Here are past discussion topics and workshops from BioData Club, sorted by the date they were given. Where possible, we have linked to recordings, presentations, and code.

{% assign sorted_events = site.events | sort: 'date' | reverse %} {% capture now_moment %}{{ "today" | date: '%s'}}{% endcapture %}

{% for event in sorted_events %} {% capture date %}{{ event.date | date: '%s'}}{% endcapture %} {% if date < now_moment and event.event_type == "workshop" %} {% include past_events.html %} {% endif %} {% endfor %}

Discussion Topics

This is a list of discussion topics and talks hosted by BioData Club that we think have been successful and may be of interest

This is a paper by Greg Wilson that outlines how to improve your scientific software.

• How to Be a Modern Scientist

We had a discussion about Jeff Leek's book How to be a Modern Scientist and what it means for students and postdocs today.

Alison Presmanes Hill gave a talk for our visualization hacky hour about how she slowly revised and improved a figure. Very funny and very informative.
