24 February 2025: Bring Your Own Data

Bring your own dataset and make publication-quality figures.

“Bring Your Own Data” data visualization workshop

The bioDSC organizes a “Bring Your Own Data” data visualization workshop. In this workshop, you will work on your own dataset and make insightful visualizations using ggplot2 in R. All datasets are welcome, ranging from a small pilot experiment to large-scale experimental assays.

The aims of this workshop are:

• To make (publication-quality) plots of your dataset
• To write reusable scripts to generate more plots later with new datasets
• To become more experienced and confident in using R and ggplot2

Prior experience

For this workshop, we assume that you have some experience with data manipulation and visualisation in R, using the tidyverse packages dplyr, tidyr and ggplot2. For example, you have followed our recent workshop Introduction to R where we covered the materials of R for Social Scientists. Alternatively, you have similar experience from other courses or your own explorations.

Workshop logistics

In this workshop, you will work by yourself on your own dataset. Martijn Wehrens, Misha Paauw, and Frans van der Kloet from the bioDSC will be available to help you with all the problems you encounter along the way. There is room for 4-12 participants. You have to bring your own laptop, with and R and RStudio installed, including the tidyverse package.
