Quick turnaround opportunity to guest lecture

[Tiffanie Nelson]

Dear colleagues, 

Senior Lecturer, Dr Wendi Bacon, from The Open University, UK is seeking basic, pre-recorded lectures that are <30 minutes on the topics in single-cell RNA-seq analysis. The goal is to facilitate teaching single cell bioinformatics to underprivileged students. Further details are below. It is a quick turnaround with Wendi requiring presentations recorded before 2nd Sept (BST timezone) and availability during 16-20 Sept for a brief Q&A with students. 

If you are interested and willing to help, please review the details below and register your interest with myself or Wendi.

Best regards,

Tiff

I’m running a workshop this September 16-20 entitled “Bioinformatics Bootcamp”, which is (free) for Open University students (a highly diverse group of students who, for various reasons, cannot achieve their educational dreams by attending a brick university, and instead take on distance-learning degrees with us).

 

I wanted them to get to see and learn from scientists all over the world – i.e. people like you.

 

I need some fairly basic, pre-recorded lectures that are <30 minutes on the following topics in single-cell RNA-seq analysis:

 

1 – Pre-processing

2 – Filter, plot & explore

3 - Trajectories

Then, the lecturer pops along to a live Questions & Answers session (or, if desired, any kind of interactivity you like) for up to 30 min with the students.

 

You are applying scRNA-seq in very cool ways.

Would you be up for giving a lecture? (And if so, do you have any particular preferences on topic)?

 

Additional feel-good carrot: This course is going to pilot learning in coding vs button-based environments using the Galaxy interface. Which is to say, we’re hoping to get a paper on bioinformatics education out of it. If you contribute to the course and also to the writing of the manuscript, we can add you as a co-author.
