Let’s build a better future together!

As statisticians, data scientists, and programmers we work at the heart of the evidence. Let’s work together to ensure that every stakeholder in healthcare (from early researchers to physicians and patients) has the right evidence in the right format at the right time to make the right decisions.
I believe that we need to increase our influence as a community to achieve this future. I commit to increase our leadership skills, improve our effectiveness, and strengthen our community.
Please work with me to achieve this future!
