On October 4th, 2024, the Digit 2024 event in Tartu brought together leaders in technology and academia to celebrate the best of the software domain. Among the standout speakers was ELIXIR Estonia’s own Uku Raudvere, who delivered an insightful presentation on “The Impact of Scientific Programmers in Academia”.
The BeYond-COVID (BY-COVID) project aimed to provide extensive open data on SARS-CoV-2 and other infectious diseases, emphasizing the mobilization of raw viral sequences to monitor the spread of variants. To ensure global collaboration, it enabled federated data analysis, managed metadata, and facilitated long-term cataloguing. Success stories can be read here, on page 16 is project lead by University of Tartu: Infectious Diseases Toolkit.

This course introduces the basics of Markdown, a lightweight markup language used to format plain text in documents. Markdown plays a crucial role in scientific research by enabling the efficient writing of reports, code documentation, and creating well-organised research notebooks. Students will learn essential Markdown syntax throughout the course, including formatting text, adding links, images, tables, math equations, and code blocks. By integrating Markdown with Jupyter Notebook, participants can build dynamic laboratory notebooks that streamline the documentation, analysis, and sharing of research findings.
