Introduction to Python and Jupyter notebooks for scientific data analysis 

Session Presenter: David Alston

This workshop is focused on making scientists feel more comfortable setting up and using python. It is intended to be a jumping off point for attendees to start learning and using python on their own after the workshop; no prior python experience is needed. During this workshop, we will:

• • Set up and use a conda environment using miniforge.

  • Go through the basics of an IDE (VS Code) including GitHub integration and the basics of source control.

  • Run a simple script to load an image, perform some analysis, and then generate and export that analyzed data and some figures.

Before attending the workshop, attendees should:

• • Install VS Code on a laptop that they will bring with them

  • Create a GitHub account and enable up two factor authentication (duo, google authenticator, etc.).

  • Download all the data located here

  • (Optional) – Read through section 3 here
