Intermediate Data Science Office Hours

Weekly: Every Thursday from 1:00-2:00pm

Have you seen the same starter code a million times to load data into a Jupyter notebook, but aren’t sure what to actually do next? Have you heard about “data cleaning,” but aren’t sure if (or how) it applies to your work? Did someone give you a terminal command to run, and you just want someone to explain in plain language what all those little fiddly bits are doing? Come talk to the eScience Institute’s Technical Education Specialist to get some human help about how to advance your computational work. Tools we can help with include Python, R, OpenRefine, Git and UNIX shells, among others. This service is available only to current UW faculty, students, and staff.
