Short Online Course – 1st Edition
October 10th-11th, 2022
Online live sessions on Monday 10th and Tuesday 11th, from 13:00 to 18:00 (Madrid time zone).
Live sessions will be recorded. Recordings will be made available to participants for a limited period of time. However, attendance to the live sessions is required.
Course OverviewThis two-day course will highlight useful tools of data manipulation from R’s Tidyverse suite of packages. The Tidyverse packages are built upon a philosophy of a tidy data structure: a rectangular (spreadsheet like) data structure where each row is one observation, each column is one variable, and each cell contains one value. The Tidyverse packages follow a set of shared rules and share a common syntax style, both designed to maximize code readability and reproducibility.
The emphasis of this short-course will be on the core packages dplyr and tidyr in combination with packages specific to manipulating date-time data (lubridate), text data (stringr), and categorical data (forcats). Class exercises will provide practice restructuring data, value replacement, group operations, and row- and column-wise functions.
Students are encouraged to bring spreadsheet data (Excel, csv, txt or similar) from their own work. The course content assumes some prior basic R experience and will require a current install of both R and RStudio.
Dr. Ashton Drew, is owner of data consulting firm KDV Decision Analysis LLC and an R Studio Certified Tidyverse and Shiny instructor.
All participants must have a computer (Windows, Macintosh) with current versions of R and R Studio pre-installed. If you have any problem installing them, please contact the course coordinator. Basic knowledge of R is required.
Webcam and headphones are strongly recommended, as well as a good internet connection.

Transmitting Science started in 2012 to manage specialized courses and workshops we were already organizing within our own partnerships. Up to date, we have already run more than 120 advanced courses in different topics related to Life Sciences.
All the courses are self-financed with participant’s fees and we strive to keep the fees to the minimum necessary for running them.
Our courses cover a wide range of research methods and are aimed at postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers and established academics from all over the world.
