Syllabus development

Course: Data science research in biology Course learning outcomes: Experience the process of scientific discovery, including the iterative nature of biological research. This includes: discover and formulate their own scientific questions with clear, testable hypotheses. draw conclusions from analysis of novel data apply background knowledge to develop and interpret their research Engage in highly collaborative research teams to carry out a scientific research project Learn common scientific practices employed by biologists, including common tools, instruments, and software Communicate their research and discoveries at both technical and non-technical levels These are the CLOs for BIO 197: Culminating Experience CLO 1.

Reproducibility

Review of reproducibility concepts and advancement in biological science. Homework for sortee github hackathon September meeting. «Last month we discussed each finding and briefly summarizing 2 articles/white papers/books/blog posts on GitHub. If you are able to locate articles and summarize them, please add them to the list that starts on page 2 of this google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xQ8Ol5_a4di64zip228UtJHzneSSCyEvmQ1mP2JG47E/edit#" Documentation is a key aspect for replication and reproducibility:
