Hi again,

We’re happy to announce that there’ll be yet [another online talk](https://learnbayes.se/events/design-of-turing-jl/) on Turing.jl as part of Karolinska Institutet’s Learn Bayes Methods Week **this Thursday, May 15, 13:00-14:00 Stockholm time**!

@penelopeysm will talk about the design of Turing.jl and compare it to other probabilistic programming frameworks like [Stan](https://mc-stan.org) and [PyMC](https://www.pymc.io/welcome.html).

In her talk, Penelope plans to cover the following points:

- Modeling the classic ‘eight schools’ problem using Turing.jl, Stan, and PyMC

- What Turing.jl brings to the table in Bayesian modeling, with a particular focus on composability with the broader Julia ecosystem

- A discussion of some factors which might lead a user to gravitate towards one probabilistic programming framework

- Reflections as a software developer on the challenges that Turing.jl (and open source software in general) face

**Learn Bayes – Penelope Yong: The Design of Turing.jl**  
**Time:** May 15, 2025 13:00 Amsterdam, Berlin, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna  
**Zoom link:** [https://ki-se.zoom.us/j/64455317644?pwd=NjvxkmyjWuxlXjjZsiASwSA1Yjw0nD.1](https://ki-se.zoom.us/j/64455317644?pwd=NjvxkmyjWuxlXjjZsiASwSA1Yjw0nD.1)

I accidentally posted the wrong Zoom link, sorry about that. It’s updated now, and here it is again:
