Make you a more productive scientist Science is only going to get more computational Robots can do PCR Robots can not do analysis and interpretation (yet)
Make you a more productive scientist 2. Makes you a better scientist There is a reproducibility crisis Open code + open data easily reproducible results
Make you a more productive scientist 2. Makes you a better scientist 3. Makes you marketable • A “hard” skill that clearly transfers to other fields outside academia • If you are in science and you interpret data, you are a data scientist
Acquire basic literacy in scientific computing Become familiar with data science concepts and software tools Identify projects that will let you build this skills and build a resume
in Scientific Training BEST Data Science club Why are we offering this course? Unmet need for training in our programs, as discussed at Emory Academic Learning Community on Data Science: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rLCljOhOUVTqH30Nn5Dzu4ugnSSmlt3_npnDjpjfluo/edit?usp =sharing Grad students that want more training face a pre-requisite pipeline: https://github.com/SarTaku/Emory-Data-Science-Classes

shell is the layer around the kernel of the operating system bash is the name for the shell on UNIX systems like Mac or Linux command prompt is the name for the shell on Windows
shell is the layer around the kernel of the operating system bash is the name for the shell on UNIX systems like Mac or Linux command prompt is the name for the shell on Windows both are “command line” i.e. not a “graphical user interface” (GUI)
makes it easier to automate makes it easier for you to use many scientific software libraries often the only way to interact with computers on a network / in the cloud / on a server that process big data
Its name is written as a path Slashes in the path tell you: the directory to the right of the slash “lives inside” the directory to the left of the slash
back to the directory I came from? bash & command prompt $cd .. to go to the parent directory e.g. C\Users\dnicho4\Documents>cd .. C\Users\dnicho4>

hosting service” free, accessible by anyone on the web git with extra features for control + collaboration • access control: repository owner, collaborators, etc. • forking – copy repo to your profile • pull requests, merge • issues -- bug tracking + feature requests • task management
hosts all major open source libraries • including for scientific computing + data science • your way to share your science – reproducibility • your on-line data science resume – marketable(ity) • social network for programmers
