Details
Welcome to our first event! It's free!
R-Ladies Lyon is pleased to welcome Dr. Hilary Robbins, scientist at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC/WHO) in Lyon, France.
Her research develops and applies risk-based approaches to cancer screening, with a current focus on lung cancer screening.
Dr. Robbins will give a brief overview of her career thus far in cancer research, including how R fits into her profile as a researcher. She will discuss how she came to use R, an application from her current research (predicting risk of lung cancer during CT screening), some tips and tricks with her favorite tidyverse packages, and a few reflections about being an R lady in a male-dominated field.
