We are writing to remind you about a few events happening at Data Services this weekend!
If you have been meaning to sign up, now is your chance!
Our Bi-weekly Book Club kicked off today with our first conversation on The Lady Tasting Tea: How Statistics Revolutionized Science in the Twentieth Century. In this four-part series, we are discussing how statistics changed from a specialized niche into an indispensable tool across many disciplines. This book is not a dry history or facts and figures, but a deep dive into the stories of individuals who dared to look at the world in a new way.
Haven’t started reading yet? No problem! We would be delighted if you would join our discussion even if you haven’t read the book. Register to join us at 1:00 pm in person in the Knight Library DREAM Lab or online via zoom. We had a rich discussion today, and would love for you to join us for future sessions.
One Day Workshops for R and Python will be happening this Saturday, October 4, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. These workshops are a great opportunity to lay a foundation of skills in a single day so you can get spend the rest of the term using your new abilities! We also want to let you know that both workshops will have free childcare services in the building. Don’t let the little ones hold you back from attending – we’ve got you covered!
The Plotting and Programming in Python workshop will cover introductory topics such as variables, data types, data frames, and plotting. If time allows we will continue on to lists, for loops, conditionals, and writing basic functions. Introduction to R will cover data analysis and visualization using tidyverse methods. It includes an introduction to data structures, data frames, plotting and filtering.
If you have been looking for a chance to jump into Python or R, but aren’t able to join us for our weekly workshops, Reserve Your Spot Here to join us this Saturday in-person or online!
We hope to see you there!
