A personal blog or website gives you a permanent home for your research profile – it can be a great way to share your portfolio, publicize your research, and share your knowledge with the world.
In this workshop we’ll give an overview of how to set up a website using free tools like Pelican or blogdown, which give you complete control of your content. We’ll discuss all the steps from creating your site, to hosting it, to making sure your content is shareable and searchable.
Part of our "Masterclass" series of short, accessible overviews of topics from data science and programming.

Bioinformatics is a vital component of biological and medical research, supporting data-driven discoveries, genomic medicine, and the development of innovative therapeutics. As the life sciences becomes increasingly data-driven, ‘doing’ bioinformatics to extract, process, analyse, and interpret this data has become an essential skill for molecular life scientists.
In this masterclass, we delve into the vast world of bioinformatics, illuminating key concepts and experimental design considerations. We explore common experimental applications and essential but easy to overlook practical considerations like how to access the database, software, and computing resources you need.

How to stay safe in a connected world.
The internet has become an integral part of our daily lives. We rely on being connected for countless tasks, from managing our finances to social networking. However, as recent data breaches at Optus and Medibank have highlighted, this doesn’t come without risks. How can we keep our data safe?
In this Masterclass, we explore various aspects of internet security, diving into how such data breaches happen in the first place, and what you can do to best protect yourself.
