Always a fan of your assistance with the stats modelling.
Senior Lecturer, Health Science
The session was excellent – very relevant to our work as part of program evaluation and policy development. It [was] pitched at just the right level – complicated enough to maintain interest and to provide new knowledge, but simple enough so as not to be daunting (which is a fine line with anything stats-related!)

I had the good fortune to attend a seminar Paola presented last week for the ICCWA Knowledge Exchange on ‘How to read and understand research’, and was very impressed. So impressed that I asked later if there was any possibility of her presenting the same seminar for some of my staff and other Public Health Division staff.
