Sun July 28th Event- Biological Data, Bioinformatics and the Gears that Make Biological Machines Tick.

by Ryan Bethencourt

Dear All, Please feel free to sign up for the free Bioinformatics class that Ron will be running at Sudo room on the 28th of July! http://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/events/129899352/ The intersection of biology and computer science is showing tremendous potential. Literally thousands of data sources great and small are publicly available now. Come and enjoy a low key introduction to all the ‘omes’ – genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes, methylomes, metabolomes, etc. We’ll play with some of the more useful data sources, tools and biological pathways. No biology training is necessary – the talk will be accessible to anyone. Programming skills are useful, but not necessary. Tools: If you have a laptop, please bring it. We will try to look at data in the class and preview a couple of tools. Cygwin on windows machines, OsX or linux are useful here, but we can go over these at the time if needed. We will be open to designing a project for anyone who wants to go deeper and get more experience with Bioinformatics. Ron Shigeta PhD Trained in biophysics and structural biology has been doing bioinformatics for 12 years in bay area biotech. My current interests are pharma pipeline tools, machine learning, and synthetic biology. All the best, Ryan -- Ryan Bethencourt Tel: (415) 825 2705 ryan.bethencourt(a)gmail.com www.bamh1.com www.linkedin.com/in/bethencourt www.logos-press.com/books/biotechnology_business_development.php

(no subject)

by Hol Gaskill

Hi Folks, Last night went pretty well overall despite not getting my beer machine operational due to disappointing answers to such questions as "how many power cords into power strips into power cords can I connect?" and the ever popular "will the plumbing leak where you least expect it?" We did have some newbies there working on a robotics project for a school assignment and let me tell you, there's something about the smell of burning servos that just can't be beat. Overall their objective is to use machine vision as a feedback for actuators, seems pretty cool. Rabbit and I put together some power hardware to map 4D visualizations to some addressable LED strips for a burning man project. We did a little probing of the door raspi but couldn't get a rise out of the relevant GPIO pin so I defer to the original system designers, but volunteer to fabricate a plug-in circuit board to streamline the component layout. Also got some soldering assistance from one of the sudo kids who gravitated toward the table full of wires. This final point lead me to an idea - I'd like to incorporate a sudokids robotics event once a month. Open to any and all ideas as to how this would play out, but at minimum we could have them build and compete remote controlled rovers, in both co-op and free for all modes of course. Let me know if you have any ideas for kid-friendly microcontroller projects. I'd like to develop this idea and start mid-september. Happy Hacking, hol

Fwd: [P2P-F] Fwd:Invitation to sign up for a course on collaborative workshops

by Marina Kukso

hey sudoers, if you have done a TIL, workshop, or had any other colearning experiences (if you've learned something from someone at sudo room, grats! you have had a colearning experience) and are interested in learning about how other people approach workshops in order to improve your experience, i am considering signing up for the below. anyone else interested? - marina ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Darren <mail(a)vegburner.co.uk> Date: Thu, Jul 18, 2013 at 5:31 PM Subject: [P2P-F] Fwd:Invitation to sign up for a course on collaborative workshops To: ose-europe(a)googlegroups.com, openmanufacturing(a)googlegroups.com, p2p-foundation <p2p-foundation(a)lists.ourproject.org> Forgive the cross posting -------- Original Message -------- Anyone up for a bit of this? https://p2pu.org/en/courses/77/collaborative-workshops-in-informal-learning… nice one Mick Invitation to sign up for a course on collaborative workshops I’m helping to run a course on delivering workshop which is going to be hosted on p2pu.org as part of the School of Open- I’ve designed some badges and we are due to start sign up on the 22nd of July. While I like to think that we have added our own special touch, most materials have been gathered from existing sources. The one thing they all have in common is that they are all published under open licences. The main sources have their own excellent websites so if you want to go straight to the source then check them out here; http://www.seedsforchange.org.uk/ http://aspirationtech.org/ http://rhizomenetwork.wordpress.com/ Would you like to be a part of this course? Maybe you already know a bit about delivering workshops and would like to share your experiences? Maybe you are new to workshops and facilitation? Perhaps you can join this course with some of your colleagues as a way of learning together? One of the reasons that I am helping to run this course is to use it as a way of doing some professional development. I’ve spend some time working with partners from Creative Commons and the P2PU.org to research and pull together some of what we feel are the best introductory materials and techniques on delivering collaborative and interactive workshops. This course is a way of bringing existing materials to a new audience on new platforms (p2pu.org and FLOSS Manuals). Also by remixing them into an online course it allows people to share their experiences while they work through the materials and suggestions for planning a workshop. We are adding Open Badges into the mix too. We are keeping it simple. If you plan a workshop you can submit it for peer review to get a badge. And if you deliver a workshop and take photos and write up your learning, well that deserves a badge too. Though online discussion via comments, and via live group chat sessions we hope to build a community of people who will plan and then ideally deliver a workshop with peer support from other course participants. If you are new to delivering workshops then this is a great opportunity to learn from a great group of trainers some of whom have some fantastic experiences to share. On the other hand, this course is a perfect chance for existing trainers to experiment with this online learning tool and community. You can dip a toe in the water while working with familiar subject matter. To sign up visit the course home page, click on Start Course on the left of the column. You will need to sign up for p2pu.org. If you have any questions you can find me on @mickfuzz on twitter or email me on – mickfuzz at clearerchannel.org _______________________________________________ P2P Foundation - Mailing list http://www.p2pfoundation.net https://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation
