\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In her talk, Siobhan Roberts will reflect on her pandemic reporting and the importance of uncertainty in science. She will discuss epistemic uncertainty<\/a>, a lack of knowledge about facts and numbers pertaining to the past and present, versus aleatory uncertainty, unknowns about the future due to randomness and chance. She will also explore the impact of Bayesian analysis<\/a> on our own thinking, putting up the question: Should we think like a Bayesian?<\/p>\n
