Proposed future events/session ideas:
Some proposed sessions we are seeking volunteers for:
- ggplot show-and-tell: demonstrate and describe your plots and ggplot tricks.
- Jupyter code notebooks & IPython workshop.
- Invited faculty/guest speakers (seeking UoM faculty / recommendations for external invitation, expenses covered)
- Training/discussion session: “Dealing with exceptions to the rule” - avoiding assumptions when programming, and defensive strategies for bioinformatics applications.
