Introduction to Python for Biologists: places available now at the end of April, hosted by the Earlham Institute: #further-information" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">earlham.ac.uk/events/introdu… “I loved this course. It started from very basic concepts ... I feel like I can apply knowledge gained during the course to my own data.”

Still a few places available on my data exploration with Python course: earlham.ac.uk/events/data-ex… a deep dive into processing/visualizing complex biological datasets with the seaborn/pandas/matplotlib stack

It's not for a while yet, but I'm greatly looking forward to being back at @edgenome for an advanced Python course in December - signups open now genomics.ed.ac.uk/services/advan…

A reminder of our 'Introduction to #Python for #Biologists' course next month, 18-22 July (in-person). A great opportunity to learn python from our expert coders with first-class course content developed by @pythonforbiolog - More info: genomics.ed.ac.uk/services/intro… @GenomicsEdi

📢CHANGE IN DEADLINE! ⌛️Apply by 11 April 2022: bit.ly/3fwTZYZ 👨‍💻 Biological Data Exploration using Python 🗓️ 25 April-6 May 🖥️ For researchers interested in using Python for analysis & visualization of biological datasets. Some experience of Python required.

TRAINING: Registration is open for our 2022 Advanced #Python course with @pythonforbiolog. This advanced #workshop is ideal for researchers and technicians with a a basic knowledge of Python, wanting to develop bigger or more complicated programs ➡ okt.to/TvSoWs

TRAINING: Registration is open for a new training workshop with @pythonforbiolog, looking at #data exploration and #visualisation from #python. We will look at exploring large datasets, finding meaningful patterns, and how to clearly present results. ➡ okt.to/wYPMiR

@drjtwit Fantastic, never knew about that!

Python's random.choice() works fine when you want equal probabilities; for unequal ones use numpy

👨‍💻 Advanced Python for Biologists 🗓️ Mon 21 Feb-Fri 4 Mar 🖥️ For researchers in the health sciences who use Python and want to write complex programs, deal with larger datasets, or contribute to existing software projects. ➡️ Apply by Monday 14 February: bit.ly/3GNjSzq

TRAINING: Join our online Advanced #Python for #Biologists course to increase skills and knowledge about the language for bigger or more complicated programs. #ProgrammingLanguage ➡ okt.to/wTjy6G 📅 Course Date: 04 - 15 July 2022 @pythonforbiolog #sciencetraining

Still spaces available on an upcoming remote Intro Python course hosted by Edinburgh Genomics: buff.ly/3sTKyqD Excellent teaching from my colleagues at Edinburgh - please pass on details to anyone who you think might be interested.

Places are available on upcoming live courses hosted by Earlham Institute! Intro Python buff.ly/3tKpmor and Advanced Python buff.ly/3gxMDWB places available, taught remotely. See links for dates/times.

There are definitely enough of these "neural network in X lines of code" videos that they count as a genre, but this is a pretty nice example: buff.ly/3d8ZlI7 Out of curiosity, would anyone be interested in a few introductory articles on machine learning in biology?

Distribution of a finished Python program is one of the parts of the ecosystem that's still a bit of a barrier for beginners. Here's a project that aims to make it easier: buff.ly/3w0BDX4 might be worth a look next time you need to share a tool with dependencies.

If you don't want to leave the command line even for a minute, this might be a useful addition: buff.ly/39vZOU9 colorpedia lets you look up colours and palettes.
