[Compbio-allhands] helpers needed for Software Carpentry Workshops April 29 and 30 at Mission Bay
by Patricia C. Babbitt 26 Apr '16

26 Apr '16

The UCSF Library is hosting a Software Carpentry Python workshop this Friday and Saturday, April 29th and 30th at Mission Bay and we need your help to make it successful! We will have 80 UCSF researchers at this event – 46 beginners and 34 advanced beginners. Here is what we need: 1 person with technical competence in Python who is willing to be helpers to the Software Carpentry Instructors during both days of the bootcamp. Workshops will run from 9 - 5 on Friday and Saturday (workshop info can be found here:http://bsmith89.github.io/2016-04-29-ucsf/). As a helper you will have the interpersonal skills to spot people who are confused and help them get unstuck during the practical sessions. Helpers are vital to keeping workshops flowing smoothly. More details on the role of the helper is here:https://software-carpentry.org/workshops/checklists/helpers.html Here is what you will get if you are the right person for this role: * $100 Visa Gift Card * Breakfast and coffee/snacks each day * An opportunity to learn the material well enough to teach it yourself in the future * Credit on the workshop materials and you can put this effort on your CV as service to the UCSF community, showing you have teaching experience in these areas If you are interested in this opportunity please emailariel.deardorff(a)ucsf.edu<mailto:ariel.deardorff@ucsf.edu> to get more details and see if you are a good fit for this role. -- Patricia Babbitt Professor, Department of Bioengineering & Therapeutic Sciences and Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences Director, Graduate Program in Biological & Medical Informatics University of California, San Francisco UCSF MC 2550 Byers Hall Room508E 1700 4th Street San Francisco, CA 94143, USA Tel +1 (415) 476-3784 Fax +1 415-502-8193 Email: babbitt(a)cgl.ucsf.edu; Web http://babbittlab.ucsf.edu/ Assistant: Ms. Sydney Russell Leed, +1 415-514-1214, 415-514-9816 Sydney.RussellLeed(a)ucsf.edu <mailto:Sydney.RussellLeed@ucsf.edu>
