Announcing our Beta R Software Carpentry Workshop for the life sciences
We’re pleased to announce that we’ll be running a two-day Software Carpentry Workshop on December 8th & 9th.
We’ll be teaching the basic lab skills for scientific computing using the R statistical programming language, along with the unix shell for interacting with and pipelining scientific software, and Git/GitHub for tracking changes to your work and collaborating with other scientists.
The material will be novice level, so while it’s helpful if you’ve encountered R or another programming language before, we won’t expect you to have any level of detailed knowledge.
The workshop will be co-hosted by COMBINE, a national student group for postgraduate and early career researchers in the life sciences who do computational research.
The workshop is free, but space is limited, so make sure to register to secure a place!
Date and Time:
Monday December 8th, 9:00am – 5:00pm
Tuesday December 9th, 9:00am – 5:00pm
