Brown University Center for Advancing Health Policy through Research is pleased to announce that our April 3rd Seminar Series will be presented by Alyssa Bilinski.
Here is a description of this presentation:
Does your code work? How are you sure? Software engineers have thought a lot about answers to these questions. Researchers, not so much. In this talk, I’ll argue that better systems for reproducibility and transparency could both improve science and help researchers, and I’ll talk about what these could look like in health policy.
We hope to see you there!
