This in-person workshop targets graduate students, postdocs, staff, and faculty; undergraduate students can be admitted if space is available.

As computing skills are becoming increasingly important and essential for research scientists, the Software and Data Carpentry foundations (now: “The Carpentries”, http://carpentries.org/) have been playing major roles in developing professional development in practical and technical computing. Since 1998 volunteers have been teaching researchers in science, engineering, medicine, and related disciplines the essential computing skills they need to get more done in less time, and with less pain.

Learn the foundational skills necessary to be productive in a small research teams, including:

•       Automate repetitive tasks in the Unix shell/command line.
•       Program in Python to tailor analyses and make them reproducible and reusable.
•       Collaborate using git/GitHub.

The workshop aims at novices in the skills listed above. Workshop participation is free.

Apply A.S.A.P. as our workshops tend to fill fast!
