# Announcing the 2018 Data Intensive Biology Summer Institute (DIBSI)!

Link: http://ivory.idyll.org/dibsi/

Where: Davis, California; in Valley Hall at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine
When: June 25 to July 14, 2018 (multiple events; see below)
What: Computational training for research-active biologists and bioinformaticians!
Contact info: please send questions to [dibsi.t...@gmail.com](mailto:dibsi.training@gmail.com).

This summer, the Lab for Data Intensive Biology will host a summer institute for biologists interested in learning or improving upon computational skills. This will include a two week no-skills-required workshop (July 2-July 14) during which biologists will learn cloud computing, UNIX command line skills, and high-throughput shotgun sequencing data analysis -- this workshop was successfully run for seven years at Michigan State University and moved to UC Davis last year.

DIBSI is open to anyone and everyone.

The activities at the DIBSI will include:

* A two-day instructor training course for teachers and core facility personnel to become Carpentry instructors (June 25-26);
* Several Software and Data Carpentry 2-day workshops (June 27-28);
* A two-week introductory bioinformatics workshop ([see materials from 2017](https://angus.readthedocs.io/en/2017)) (July 2-July 14)

All materials from the workshops will be freely and openly available for reuse after the Summer Institute.

For more information, please see the DIBSI 2018 Web site at http://ivory.idyll.org/dibsi/.

Applications for ANGUS are open until Mar 5!: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeuXw5aX6NUGdzb4NnhQi3CLEMIxHr_vvVZFB762fCJkkkYGA/viewform - after that, acceptance will be on a rolling basis given availability.
