Human Genetics workshop

[pschloss]

Dates: 10/19-10/20 (fall break)
Location: Likely somewhere in MSII
Content: bash, git, and R
Instructors: TBD

Peter Gergics gergicsp@med.umich.edu has been after Meg and Pat to have a SWC workshop for genetics grad students.

I'm interested (will have taught one workshop previously)

[marschmi]

I am also available. This would be my first workshop.

[pschloss]

Let's have @marschmi and @michberr run with this one. I think it will be 15-20 people, so smaller than the goal, but probably a good place to get going.

[pschloss]

The first thing we need @marschmi and @michberr to do is to set up a workshop webpage and send the link to the central office. I would like to see all of our workshop pages become repositories within the UMSWC organizational GitHub account.

The workshop will be held in Med Sci II 2739 in the FSSC. The contact person is Peter Gergics gergicsp@med.umich.edu

Hi Pat,

The website for the DHG workshop is ready to go, but i just remembered that we want to host the workshop repo/website from this github rather our our personal githubs. I think you need to invite us to be administrators of the UMSWC github account before I can import the website to the account.

Thanks!

How do we recruit helpers for these workshops? Should we always try to source helpers from within the department where we are hosting (e.g. human genetics in this case), or are we hoping to generate a list of helpers that we could source from for the separate SWC workshops across campus? Mostly, I am wondering, what are general protocol should be for getting helpers for the workshops?

I think it would be good for us to accumulate a list of emails of people that have taken the workshop in the past to see whether they would like to be a TA. Pretty sure that Meg has the ADVANCE email list and Scott probably has the librarian one from last week.

Perhaps after each workshop that we host we can have people signup who are
interested in continuing their involvement with UMSWC

Would anyone in the UMSWC group be interested in being a helper for the upcoming workshop in Human Genetics?

If you're still in need of helpers, I could TA on Monday the 19th. Email me if I'm needed.
