The workshop demostates how to work with the Synapse platform.

titleHow to get a Synapse Account

Workshop 1 will use push and pull data to the synapse platform for sharing biomedical datasets using the synapseClient python package. In order to be able to run all the commands in tutorial 1, a "verified" synapse account is required. For folks who are not able to create an account or get certified before the session tomorrow the instructor will cover the concepts for tractable data analysis that can still be generally applicable beyond synapse platform. Getting a Verified Account is a two step process.
