What is it?
Data Carpentry develops and teaches workshops on the fundamental data skills needed to conduct research. Their mission is to provide researchers high-quality, domain-specific training covering the full lifecycle of data-driven research. This hands-on workshop will cover basic concepts and tools for Genomics research, including: cloud computing, BASH command line, environment management, data wrangling and processing, and more. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.
Instructors:
Monah Abou Alezz - Postdoctoral researcher at the San Raffaele hospital Milan, Italy
Preethy Nair - Doctoral Student at the University of Helsinki, Finland
Alain Wescott - PhD in Business Analytics & Data Science
