DESCRIPTION:Biologists need data analysis skills to be able to interpret\, 
 visualise and communicate their research results. While Excel can cover so
 me data analysis needs\, there is a better choice\, particularly for large
  and complex datasets. \n\nR is a free\, open-source software and programm
 ing language that enables data exploration\, statistical analysis\, visual
 isation and more. The large variety of R packages available for analysing 
 biological data make it a robust and flexible option for data of all shape
 s and sizes. \n\nGetting started can be a little daunting for those withou
 t a background in statistics and programming. In this workshop we will equ
 ip you with the foundations for getting the most out of R and RStudio\, an
  interactive way of structuring and keeping track of your work in R. Using
  biological data from a model of influenza infection\, you will learn how 
 to efficiently and reproducibly organise\, read\, wrangle\, analyse\, visu
 alise and generate reports from your data in R.\n\nTopics covered in this 
 workshop include:\n\n1. Spreadsheets\, organising data and first steps wit
 h R\n2. Manipulating and analysing data with dplyr and joining tables\n3. 
 Data visualisation\n4. Summarized experiments and getting started with Bio
 conductor\n\n**Lead Trainer:** Dr Saskia Freytag (Laboratory Head\, Person
 alised Oncology Division\, WEHI)\n\n**Format**\n\nThis online workshop wil
 l take place over a series of three-hour sessions. You must attend all fou
 r sessions in order to get the most out of the workshop. Expert trainers w
 ill guide you through each of the topics and provide activities and take h
 ome exercises to help you put your new skills into action. Support will be
  provided via Slack between sessions.\n\n**Date/time:** 1\, 8\, 15\, and 2
 2 June 2022: 2 - 5pm AEST/ 1:30-4:30pm ACST/ 12-3pm AWST\n\n1 June 2022: S
 preadsheets\, organising data and first steps with R\n\n8 June 2022: Manip
 ulating and analysing data with dplyr and joining tables\n\n15 June 2022: 
 Data visualisation\n\n22 June 2022: Summarized experiments and getting sta
 rted with Bioconductor\n\nParticipants must attend all four sessions\n\n**
 Learning outcomes**\n\nBy the end of the workshop you should be able to:\n
 \n1. Organise your data for effective use\n2. Use RStudio to structure you
 r work in R and run R packages\n3. Make use of objects\, vectors and funct
 ions in R\n4. Load\, inspect and manipulate data in R\n5. Use dplyr and ti
 dyr and packages to manipulate and reshape data\n6. Produce and customise 
 scatter plots\, box plots\, line plots\, etc. using ggplot\n7. Combine dat
 a spread across multiple tables\n8. Use the SummarizedExperiment package t
 o store and handle omics data\n9. Have some familiarity with Bioconductor 
 \n10. Identify sources of help and support from the R community\n\n**Who t
 he workshop is for**\n\nThis workshop is for Australian life science resea
 rchers who are using\, or intend to use\, R to analyse their data.\n\nThis
  workshop is suitable for absolute beginners or those who wish to go back 
 to basics to ensure they are using R and RStudio effectively. No prior kno
 wledge of R is required.\n\n**How to apply**\n\nThis workshop is free but 
 participation is subject to application with selection. \n\nApplications c
 lose at **11:59pm AEST Wednesday 11 May 2022**.\n\nYou must be associated 
 with an Australian organisation and provide an appropriate organisational 
 email address for your application to be considered.\n\nApplications will 
 be reviewed by the organising committee and all applicants will be informe
 d of the status of their application (successful\, waiting list\, unsucces
 sful). Successful applicants will be provided with a Zoom meeting link clo
 ser to the date.\n\n**[Apply here](https://r-fundamentals.eventbrite.com.a
