Last month, we held two Software Carpentry workshops back-to-back in Durham, North Carolina, one at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center and a second organized by Cliburn Chan for the biostats group at Duke just three days later. These workshops were taught by Jenny Bryan, Elliott Hauser, and myself with Karen Cranston teaching as well at NESCent. The workshops were both somewhat atypical: NESCent was a smaller workshop (only 11 participants) who work together and share an interest in evolutionary biology, and at both NESCent and Duke we presented in R rather than Python. Overall, both workshops were very successful, and I learned a lot, both about R and teaching a Software Carpentry workshop.
