Community of Coders and Researchers 

We are a group of students, faculty and staff spanning all levels of proficiency, organized around the common goal of sharing experience and expertise at computational, statistical, and general analysis approaches (we have fun too!).

Our regular meetings serve as drop-in support for anyone who is trying to reach that “next step,” including those just starting out: office hours for DSCI classes (and others) are merged into our meetings.

Leveling Up on Computing

Research in all areas, especially the biosciences, increasingly relies on data science. Modern researchers must expand their expertise beyond the bench, which requires learning how to use computers at a deeper level. This not only entails learning software, scripting and programming languages, but also practical aspects of dealing with large data, workflow and project organization challenges, and in general, just learning how to use your computer better in a world that is increasingly digital.
