The meetings can take place either in person (EMBL Cafeteria, Heidelberg) or via Zoom.
Bookings are open to researchers from all EMBL sites.

Drop-in sessions
Will hopefully start in September 🙂
Prepare your question
We can only help you if we understand your problem! To improve the quality of advice you receive, please write us an email with a short description of your research question at most one day before a meeting.
If you have written some code already, you may also provide an example for your problem containing
- your research question
- a report or code with your current analysis
- the data necessary for running this example and
- a description of the data.
This could for example be a RMarkdown report along with a txt file containing the data.
You can send the example via email or upload it on the EMBL GitLab server.
