Laboratory documentation with Markdown - 30.10.2024

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.

Version Control with Git - 6.11.2024 - Registration OPEN

Git is used across the world to help developers keep track of changes while working on different parts of the same project. Teams are not the only ones to benefit from version control: lone researchers can benefit immensely. Keeping a record of what was changed, when, and why is extremely useful for all researchers if they ever need to come back to the project later on (e.g., a year later, when memory has faded).

Webinar: DOME

DOME is a set of community-wide guidelines, recommendations and checklists, spanning these four areas (Data, Optimization, Model and Evaluation in Machine Learning) aiming to help establish standards of supervised machine learning validation in biology. The work was initially published in 2021 with more details on the DOME-ML page. This activity is part of the Machine Learning Focus Group.
