Welcome to R! Working with a programming language (especially if it’s your first time) often feels intimidating, but the rewards outweigh any frustrations. An important secret of coding is that even experienced programmers find it difficult and frustrating at times – so if even the best feel that way, why let intimidation stop you? Given time and practice* you will soon find it easier and easier to accomplish what you want. Why learn to code? Bioinformatics – like biology – is messy. Different organisms, different systems, different conditions, all behave differently. Experiments at the bench require a variety of approaches – from tested protocols to trial-and-error. Bioinformatics is also an experimental science, otherwise we could use the same software and same parameters for every genome assembly. Learning to code opens up the full possibilities of computing, especially given that most bioinformatics tools exist only at the command line. Think of it this way: if you could only do molecular biology using a kit, you could probably accomplish a fair amount. However, if you don’t understand the biochemistry of the kit, how would you troubleshoot? How would you do experiments for which there are no kits? R is one of the most widely-used and powerful programming languages in bioinformatics. R especially shines where a variety of statistical tools are required (e.g. RNA-Seq, population genomics, etc.) and in the generation of publication-quality graphs and figures. Rather than get into an R vs. Python debate (both are useful), keep in mind that many of the concepts you will learn apply to Python and other programming languages. Finally, we won’t lie; R is not the easiest-to-learn programming language ever created. So, don’t get discouraged! The truth is that even with the modest amount of R we will cover today, you can start using some sophisticated R software packages, and have a general sense of how to interpret an R script. Get through these lessons, and you are on your way to being an accomplished R user! * We very intentionally used the word practice. One of the other “secrets” of programming is that you can only learn so much by reading about it. Do the exercises in class, re-do them on your own, and then work on your own problems.

We must be able to analyze evidence in order to effectively evaluate online information. In this lesson, students practice evaluating evidence that is presented in three online arguments about mandatory Saturday school. This lesson is designed to be taught following the Intro to Who's Behind the Information? Saturday School lesson.https://cor.stanford.edu/curriculum/lessons/intro-whos-behind-the-information-saturday-school

This is an open-source and open access book on how to do Data Science using Julia. The book describes the basics of the Julia programming language DataFrames.jl for data manipulation and Makie.jl for data visualization.

You will learn to:

- Read CSV and Excel data into Julia
- Process data in Julia, that is, learn how to answer data questions
- Filter and subset data
- Handle missing data
- Join multiple data sources together
- Group and summarize data
- Export data out of Julia to CSV and Excel files
- Plot data with different Makie.jl backends
- Save visualizations in several formats such as PNG or PDF
- Use different plotting functions to make diverse data visualizations
- Customize visualizations with attributes
- Use and create new plotting themes
- Add LaTeX elements to plots
- Manipulate color and palettes
- Create complex figure layouts

In these texts, Peter Suber makes the case for open access to research; answers common questions, objections, and misunderstandings; analyzes policy issues; and documents the growth and evolution of open access during its most critical early decade.

Perspektiven auf einen gesellschaftlichen Umbruch

Short Description:
Die Digitalisierung ist ein Phänomen, das unsere Gesellschaft durchdringt und herausfordert. Ihr scheint eine Kraft innezuwohnen, die mit einem Wandel in vielen Bereichen einhergeht. Vor diesem Hintergrund spricht man auch von einer digitalen Transformation, von einem grundlegenden Umbruch, der unser Miteinander durcheinanderwirbelt, neu strukturiert und sich durch eine neue Qualität der Verwobenheit von Mensch, Organisation und Technologie in nahezu allen Lebensbereichen auszuzeichnen scheint. Dieses Kompendium ist der Versuch, die Digitale Transformation aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven zu beleuchten, um sie jenseits ihrer technologischen Dimension interpretieren, verstehen und begreifen zu können.

Long Description:
Die Digitalisierung ist ein Phänomen, das unsere Gesellschaft durchdringt und herausfordert. Ihr scheint eine Kraft innezuwohnen, die in vielen Bereichen einen Wandel bewirken kann. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist auch die Rede von einer digitalen Transformation, von einem grundlegenden Umbruch, der unser Miteinander durcheinanderwirbelt, neu strukturiert und sich durch eine neue Qualität der Verwobenheit von Mensch, Organisation und Technologie in nahezu allen Lebensbereichen auszuzeichnen scheint. Digitalisierung, verstanden als digitale Transformation, ist damit weit mehr als eine neue technologische Errungenschaft, die technische Prozesse oder betriebswirtschaftliche Verfahrensabläufe effizienter und transparenter macht. Digitalisierung ist vielmehr die Art und Weise, mit der das Digitale unsere Gesellschaft und unser Verhalten durchdringt und – mehr oder weniger bewusst – verändert.

Dieses Kompendium ist der Versuch, die Digitale Transformation aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven zu beleuchten, um sie jenseits ihrer technologischen Dimension interpretieren, verstehen und begreifen zu können. Autorinnen und Autoren mit unterschiedlichen fachlichen Hintergründen und Perspektiven geben Impulse für einen transdisziplinären Diskurs mit aktueller gesellschaftspolitischer Relevanz.

Das Kompendium Digitale Transformation ist längerfristig angelegt und soll laufend ergänzt und fortgeschrieben werden. Grundlegende wissenschaftliche Reflexionen und Zusammenhänge sollen dabei mit praktischen Erfahrungen und Vorstellungen konfrontiert werden, so dass sie sich wechselseitig hinterfragen und befruchten können. Auf diese Weise soll das Kompendium sowohl als Diskursbeitrag wie auch als Impuls für einen bewussten und verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit der Digitalen Transformation dienen.
