Data Science Courses
Summer Quarter Workshops
The Fred Hutch Data Science Lab (DaSL) is excited to launch its second year of biomedical data science training and learning communities! At DaSL, we believe that everyone, regardless of their educational background, can excel at data science.
For Summer Quarter of 2025, we are offering the following in-person and online workshops in the following topics. Each course or workshop will have learning community sessions to extend your skills.

Reproducible Research
Scientific results and evidence are strengthened if those results can be replicated and confirmed by several independent researchers. When researchers employ transparency in their research - in other words, when they properly document and share the data and processes associated with their analyses - the broader research community is able to save valuable time when reproducing or building upon published results. Often, data or code from prior projects will be re-used by new researchers to verify old findings or develop new analyses.
These workshops aim to help you and your group make your work transparent and reusable by others.
Introduction to Git

| Type | Workshop |
| Dates | Wednesday, June 25 |
| Time | 1:00-2:30 |
| Prerequisites | None |
| Time Commitment | 1 session |
| Audience | Researchers and others who want to learn more about using GitHub for reproducible research |
| Register | Registration Link |
You will learn how to use Git, a version control system that is the primary means of doing reproducible and collaborative research. You will learn to use the web-based interface at Github.com to document the history of your code, create different versions of your code, and share your code with an audience via GitHub!
Learning Objectives
- Explore and explain the anatomy of a Git Repository on GitHub
- Explain how collaborative projects work on GitHub
- Initiate your own repository using Git Desktop
- Add and commit files to your repository
- Publish your repository to GItHub
Intermediate Git

|---|---|
| Type | Workshop |
| Dates | June 26 |
| Time | Thursday 1:00-2:30 |
| Prerequisites | Intro to Command Line |
| Time Commitment | 1 session |
| Audience | Researchers who want to utilize command-line tools such as Git/GitHub |
| Register | Registration Link |
In this workshop we’ll build on our Git skills by working with command-line git tools. You will become familiar with the Git workflow, including reverting a commit, branching a repository, and opening pull requests to collaborate on an online repository. By the end, you will come out with skills and recommendations on making your code available and reproducible.
