BDSI R Training I

Scientific Reproducibility in the Biological Sciences

Welcome 👋

This is a training workshop for R beginners offered by the Australian National University (ANU) Biological Data Science Institute (BDSI).

You will develop the skills to work with your research data using R through the RStudio Desktop. These workshops cover setting up R projects, importing data into R, principles of tidy data, basic data visualisation using ggplot2, data wrangling using tidyverse and setting up a reproducible statistical workflow in R.
