Amsterdam Science Park Study Group
LET'S MAKE RESEARCH FASTER, BETTER AND MORE OPEN!
EVENTS
Besides a significant data analysis component, (data) science is also about storytelling. What story emerges from your results? And how do you communicate your insights effectively? In this workshop you learn to use narrative techniques to share your research in a captivating way
People involved: Stephan van Duin (science journalist), organizer: Eva Lekkerkerker (DSC).

Last October, Yu-Hsien Li, a postdoctoral researcher working at SILS, Plant Physiology Department, attended a training workshop focused on structural bioinformatics and organised by the European Molecular Biology Lab (EMBL). Yu-Hsien Li training was funded by the Amsterdam Science Park Study Grant in order to participate to the course in exchange for a small workshop based on what he learned. This workshop will consist of a free lunch followed by two parts on structural protein bioinformatics.
Workshop programme

WHAT WE DO
The Amsterdam Science Park Study Group is dedicated to building a community of computational scientists in biology and other disciplines.
This Amsterdam Science Park Study Group promotes skill sharing and collaboration by:
- organizing interactive coding workshops following the Carpentries Foundation
- regularly organising themed co-working sessions on specific topics
- bringing diverse researchers together to build dedicated tools
All are welcome regardless of their scientific research area, affiliation or training level.

Workshops
Two-day Data and Software Carpentry workshops to practice and learn coding. We also do shorter themed sessions.

Tool development
Creation of ad hoc applications and pipelines for research

Community Building
Meet your peers and start working together. Ask and answer questions.
