Workshop 1: Guiding principles for FAIR and open science - 
Erin Dickie, Sejal Patel

Why reproducible science?

The things you need to know to get through this course:

Versioning and publishing code (github)

Versioning and publishing software (docker)

Watch on Youtube

Workshop 2: Tools for Reproducible Science - 
Erin Dickie, Sejal Patel

R with Rmarkdown (walk through)

Python in ipython notebooks (walk through)

     -also google colab

The fancy bits:

  - building your own binder environments

  - building your own containers (docker & singularity)

The workshop demostates how to work with the Synapse platform.

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.
