Career and Professional Development Writing Retreat
We know that writing can be challenging for scientists, especially when you’re writing something non-scientific. But we also know there are certain things that every scientist needs to write at some point – like a personal bio, a cover letter or résumé, a conference proposal, or a teaching statement. Writing in community, rather than in isolation, can help make this process a little less painful – and maybe even a bit fun. Come for a single 45-minute writing “sprint,” or stay for the full retreat.

Reading Data from APIs with Python, JSON, and Web Services
In this workshop, we'll use Python to read data directly from Web APIs. This will also provide our first opportunity in this workshop series to start investigating real world data that may be relevant to your research or analysis. We will use the Internet Archive API to search the tobacco archives and other UCSF collections, and the National Library of Medicine's JSON based web service to investigate drug interactions.
