Schedule

This is a tentative schedule and is subject to change as necessary. To gain institutional access to weekly research papers, please ensure that you are logged into through the Dartmouth VPN.

Many class periods will include presentation and discussion of two seminal research papers on various Data Science for Health topics from the reading list below. Guidelines for the research paper presentations can be found on the here.

If you find that on a given week, you don't find any of the assigned papers interesting, you can grab a different paper from the "Extras" list at the bottom of this page. You are also invited and encouraged to recommend other good and transformative papers in literature that are fitting for the reading list.
