 tics\, statistics\, machine learning\, and computer science. We bring toge
 ther scientists on Wednesdays in Acadia (Broad Institute – 75 Ames St.\,
  M1) and virtually. A primer with breakfast starts at 9:00 am\, followed b
 y a seminar and discussion at 10:00 am and 10:50 am\, respectively.\n\n \n
