentation with a call to action for statisticians to reflect, connect, experiment and collaborate in teaching statistics. @mischhub.bsky.social #statistics #datascience
Fantastic talk from @emitanaka.org on working with LLMs in #datascience at #ICOTS12. Highlights thinking of interacting with AI as a junior analyst with the statistician/data scientist in a manager/supervisor role to review/quality control output. Always enjoy hearing Emi talk! #statistics #teaching
Always a pleasure to see @lindamciver.adsei.org from @datasciau.bsky.social present. Excellent talk on engaging teachers and students in data science in school at #ICOTS12 in Brisbane. #teaching #statistics #datascience
