University Libraries is partnering with DNAnexus and the OpenCravatGroup at Johns Hopkins
University to host a virtual hackathon titled "Clinical Reporting of MultiOmics Data!" on June 1-4, 2021. A variety of exciting projects from the list below will be built into a comprehensive reporting system for these types of data, building off of previous work from hackathons at CMU, Baylor College of Medicine, and others run by DNAnexus and NCBI.
After a brief organizational session, teams will spend four days addressing a challenging set of scientific problems related to a group of genomics datasets. Participants will analyze and combine datasets in order to work on crucial problems and opportunities in clinical bioinformatics. Throughout the four days, participants will come together to discuss progress on each of the topics, bioinformatics best practices, coding styles, etc., and receive support from data librarians and academic liaison librarians from CMU Libraries on data management education and recommended practices for writing manuscripts.
Interested in genomics data and increasing your computational and collaborative skills? Applications are open! Submit your application by May 11th!

Registration for our next 
Fan of The Carpentries? Then we think you'll love our new workshop 'Mini-series'' covering the foundational skills and concepts needed to produce reproducible research. The OSDC 'Minis' are designed to teach researchers basic concepts, skills, and tools for working with data so that they can get more done in less time, and with less pain. 
Hi everyone! I am an environmental scientist and recent graduate of CMU's Public Policy and Management master's program. While my early career was devoted to addressing water quality issues in my home state of Florida, I later relocated to the Peruvian Amazon, where for three years I managed the Amazon Conservation Association's volunteer and biological monitoring programs. For the past five years, I have been using open source, peer-to-peer, and other collaborative tools and practices to make science and other forms of civic engagement more open and accessible to the public. As OSDC Project Coordinator, I'll be assisting the OSDC team in expanding our offerings for foundational data science training and increasing the number of citizen science and other informal science opportunities available to students and other members of the CMU research community. I'm thrilled to be joining the OSDC team in their ongoing efforts to improve research and scholarship through open science practices! Feel free to reach out via my
