Ask a Statistician/Data Scientist

We all know the after-parties were some of the best in-person RTA meetings—but did you know that was where some of the most enlightening discussions also happened? From Dan Kelly’s performance art sketch of gradient descent on a napkin, to Melinda Thielbar’s one-woman show on why she became a data scientist, to Eric Yount’s quiet pronouncements on the state of clinical trials programming, these mini-talks were information-packed and entertaining all at once. Now, we’re bringing them back in Zoom form.

Ian Cook, Rick Pack, Aaron Terry, Eric Yount, Melinda Thielbar, and Dan Kelly will be available for one hour and 30 minutes to answer your most pressing questions about data science, open source, the inner workings of RTA, and anything else that you care to ask. This is not a consulting session; answers do not come with guarantees. All we can promise is that this will be fun.
