@penelopeysm @simonsteiger
Here is a draft of the talk materials, obviously it needs to be worked a bit more and turned into a talk. But could you two give it a look and let me know your thoughts on the content.

It would probably be suffice to read https://github.com/TuringLang/Turing-Workshop/blob/sunxd/KI_method_week/2025-Karolinska-Institutet/talk.md.

I think all the code runs if you run the code blocks in a sequential manner.

I think this is an excellent showcase of Turing for a really common application in epidemiological modeling!

I have forwarded it to a biostatistician working extensively with (frequentist) survival models. If I get feedback from her, I'll of course let you know here.

I hope to have more time towards the end of the week to comment in more detail on your current draft.

@alping Maybe you have some comments?

[penelopeysm]

I didn't run the code, but I've given it a couple read throughs now and I think the content is great. And quite different from what I was going to talk about (I'm just doing my research now......)
Out of curiosity: what software are you using to present given that everything is in Markdown right now?

[sunxd3]

I am still thinking about it, likely will be Marp. (Slidev and quarto are alternatives, but Marp works well enough for me right now.)

@sunxd3 Someone on Julia Discourse raised the point whether the recording of your talk could be eligible for Julia Online.

I guess we can think about this after the talk, too. 🤔

(I was assuming that you're interested in recording the talk to keep it for posterity and as a resource for Turing, but let me know if otherwise! We have not recorded all the online talks in our seminar series, and this is not a requirement by any means.)

[sunxd3]

I'm fine with recording, it might be helpful for some people.

[simonsteiger]

@sunxd3 Thanks again for your great talk! :) As I just wrote on Penny's "talk issue", there definitely seems to be interest in the recording from the Julia Discourse community.

Should we upload it on Turing.jl's YouTube channel or submit it to the Julia Online thing that someone linked there? Regardless of which option we choose, they would be preferable to uploading it via Karolinska Institutet. The latter would require us to conform with a lot of the regulations they have around publishing this kind of material.

[sunxd3]

Thanks Simon, Turing.jl right now doesn't have a youtube channel. Julia youtube channel has a wider reach and I think that might be a better idea. But I don't know who manages the channel. Maybe this is asking for too much from you, but might you have some bandwidth to try reaching out to the Julia people?

[simonsteiger]

I could try to reach out to the people of the Julia YouTube channel, yes.

What are your thoughts about submitting a proposal to the Julia Online format? This seems to be one way to get a video posted on Julia's official YouTube:

As an alternative, we are starting a new trial program called Julia Online for community members to propose videos for upload to the Julia YouTube Channel. If your proposal is accepted, you’ll be asked to prepare your proposal into a full video for upload! This call for proposals will be evergreen and will stay open for as long as we run this program, so you are welcome to propose a video at any time.

Our YouTube channel is a fantastic forum for you to advertise your packages / work, present tutorials that drive users to the Julia ecosystem, or to present unique perspectives on your favorite problem in computer science, software development, or scientific computing! We have well over 100k views per month, and a hundreds of thousands of impressions on each video we upload.

It links a short Google Forms that would have to be filled:
