classes:

   descriptions:
    - name: Installing and navigating the scientific Python stack
      id: scipy
      blurb: This session will give an overview of the major Python libraries used for data science. Participants will learn how to manage and install these libraries using the conda package manager.
    - name: How to write a reproducible paper
      id: reprod
      blurb: Modern research relies heavily on software and code. These aspects of the research methodology are rarely (if ever) documented in modern research papers, which has led to a reproducibility crisis in published computational research. This talk will outline the practical steps you can take to ensure that your papers are reproducible.
    - name: TPAC Nectar Cloud Starter
      id: nectar
      blurb: Is your laptop running out of battery? Or disk space? Do you need a server computer to work with your colleague? Or colleagues? In Canada? The Nectar Research Cloud provides. It provides flexible ways of accessing many CPU and GB, or TB, or even PB. At bandwidths that measure in the Gb. Better yet, it's free if you work or study at an Australian research institution. Join this Cloud Starter class to learn hands-on how to launch your own virtual machine in the Nectar Cloud to help take your Resbaz Bash, R and Python skills to the next level and to the next scale.
    - name: Managing marine and Antarctic data at UTAS
      id: utasdata
      blurb: TBA
    - name: R-Ladies meetup
      id: rladies
      blurb: R-Ladies is a world-wide organisation to promote gender diversity in the R community. The purpose of this session is to gauge interest in starting a Hobart chapter.
    - name: Installing and navigating the scientific R stack
      id: scir
      blurb: This session will give an overview of the major R libraries used for data science. Participants will learn how to manage and install these libraries.
 - class: grouptwo
   descriptions:
    - name: Data science consultations
      id: consults
      blurb: Come along and listen to our experienced Software Carpentry instructors interview willing researchers about their personal data science workflows. If you're feeling brave you can put your hand up to be an interviewee, otherwise sit back and join in the audience discussion.
    - name: Oceans and Clouds. Managing AODN Infrastructure in the Cloud
      id: imos
      blurb: This session provides an overview of how the Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN) team leverages cloud technologies to support developing services for delivering oceanographic data. Utilising these technologies allows us to deliver reliable and scalable solutions for data availability. In this session, we provide an introduction to some of the most useful cloud services and insight into future possibilities for AODN infrastructure.
    - name: Getting started with netCDF
      id: netcdf
      blurb: This session will give an overview of the basic concepts you need to understand when dealing with data stored in netCDF format (e.g. common metadata conventions). A demonstration of how to interact with netCDF files using Python and R will be given, followed a discussion of tools that can be used when netCDF files get really large.
    - name: Speechcraft. Introduction to effective formal presentations.
      id: speech
      blurb: A critical skill for any scientist is the ability to effectively communicate your ideas. This course is a very short introduction to effective public speaking, and introduces some basic concepts such as how to prepare and structure your speech, the use of visual aids and speaking with confidence. Each participant will be asked to deliver a 2 minute speech and will be given a critical evaluation.
    - name: How to write an executable paper
      id: exec
      blurb: In this session Tom will present a range of options to integrate figure and table creation into the final document. This process allows the figures, tables and values within the document to be automatically updated as data is corrected or added too.  The aspirational goal would be to be able to program much of the final output as well (increase / neutral / decrease statements), which could be useful for regular reporting, but this useful feature is less clear in an academic context.
    - name: Oceanographic data analysis using Ferret
      id: Ferret
      blurb: This session will give an introduction to Ferret, which is a data analysis and visualisation environment used extensively in the oceanography community.
