📊 Today wrapped up the advanced course "Missing Data in Observational Epidemiologic Studies - Including Non-Detects", led by Prof. Martin Röösli and Dr. Jan Hattendorf at Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute.

Over three intensive days (1–3 July 2025), participants tackled key challenges in handling missing data, including selection bias, non-detects, and censored values - all within the powerful R environment.

The course combined lectures with hands-on coding sessions, giving participants the chance to apply techniques directly to real-world datasets.
