We are excited to share that we have five new open science-themed workshops this semester.

Easing the transition from MATLAB to Python with AI, taught by Kristen Scotti, will show you how to take advantage of ChatGPT and Bard to translate their code from a proprietary coding language to an open and freely available one.

Kristen will also be teaching a two part workshop on Data Exploration with Python and SQL in Redivis. As mentioned above, Redivis is a new cloud-based platform for storing and working with data. Rather than clog up your computer with large datasets, you can quickly perform analyses on datasets in the Cloud with Redivis. Kristen will teach learners how to do this with Python and SQL.

Lencia Beltran will be teaching a workshop called Regex 101: Fundamentals for Beginners. Come learn how to use regex, a useful tool for text searching and pattern matching, in Python.

Chasz Griego will be teaching Encapsulating Reproducible Computational Research with Code Ocean. Code Ocean is a great tool for improving the reproducibility of a computational project and Chasz will demonstrate how to create a reproducible snapshot of a software environment for a variety of programming languages and libraries (including Python, R, MATLAB, and Julia).

Submitting Your Thesis or Dissertation to CMU Libraries, taught by Katie Behrman and Emily Bongiovanni, will cover how to publish dissertations open access for free with CMU’s KiltHub repository.

You can find the full schedule of open science workshops on our Libraries’ workshops website, including the popular Building Your Programming Toolbox series. You can also find a selection of upcoming workshops below.
