Pi Day: Carlos Bustamante: Models and Data in Biomedicine: What's Real and What's Noise? And, Why Should We Care?
Data Science Distinguished Seminar Series
If you think of a scatterplot of data overlaid with a model for the data and ask practitioners from different fields, “what’s noise and what’s real?” the answers may surprise you. To a biologist, the data will almost surely be “what’s real” and the model is a poor approximation to the “truth.” To a physicist, the model is probably “what’s real” and the data is just a noisy realization of an underlying true physical process that we are attempting to study. As we think about the biomedical data enterprise in the 21st century and the massive amounts of data w...

Peer Review: Achieving Generosity of Spirit in a Time of Scarcity
CSR Director's Seminar
The process of peer review is at the fulcrum of the hypercompetitive US funding climate. Scarcity has exaggerated the problems with review. To address these, we have to ask fundamental questions: What should be the criteria for funding? How can we choose the best reviewers? Who should provide leadership during the review process?
The criteria must be related to the goals. I (Dr. Kirschner) have written recently, “within the context of some responsible structure of scientific funding and publication every effort should be made to nourish the iconoclast, including the researcher who is straying...
