Center for Reproducible Science, University of Zurich
Rachel Heyard holds a PhD in Biostatistics and is currently a postdoctoral fellow in meta-research at the Center for Reproducible Science, University of Zurich (UZH). After finalising her PhD at UZH in 2019, she left academia to join the data team of the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) as a statistician. While working on diverse data and statistics projects informing science policy, she discovered her passion for meta-research - the interdisciplinary study of research itself. After a bit more than three years at the SNSF, she decided to go back to academia and started a postdoc in meta-research at the Center for Reproducible Science, where she teaches Good Research Practices and continues doing meta-research. Her research interests include developing and testing new approaches for allocating research funding, statistical methods in research, and improving reproducibility and the uptake of Open Science. In the EU consortium iRISE (improving Reproducibility In SciencE) she co-lead the theory work package. She is further the vice-president of the Swiss Statistical Society, part of the steering committee of the CoARA (Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment) working group on Responsible Indicators and Metrics, and the organiser of the Zurich ReproducibiliTea Seminar Series.

Joint PSI/EFSPI Visualisation SIG 'Wonderful Wednesday' Webinars
Our monthly webinar explores examples of innovative data visualisations relevant to our day to day work. Each month a new dataset is provided from a clinical trial or other relevant example, and participants are invited to submit a graphic that communicates interesting and relevant characteristics of the data.
PSI Training Course: Effective Leadership – the keys to growing your leadership capabilities
This course will consist of three online half-day workshops. The first will be aimed at building trust, the backbone of leadership and a key to becoming effective. This is key to building a solid foundation.
The second will be on improving communication as a technical leader. This workshop will focus on communication strategies for different stakeholders and will involve tips on effective communication and how to develop the skills of active listening, coaching and what improv can teach us about good communication.
The final workshop will bring these two components together to help leaders become more influential. This will also focus on how to use Steven Covey’s 7-Habits, in particular Habits 4, 5 and 6, which are called the habits of communication.
The workshops will be interactive, allowing you to practice the concepts discussed. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion. There will also be reflective time where you can think about what you are learning and how you might experiment with it.
Our monthly webinar series allows attendees to gain practical knowledge and skills in open-source coding and tools, with a focus on applications in the pharmaceutical industry. This month’s session, “Graphics Basics,” will introduce the fundamentals of producing graphics using the ggplot2 package.
This networking event is aimed at statisticians that are new to the pharmaceutical industry who wish to meet colleagues from different companies and backgrounds.
This webinar brings together three bitesize complementary sessions to help PSI contributors create conference presentations and posters that communicate clearly and inclusively. Participants will explore how to refine their message, prepare materials effectively, and adopt practical habits that support confident, accessible delivery. A focused, supportive session designed to elevate every contribution.
