• R for Research Scientists GitHub Repository

A book for researchers who contribute code to R projects: This booklet is the result of my work with the Social Cognition for Social Justice lab. It was developed in response to questions I was getting from students; both grad students that were making software design decisions, and undergraduates who were using things like version control for the first time. Although many tutorials and resources exist for these topics, there was not a single source that I thought covered just enough material to build up to the workflow used by the lab without extraneous detail.

• phenoACCESS-24: Workshop on Research Computing and Plant Phenotyping

phenoACCESS-24: Workshop on Research Computing and Plant Phenotyping High-throughput plant phenotyping is computationally intensive, requiring data storage, data processing and analysis, research computing expertise, and mechanisms for data sharing. This workshop is aimed at research computing workforce development by addressing questions such as what is plant phenotyping; what types of data are collected; what are the preprocessing and analytical needs; what tools and platforms exist for data capture, management, analysis, and storage; and how best to collaborate and engage with phenotyping researchers. The full-day agenda will include speakers (scientists and research compute staff); panel discussions (how to work with research computing staff and facilities; how to engage with phenotyping scientists), and networking opportunities (meet-and-greet, ice breakers, small group discussions). The videos and slide decks for the talks are included on the linked page.

• Displaying Scientific Data with Tableau

Tableau is a popular and capable software product for creating charts that present data and dashboards that allow you to explore data. It is typically used to present business or statistical data, but can also create compelling visualizations of scientific data. However, scientific data is often generated or stored in formats that are not immediately accessible by Tableau. This seminar will explore the data formats that work best with Tableau and the available mechanisms for generating scientific data in (or converting it to) those formats so that you can apply the full power of Tableau to create the best possible visualizations of your data.

• How to Build a Great Relationship with a Mentor

Emphasizes benefits of being mentored. Describes how to identify and choose a mentor. Suggests a path forward. Not mentor or two-way focused.

• Long Tales of Science

• CyberAmbassador Program

The CyberAmbassadors project was funded through a workforce development grant from the National Science Foundation (Award #1730137). Starting in 2017, the initial focus of this project was to develop, test, and refine new curriculum to help CyberInfrastructure (CI) Professionals strengthen their communications, teamwork and leadership skills. With support and collaboration from a number of academic and professional organizations, the CyberAmbassadors project was expanded to offer professional skills training to college students and professionals working across STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) disciplines.

• Python Tools for Data Science

Python has become a very popular programming language and software ecosystem for work in Data Science, integrating support for data access, data processing, modeling, machine learning, and visualization. In this webinar, we will describe some of the key Python packages that have been developed to support that work, and highlight some of their capabilities. This webinar will also serve as an introduction and overview of topics addressed in two Cornell Virtual Workshop tutorials, available at https://cvw.cac.cornell.edu/pydatasci1 and https://cvw.cac.cornell.edu/pydatasci2

• CS224N: NLP with Deep Learning

CS244N is a renowned natural language processing course offered by Stanford University and taught by Christopher Manning. It covers a wide range of topics in NLP, including language modeling, machine translation, sentiment analysis, and more. It teaches both foundational concepts and cutting-edge research to gain a comprehensive understanding of NLP techniques and applications.

This presentation gives a detailed breakdown of the outcome of my master's thesis which was focused on making HPC Clusters accessible across all disciplines in a university setting "Our Case Study was the university of Cincinnati".

• Developer Stories Podcast

As developers, we get excited to think about challenging problems. When you ask us what we are working on, our eyes light up like children in a candy store. So why is it that so many of our developer and software origin stories are not told? How did we get to where we are today, and what did we learn along the way? This podcast aims to look “Behind the Scenes of Tech’s Passion Projects and People.” We want to know your developer story, what you have built, and why. We are an inclusive community - whatever kind of institution or country you hail from, if you are passionate about software and technology you are welcome!

• Data Analysis with R for Educators

This webinar series is an orientation to R. We start with an overview of R’s history and place in the larger data science ecosystem. Next, we introduce the R Studio user interface and how to access R’s excellent documentation. Finally, we present the fundamental concepts you need to use the R environment and language for data analysis. Along the way, we compare R script files (.R) to R Notebook (.Rmd) files and show how the features of R Notebook support better communication and encourage more dynamic engagement with statistical analysis and code. It is helpful to be familiar with tabular data analysis using statistical software, database tools, or spreadsheet programs. Workshop materials, including setup directions and slides are available at https://github.com/CornellCAC/r_for_edu/ The Rstudio Cloud project used in the workshop is https://rstudio.cloud/project/4044219.
