Modules

Computing in R

Introduction to programming

In this module, we will focus on programming fundamentals, with applications to biological data. We will also introduce libraries like plyr and dplyr to go over how the tidyverse gang opts to do data manipulation.

Host-virus associations

VIRION

In this module, we will learn how to manipulate and visualize data, using the largest host-virus association database as a learning tool.

Ecological Simulation

Simulated data

In this module, we will discuss how to simulate biological dynamics to test theory. In doing so, we will go over working with structured data (e.g., lists) and parallelization.

Species distribution modeling

From Schell et al. 2020, https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aay4497

Geospatial data

In this module, we will learn how to query APIs, visualize geospatial data, and build predictive models of species geographic distributions.
