[Discuss] Eventbrite waitlist

We were wondering whether anyone else is noticing a weird (to us) behavior using Eventbrite with waitlists. Say we have a workshop set up and we create 30 tickets. Those sell out and we then get a waitlist. Feeling ambitious, we create an additional 15 tickets. Alternatively, one of the people

[Discuss] Inflammation data set

Sorry if this has been asked somewhere, but my google skills couldn’t find it... is the Inflammation dataset that is used in the lessons a real dataset or was it generated with semi random data? If it’s real do we know its provenance? Thanks Pat ___

[Discuss] Know of anything like "Nature, In Code"

Hi everyone, I was wondering whether anyone knows of other books/MOOCs/resources that are similar to “Nature, In Code”. I’m looking for something that teaches biology via programming or perhaps teaches programming via biology - to me this is pretty different than a typical programming or even

Re: [Discuss] top down vs. bottom up teaching python?

I’ve done both with teaching R. I don’t have any data, but I far prefer the top-down approach. My version of top-down is to give them code that works to make a standard plot. That lets them make something tangible in the first 5 minutes. I then have them look at the code and ask how they would

I tell people that my only CS course was taught in Pascal (this gets a few laughs) and that I don’t remember any of it. I add that learning Pascal set me up to learn pretty much any language I needed much easier than the first time through Pascal. Finally, I point out that they may learn

Re: [Discuss] RajLab: From reproducibility to over-reproducibility

As I’m in the midst of teaching git, this has been a really important conversation for me since many of my learners are wondering about how to put word/excel/etc under version control and why something like dropbox wouldn’t work. While they think git is interesting, they also appear somewhat
