Investigating animal ageing using Python programming!
All animals age, but some age more slowly than others—the slowest ageing animals might surprise you. Using Python we are going to explore a real biological dataset of animal ageing. In the workshop we will explore the data and then create plots to summarise our results.
This workshop assumes no prior knowledge of Python; you will modify existing pre-written code before gaining the skills to write your own. The workshop will include interactive quizzes and a short competition to determine who can produce the prettiest and ugliest colour palettes for their plots. By the end of the workshop you will be equipped with real Python programming skills and will learn more about the biology of aging.
