Uncertain and unpredictable situations induce a stress response in people. The good news is that there are mechanisms to manage that stress and adapt to the impact of these unpredictable times because you still need to progress your research, secure future funding, and make decisions on your research and career direction. In this hour discussion we will explore mechanisms to manage our natural stress response to uncertainty; how to implement those mechanisms and better adapt. We will discuss two key resilience frameworks that will provide you with approaches to make incremental changes to attitude and action to help be more resilient to the unpredictable nature of our times. Caroline Broad has been a skills trainer for career researchers for over ten years. She delivers 'Resilience for researchers' workshops, runs a local Happy cafe and is accredited as a Resilience Leadership Consultant. |

We aim to simulate the classroom experience as closely as possible, with opportunities for one-to-one discussion with tutors and a focus on interactivity throughout. This School aims to familiarise biomedical students and researchers with principles of Data Science. Focusing on utilising machine learning algorithms to handle biomedical data, it will cover: effects of experimental design, data readiness, pipeline implementations, machine learning in Python, and related statistics, as well as Gaussian Process models. Providing practical experience in the implementation of machine learning methods relevant to biomedical applications, including Gaussian processes, we will illustrate best practices that should be adopted in order to enable reproducibility in any data science application.
