Conferences:

  • Molly presenting at R\Pharma

  • Lyn submitting abstracts for PHUSE US Connect march Dallas, USA. 14-18th march 2027. One abstract will be a talk on Agentic AI using CAMIS as a skills agent and a second abstract will be submitted for a workshop/hackathon introducing people with how to contribute to the CAMIS repo.

NOTE: If you are able to attend PHUSE US connect (eg. Have funding from your company to attend) and would be willing to volunteer to help Lyn run the hackathon please contact lyn.taylor@parexel.com

Idea for ICE breaker - collect info on who has heard of CAMIS, frequency of visits to CAMIS repo, Are they a contributor. Would also be useful to get github stats on frequency of visits to assess our impact.

AOB

  • Case studies: Suggestion to create user stories of people who are using CAMIS & how it’s helped. Could be future blogs.
    If anyone would like to volunteer to write a short blog about how you’ve used CAMIS on a real study or project please get in touch with Molly.MacDiarmid@parexel.com

  • LinkedIn article on fishers exact test in R vs python. Python default was restrictive, R default was most common method.
