Dear EMBRIO Folk, Below are several upcoming opportunities to engage in learning and exchange of research relevant to EMBRIO: R Café Starts Tomorrow 3:30 pm. Those interested in learning or brushing up on using R for data analysis, the first session of R Café starts tomorrow afternoon 3:30 - 4:30 pm in DLR 221 or virtual link https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/3998037199<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue-edu.zoom.us%2Fj%2F3998037199&data=05%7C01%7Cembrio-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7Cb5f298e7c03b43800e9608dbae39fd54%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638295337820893322%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=TEveix5z%2BJ7XZnsMz93V1A6jbN%2BXx%2FtIt%2BZhF3lQ6RI%3D&reserved=0> and will run bi-weekly for the Fall semester. Dr. Priyanka Baloni & Dr. Anke Tukker will be hosting a bi-weekly session for those interested in learning R and solving their research related questions. Participants only need to bring their laptop with R and R studio installed<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Frstudio-education.github.io%2Fhopr%2Fstarting.html&data=05%7C01%7Cembrio-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7Cb5f298e7c03b43800e9608dbae39fd54%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638295337820893322%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=mUjJ%2F7C9nnuxBGIT3UG3N3H3Y2wcd0YTGfjW32iXJDE%3D&reserved=0>. We will have an interactive session where we try to solve coding related questions and learn new things related to data analysis and visualization using R. We invite everyone to work on their own R projects, ask questions and learn from each other. EMBRIO Mini-Workshop on Solving ODE's and PDE's - 9/11 and 9/18 Dr. Linlin Li in the Umulis Lab will lead a two part mini-workshop series during the EMBRIO weekly on September 11th and 18th for Solving Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) and Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) using Google Colab. The two-session workshop will primarily focus on introducing participants to basic numerical methods for solving Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) and Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) using Google Colab. During the first section, we will provide an overview of fundamental concepts related to ODEs and PDEs, followed by a practical demonstration of ODE solvers in Python, including a specific example involving the modeling of Ca2+ oscillations. In the second section of the workshop, we will focus on solving simple PDE models within a regular domain, using the finite difference method. The primary goal of this workshop is to facilitate the understanding of mathematical modeling techniques among entry-level students and those who may not have prior modeling experience. Hopefully, by the end of the workshop, participants will be equipped with the skills necessary to tackle basic mathematical modeling challenges using Python and Google Colab. Purdue BME/EMBRIO Seminar “Imaging Genetics: Dynamic Gene Control in Space and Time” by Dr. Bomyi Lim Dr. Bomyi Lim from the University of Pennsylvania will be on the Purdue campus on Wednesday 9/13, presenting a seminar 9:30 - 10:30 am. in BME Department, rm MJIS 1001. BME students should attend in person. Those further away or off-campus can join via Zoom<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue-edu.zoom.us%2Fj%2F5593290378%3Fpwd%3DeFBOZFlNTU50ZDA2S2gwcnpyOWIwUT09&data=05%7C01%7Cembrio-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7Cb5f298e7c03b43800e9608dbae39fd54%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638295337820893322%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=pqVxwKs3yswrPmN1EcGpcKtqdesU5iXKGSRJmY6YaQ4%3D&reserved=0>.
