Details

Join us for an evening of Python/Data Science related talks discussion.

Afterwards we'll take a trip to the local pub for anyone that wants to come along.

Presentations

John Haidoulis - Effective Experimental Design and Data Analysis in Biosciences

This talk will provide an overview of the key stages involved in designing experiments, analysing and visualising biological data. We’ll dive into hands-on examples from plant science, including essential tools, programming languages & libraries, and statistical methods that are typically used. We will then briefly discuss the emerging integration of machine learning in the biological research pipeline

Giancarlo Erra (Altaire) - From Prompts to Production: what businesses ask about AI

Businesses are committed to AI adoption—with 78% of global companies now utilising AI—but the transition from "Prompts to Production" is currently stalled by organisational barriers, chiefly a lack of skills (50%) and a lack of vision among managers (43%). The technical imperative is therefore to drive pragmatic change by prioritising workforce upskilling (planned by 85% of employers) and the automation of processes (73%), focusing on empowering non-technical users from basic prompt engineering toward integrated, iterative solutions.
