Welcome

Serrapilheira/ICTP-SAIFR Training Program in Quantitative Biology and Ecology

Welcome to the module Introduction to Scientific Programming. This material is part of the Serrapilheira/ICTP-SAIFR Training Program in Quantitative Biology and Ecology held at ICTP from July to December 2022.

The goal of the course is to provide basic tools to create a data analysis project, learn R basics in Biology and Ecology, and help to navigate the R community in the search for specific solutions. At the end, students should be empowered to create their own scientific workflow for an analytic project in R making use of basic reproducibility tools.

This module will be taught by Sara Mortara and Andrea Sánchez-Tapia
