LunchBytes
LunchBytes is a series of short tutorials that include an introduction to a method, tool, or dataset and some simple hands-on examples. Some material from previous sessions can be found below.
Format:
- 2-3 hrs duration over lunch
- 15-20min intro talk by host, while attendees have lunch (usually order in pizza where we'll split the cost)
- binding first come, first serve registration (head count for pizza ordering and size of room available)
- host will prepare a tutorial and tasks to work on
- attendees hack their own new use-cases
- relaxed setup
- feel free to adapt
Brief history: LunchBytes was born out of OES JournalClub, with a small group of junior scientists who wanted to exchange technical knowledge but with more hands-on experience. It is not a regular weekly or even monthly seminar, but rather if anyone has something they want to learn or share from a more technical/tool-driven perspective, this is a framework that it can be conducted on. It is a bottom-up approach and interest-driven seminar, with a relaxed atmosphere over lunch with pizza.
