I really enjoyed the workshop. Both the talks and the conversations were extremely stimulating. I hope there are similar workshops like this one in the future.

Attending BIRS introduced me to researchers in fields different from my own but with related research questions stemming from quite different motivations--it was refreshing to see the new perspectives.

I wanted to express my appreciation for the recent BIRS hybrid workshop and also special thanks to the organizers, Yanqin Fan, Marc Henry, and Silvana Pesenti. It was an incredibly enriching experience. I am particularly grateful for the talk given by Jose Blanchet, as it sparked a new idea for my research. His insights were invaluable, especially in the context of my focus on dealing with misspecification in incomplete models. Thank you again for organizing such a valuable and inspiring workshop.
