Hi everyone,
Hope you are all safe and healthy!
This week we will have another interesting online lab meeting. This Friday (April 10th) from 15:00 - 16:00 Anne Marthe van der Bles (University of Groningen, Psychology) will give a talk about communicating uncertainty (see her recent PNAS paper: https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2020/03/17/1913678117) on trust and follow-up studies on COVID-19.
The talk will be followed by a Q&A, and everybody is welcome to join via Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/839478901 at 3pm (CET). This is the same link we use every Friday.
