We are seeking applicants for a summer school on data-driven ecological synthesis, to be held in Montréal, in May 2017.
The main goal of this summer school is to give early-career ecologists the tools they need to interact with open data, and use them to ask general questions. In particular, we will discuss how diverse data can be integrated to further ecological synthesis and analysis. Over the course of seven days, including students-led projects to be continued after the class, we will cover: - good practices for data management - useful statistical and mathematical tools - data cleaning and data analysis tools - notions of parallel computing for fast data processing - data visualisation and presentation - ensuring reproducibility of analyses More informations and links to the application form here: http://poisotlab.io/summerschool/ Timothée Poisot
