Brief Biographical Sketch:
I am a Harvard Data Science Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School. I received my Ph.D. in Biomedical Informatics from Stanford University and M.D. from National Taiwan University School of Medicine. I was a physician at National Taiwan University Hospital. After witnessing how advancements in medical research could translate into life-saving treatments, I decided to explore the frontier of medicine through continuous research. My current research interest includes biomarker discovery, machine learning on biomedical data, natural language processing, and translational bioinformatics.

There are tons of newspaper articles talking about the "recent advances in health sciences." Some suggest "beer helps to prevent cancer," others claim "beer increased risks of getting cancer." Which one should we believe?
How do doctors decide what to do when coming across contrary scientific evidence? And what doctors might not know about the surgery they perform or the drugs they prescribe?
We will do some hands-on experiments on drawing conclusions in the world of uncertainty, and take a quick survey of the current methodologies in medical sciences.
