  • 1.  Disease Networks, Mixture Modelling, and Professional Opportunities at SDSS 2020 – New Episode on Pod of Asclepius

    Posted 04-06-2020 23:15

    Hi ASA Connect,

    In the newest episode, David Hunter (Penn State) highlights a variety of cool life science collaborations he has worked on, including the network models used to describe AIDS transmissions and mixture modelling to describe pediatric cognitive tests. We then talk about the upcoming SDSS 2020 conference, and its newest additions to benefit early career researchers. This episode will be followed up with by a second episode with Stephanie Hicks (Johns Hopkins) to discuss the healthcare and life science-related tracks at SDSS 2020.

    Why should data scientists and statisticians watch this episode?

    • Dave covers the insights that statistics brings to disease network modelling of HIV transmissions.
    • He also touches on the (separate) issue of scale-free networks…which is worth hearing if you aren't familiar with the subject.
    • The SDSS conference has undertaken some substantial changes to maximize the benefit to attendees. It good to hear how ASA conferences are adapting for our benefit!
    • SDSS 2020 have expanded its career services, so it's worth a listen for job seekers and recent graduates.
    • SDSS 2020 has added a review process (similar to comp sci conferences) to ensure attendees are getting the best speakers.
    • Dave has one of the best podcasting voices you'll ever hear.
