What is value of information in health research? How do they inform policy changes? How does Bayesian inference help with designing innovative clinical trials? Anna Heath will answer all these questions for you. Dr. Heath is Canada Research Chair in Statistical Trial Design, a scientist in the Child Health and Evaluative Sciences Program at Sickkids Research Institute, an assistant professor in the division of Biostatistics in University of Toronto, and an Honorary Research Associate in the Department of Statistical Science in University College London. Other than all these fancy titles, she is also the supervisor for my masters practicum project and opened the door to the whole new, amazing world of Bayesian statistics to me. So of course, I am so thrilled to be hosting Dr. Heath on the show today! Also, I believe you would be as thrilled as I was when learning that, Dr. Heath is a very keen ballroom dancer that participates in international contests, a violin musician and a cricket lover!
