First in-person training at the HAB
PhD students from several research groups attended the first training session at the HAB after completing the online “Basic R” course. During this immersive 5-hour workshop, Dr. Vigilante took students through a hands-on tutorial on data manipulation and visualization, using a range of example datasets. Building on the foundational skills they gained online, students had the chance to dive into more advanced analyses, including correlation studies and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). This session was an incredible opportunity for students to solidify their R programming skills, ask questions and network.
