Bioinformatics I and II, Happiness wrap-up, Apache Spark, and Data Science

Come join us to work on either or both of these classes offered through coursera.org: Data Science and/or Bioinformatics. We're a diverse group, working at various paces and experience levels, and we'll meet to discuss and solidify what we've learned every two weeks.

Data Science Specialization (a series of 9 classes, each beginning around the start of each month):
