The Center for Computational Science (CCS), the Miami Clinical and Translational Science Institute, and the Graduate School have teamed up to offer Software Carpentry Workshop in PYTHON and R, two-day workshops that provide the basic computing skills and best practices needed to be productive in a small research team. The format is a mixture of short seminars and hands-on practical exercises, and participants are encouraged to help one another and apply what they have learned to their own research problems during and between sessions. Bring your own laptop (any OS).

R WORKSHOP will be held on Monday, March 14 and Tuesday, March 15, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Shalala Student Center, Senate Room. To register, please visit http://ccs.miami.edu/save-the-dates-314-15-for-our-next-software-carpentry-r-workshop/.

PYTHON WORKSHOP will be held on Monday, March 28 and Tuesday, March 29, from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Newman Alumni Center, Executive Conference Room. To register, please visit http://ccs.miami.edu/save-the-dates-328-29-for-our-next-software-carpentry-python-workshop/.

Both workshops are capped at 30 participants and offered on a first-come first-served basis. Please do not register for both unless you need both Python and R for your research. If you are not sure which you need first, or for  more information, please visit the CCS Workshops webpage at http://ccs.miami.edu/training-and-outreach/workshops/.
