Coffee & Code Workshops and Registration Links

Coffee & Code logoThe Coffee & Code workshop series presents a variety introductory workshops on data science tools and technologies that are commonly used in current analysis processes and in generating research products (data, statistical output, data visualizations). Adoption of these tools contributes to significant increases in efficiency, productivity, and improved data management throughout the research and data lifecycle - from problem definition, through analysis and visualization, to sharing/publication and preservation of products. Please join us for any or all of these workshops and see how you can increase your research productivity and impact through the adoption of powerful analytic and data management tools.
