ℹ️ Coding, data analysis, and modelling are becoming increasingly central to cognitive science, but many researchers still feel excluded/intimidated by these tools.
📌This panel will focus on WHY computational methods matter, and HOW to make them more accessible and inclusive for ALL.
To commemorate Women's Month, we want to invite you to our upcoming online panel:
