Data Carpentry<https://datacarpentry.org/> teaches fundamental computational skills necessary for research. During a hands-on workshop, you will learn how to organize and clean your data using open source tools. You will also learn how to reproducibly analyze and visualize your data using a programming language.

Thanks to KU Libraries and Jamene Brooks-Kieffer for offering this resource!

Best regards,

Carrie
