For the researcher, analyst, or R user, containers have applications ranging from reproducible analytical environments to packaging statistical code to use in web applications. I will discuss how biomedical researchers can make use of containerization technology, particularly the tools provided by the Rocker Project, which publishes powerful standardized containers for the R language. + + +### Register here: [https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_aWMKlQngTUqgp4G_qkkD_g](https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_aWMKlQngTUqgp4G_qkkD_g) + + +## Speaker + +![](images/NoamRoss.png){width=50%} + + +[Noam Ross](https://www.linkedin.com/in/noamross/) is a computational disease ecologist and Executive Director of rOpenSci, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting open science and validating data science and computational methods. He is a core member of the Rocker Project, which maintains standardized containers for the R computer language. Noam's work includes spearheading rOpenSci's work in software peer review, developing a widely emulated system for leveraging the academic peer-review process coupled with state-of-the art automated code analysis to improve code quality in the scientific software in ecosystem, as well as using review as a mechanism for community building and training. His research interests and contributions span a wide range of topics, including disease ecology, zoonotic spillover, mechanistic modeling of disease dynamics, and non-parametric data science methods. His applied work includes creating early outbreak assessment models for the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency, and modeling and forecasting for New York State’s COVID-19 emergency response. Noam holds a Ph.D. in theoretical ecology from the University of California-Davis and a B.Sc. from Brown University. diff --git a/webinars/images/NoamRoss.png b/webinars/images/NoamRoss.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c121cc8 Binary files /dev/null and b/webinars/images/NoamRoss.png differ diff --git a/webinars/images/containerization-and-r-webinar-graphic.jpg b/webinars/images/containerization-and-r-webinar-graphic.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b9f677f Binary files /dev/null and b/webinars/images/containerization-and-r-webinar-graphic.jpg differ diff --git a/webinars/webinars.qmd b/webinars/webinars.qmd index 0df60a2..c615f03 100644 --- a/webinars/webinars.qmd +++ b/webinars/webinars.qmd @@ -17,6 +17,12 @@ ___ ## Upcoming Webinars + +![](images/containerization-and-r-webinar-graphic.jpg){width=60%} + +Learn more: [Containerization and R for Reproducibility and More](containerization-and-r-for-reproducibility.qmd) + + ![](images/R-Validation-Mini-Series.webp){width=60%} Learn more: [Tidy Finance Webinar Series](tidy-finance-webinar-series.qmd)
