Last week Vanessa Boudreau, PhD student at modelEAU, has started a 4 month training period at BIOMATH-Ghent University (Prof. Ingmar Nopens) to get acquainted with techniques for optimal experimental design and uncertainty analysis and propagation, in particular their implementation in R. In particular she will be able to benefit from the help by Joris Meys, main author of "R for Dummies", available at http://www.amazon.com/R-Dummies-Joris-Meys/dp/1119962846 .
