R for Reproducible Scientific Analysis, Jan 9-10, Tufts-Sackler Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences

[smcclatchy]

The goal of this workshop is to teach novice programmers to write modular code and best practices for using R for data analysis. R is commonly used in many scientific disciplines for statistical analysis. The emphasis of these materials is to give participants a strong foundation in the fundamentals of R, and to teach best practices for scientific computing: breaking down analyses into modular units, task automation, and encapsulation. Note that this workshop will focus on teaching the fundamentals of the programming language R, and will not teach statistical analysis.
