Open Source Open Science Workshop 2015

When:  August 21 – 23, 2015
Where:  Rudder Tower 401

OSOS 2015 is a free summer workshop featuring a very basic introduction to R and Python using Rosalind, a platform for learning bioinformatics and problem solving through programming. This two and a half day course will provide students with tools for reading in, manipulating and analyzing data in R. The course will provide a basic introduction to scientific programing and creating publication quality graphics. This course is aimed at incoming EEB graduate students; however, you need not be in EEB or a graduate student to attend. In addition, you may take 1 credit hour of EEBL 612 for this course.

Instructors:

R

Michelle Lawing
Nicole Angeli

Python

Chris Blazier

Learning Outcomes:

Students will leave this course with the ability to utilize the R and Python for their research and course work computing needs. They will also gain the knowledge of where to find critical R and Python resources for further in depth learning in R and Python.

Required:

A laptop is required for this workshop. If you do not have a laptop, please contact
Michelle and we will set you up with a loaner.
