This course covers the basics of Python programming for beginners. Python is widely used in data science, with packages like Pandas for data wrangling and Seaborn for visualization. Participants will practice scripting, working with tabular data, and creating visualizations. Access to NIH's High Performance Computing System (Biowulf) is recommended for this course; if unavailable, one of the 30 in-class use only accounts will be provided to the participant.
