Speaker

Description

Python and R are programming languages that can be used in research for statistical analysis, data visualisation, processing text-based data, automation, and increasing replicability. I will give a basic overview of possible uses for Python and R with reference to my own research and other studies. The talk will be non-technical and hopefully you will come away with ideas about improving your research skills by dipping your toes into the world of Python and/or R.
