A Friendly Introduction to R!

🎉 Welcome! 🎉

This workshop is designed for R beginners. If you've never coded before - you are in the right place! If you have coded before, we may draft you to help out. Please feel free to create an issue to give us feedback or let us know what you want to learn next. This is loosely based on a basic R session we did at the 2016 PMCB retreat.

She has a PhD in neuroscience and she works with the Monarch Initiative bioinformatics team to derive biological stories from the data and then communicates those stories to the world through talks, articles, and sometimes fun tweets!

Danielle Robinson is a Mozilla Fellow for Science who works with scientists, librarians, and non profits like Code for Science to advance open data. She has a PhD in neuroscience and is working on a metadata manifesto.
