I am currently recruiting undergraduate students interested in gaining data science and analytical skills. “Penguin Data Club” is a weekly meeting for undergrads at the University of Cincinnati. Working in collaboration with Dr. Katie Kalafut and the Cincinnati Zoo, we will dig into the social lives of Little Blue Penguins. During Fall 2020, all meetings will be virtual.
This is an opportunity for undergrad students to learn about data analysis, coding in R, social network analysis, and of course, penguins! We will meet virtually once a week (2 hours) and depending on whether the student is volunteering or working towards research credit or capstone credit, more work will occur on the student’s own schedule (determined on a case by case basis).
Previous experience with data analysis or coding is not required — students should be motivated and excited to learn. Please bring a laptop to each meeting and come ready to code!
Please visit this link (https://forms.gle/8y3EXZQK64ofwfuK6) and fill out the form if you are interested.
More information and examples of our activities during fall 2019 are here: https://hobsonresearch.com/index.php/tag/penguin-data-club/
FIRST MEETING: Our first meeting of Fall 2020 PDC will be Oct 21st!
UPDATE: Fall 2020 PDC meetings are 6:30-8:30pm (eastern) and meet over Zoom and/or gather.town. Please fill out the form above (disregarding the question about scheduling times) or email elizabeth.hobson@uc.edu if you would like to join us!
If you are interested in getting course credit, I am offering a new course in Spring 2021 called Analytical Tools for Behavior which is based off of PDC!
