Presented By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Joint EEB and SNRE Software Carpentry workshop

Marian Schmidt, EEB grad student and Arthur Endsley, SNRE grad student

Joint SNRE and EEB workshop next week on reproducible data analysis & visualization of data in R

The workshop is open to anyone in EEB and SNRE (undergrads, master's and Ph.D. students, technicians, faculty, etc.)

Ph.D. students in EEB and SNRE are cohosting a FREE Software Carpentry workshop, designed to orient scientists with computer skills that can make them more productive!

The topics covered include:

Automating Tasks with the Unix Shell
Using Databases and SQL
Data Analysis and Visualization in R
Version Control with Git

For more information (see below) and to register for this workshop, please visit the website below and reserve a ticket.

Please see below for more information regarding background knowledge and info about Software Carpentry.

The workshop material is oriented around ecology and genomics data but you do not need to be familiar with these kind of data.

This workshop is targeted for SNRE PhD students and EEBers with:
1) Some basic experience in R*
2) Little to no prior experience with the Unix shell, SQL, version control, or Git.

While we do expect you have had some prior experience with R (see notes at bottom*), the workshop is otherwise designed for scientists at ALL levels of experience, including those with no prior experience in computing (other than basic familiarity with R).

There are 15 seats reserved for EEB participants (and 15 seats for SNRE PhD students). If and when the EEB reserved seats fill up, please add yourself to the waitlist if you are interested! If you register and are unable to attend, please cancel your registration. You should only sign up if you are able to attend the full two-day workshop.

The Software Carpentry Foundation is committed to training in and promoting the use of best practices in computer-aided analysis to improve the scientific enterprise. In particular, the University of Michigan Software Carpentry group is committed to promoting equity in scientific computing by proactively including underrepresented groups in our workshops.

*For the "Data Analysis and Visualization in R" module of the workshop, we expect that participants will be familiar with the following topics in R (which are covered in this online tutorial):

- Assigning variables in R
- Creating and calling functions in R
- Writing for loops in R
- Writing if() statements and using conditional operators (==, >=, etc.)
- Basic knowledge of vectors (with c() function)
