Hi Scott,
That's fantastic - I am sure the authors would be delighted to see their
materials in use more. I personally have not been involved in created
them - I am just sharing the great work of others :-) - but the work has
been in part supported by the UK's The Software Sustainability Institute
I work for.
Here is the link in Carpentries Incubator, for reference, where you can
also leave comments:

Best wishes,
Aleks

Aleks,
Fantastic. This is really good and very helpful to our work here.
Thank for and your team for creating them. I’ll go through the
curriculum over next couple of weeks and also see if some our students
here at the Institute want to join me. I’ll definitely be using them.
Great stuff.
Cheers,

Hi everyone,
Check out these cool training materials: " Data Science for
Ecologists and Environmental Scientists",
https://ourcodingclub.github.io/course, developed by the Software
Sustainability Institute's Fellows Isla Myers-Smith and Gergana
Daskalova and a bunch of others
(https://ourcodingclub.github.io/team.html). Their motivation was to
help scientists overcome "code fear" and "statistics anxiety" in
learners of all ages and from all walks of life and to teach best
practice open science. Materials are quite suitable for people from
other domains too!
The course includes three different streams, Stats from Scratch, Wiz
of Data Viz and Mastering Modelling, using content mostly in R, but
also with the opportunity to learn Python and JavaScript. There are
quizzes and practical challenges and people can get certificates for
their achievements.
Authors agreed to add these to the Carpentries Incubator
(https://github.com/carpentries-incubator/proposals/issues).
Cheers,
Aleks
