This 2-unit course makes it easy to master the skills you need to be a productive scientist in today’s world, including using git (source control), cloud computing (AWS/GCP/Sherlock/etc.) writing clean code, tests, managing dependencies, the best ways to collaborate with fellow researchers and how to conform to NIH’s new compulsory code and data sharing guidelines.
Designed based on 20 years of experience writing and maintaining complex systems, managing engineering and product teams at Google, Twitter and biotechs.
Improve the quality and velocity of your research
Help you publish more often
Make it easier to collaborate with peers
Equip you for a career in academia or industry.
"Having never learned software engineering skills and best practices before, I didn't know what I was missing. In this class, we learned foundational skills that all scientists working with code should understand. Best of all, it greatly improved my productivity and the quality of my research."
