"Leading a RTC
workshop gave me the
opportunity to share a
lot of important ideas
on how we approach
statistics and analyses in
our research."

"Training people in machine learning gave me the
chance to lower the barriers of entry into what
has become an essential tool in many areas of
research. My reward is a smile on attendees' faces
after understanding something so alien to them
just an hour ago."

As the RTC strives to foster the next
generation of leaders and science
ambassadors with an exceptional
foundation in basic cognitive
neuroscience methods and research
best practices, the RTC re-committed
to offering a diverse curriculum of
methods-based workshops. Workshop
topics ranged from neuroimaging
methods to statistical analysis techniques
to programming skills. Trainee-led
workshops also provided an opportunity
for RRI trainees to hone their teaching
skills while sharing their world-class
expertise with other faculty, trainees, and
staff.
