Dear early-career researchers,
You are invited to register for an in-person 2-day Software Carpentry workshop on March 11 and 12, 09:00-17:00 at the LMU Biozentrum in Martinsried. The workshop will cover the Unix shell, version control in git, and
programming in Python.
This workshop teaches core computing skills that will help you be more productive and effective. We will alternate short tutorials with hands-on practical exercises. Participants will be encouraged to help one another
and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.
See the workshop website for more details:
https://lmu-osc.github.io/2026-03-11-LMU-Martinsried/ Instructors: Felix Henninger, Balthasar Schachtner, Jan Simson
Helpers: Pat Callahan, Edouard Bonneville, and we are still looking for 1-2 volunteers (contact us if interested!)
Primary target audience: biology students, (bio)medical students including those in dr. med. programs.
Registration is mandatory, and participation requires setting up the software in advance by following the provided instructions (a help desk session will also take place on March 9). Please register only if you are available
for the whole course.
