New courses in Python and Data Analysis for Biologists and Neuroscientists

There are several new opportunities for students in the Biological Sciences with interests in programming languages and data science for application to biological research.

Dr. Seppe Kuehn adds on to these opportunities this Spring Quarter with a course (BIOS 26405 “From Data to Understanding: Computational Biology in Microbial Ecosystems”) that uses Microbial Ecosystems to continue our students’ explorations with data. Dr. Kuehn’s project based course is a great choice for students on the Computational Biology Interdisciplinary Track, or those who want to get more practice working with research data.

“In any discipline of biology, students need to know how to deal with data in a principled way.” Dr. Kuehn said of the course. “Even if students don’t plan to work with Microbial Ecosystems, the foundations of this course has applications to evolution, cell biology, and a number of other topics within the biological sciences.”

You can register for Dr. Kuehn’s course for the next Spring Quarter, check the course catalog to see if you meet the prerequisites.
