Collaborate and Grow: Open Source for Research Coders
https://events.library.ucdavis.edu/event/open-source-meetup-may-2025
Are you a researcher or student who writes scripts, handles data, or maintains specialized tools? Without realizing it, you might already be part of the open source community! This one-hour, in-person gathering, followed by an opportunity for networking, is designed specifically for scientists, researchers, and academics who code as part of their work but might not necessarily identify as "programmers."
Whether you're a biologist analyzing genomic data, a sociologist processing survey results, or a geologist mapping terrain features, this meetup will show you how your coding skills connect to the broader open source ecosystem. We'll explore how the tools you already use (and perhaps contribute to) fit into the open source landscape, and discuss simple ways to benefit from and participate in this collaborative community.
Join us for refreshments and conversation with others who, like you, use computation to advance their research. No technical expertise required—just bring your curiosity!

Savor: AI in Food Innovation
https://events.library.ucdavis.edu/event/savor-spring-2025
Join us for the final Savor event of the academic year: Savor: AI in Food Innovation — Digital AI Assistance in Food Product Development.
Every food product that you have enjoyed started with an idea and a recipe. But designing a product that consumers enjoy and bringing it to market can take a long time. Digital AI assistance is emerging as a tool for food product development that could reduce costs and time to bring new foods to grocery store shelves. Savor will bring together experts in the field to discuss the possibilities, limitations and the importance of including social and cultural perspectives in food innovation.
Speakers:
Carrie Alexander, postdoctoral scholar for Socioeconomics, Ethics, and Policy at the USDA-NIFA/NSF AI Institute for Next Generation Food Systems (AIFS), and a lecturer in Science and Technology Studies, UC DavisJustin Shimek, CEO and Chairman at Mattson & Co.Julian Delarue, associate professor in sensory and consumer science in the Department of Food Science and Technology, UC Davis
The event includes a welcome reception and a pop-up exhibit from our Archives and Special Collections department. Tickets are $25/person ($15/students).
Learn more and register: https://savor.ucdavis.edu/events/ai-food-innovation
The Savor Lecture series is a collaborative effort between the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science and the UC Davis Library.

Davis Python Users Group
https://events.library.ucdavis.edu/event/davis-python-users-group-spring-2025
The Davis Python Users Group (DPUG) is a friendly users group where community members, including DataLab staff, discuss their experiences, discoveries, and questions about using the Python programming language and about research computing in general.
Most DPUG meetings are informal “studio” sessions, which may begin with a short presentation (15-20 minutes) to prompt discussion. You’re encouraged to share your perspectives, bring your own questions, or just pull up a virtual seat and code along. Studio meetings are generally hybrid meetings (in-person and over Zoom) and do not require registration in advance. Zoom links for studio meetings are sent out to the mailing list a few days in advance.
See the our website for more details.

Python Basics: Introduction to Programming for Researchers
https://events.library.ucdavis.edu/event/python-basics-workshop-june-2025
Description
This workshop series provides an introduction to using the open source Python programming language for reproducible data analysis and scientific computing. The focus of this workshop is programming basics and working with tabular data. Along the way, we’ll learn a little bit about how to break down programming problems and organize our code and computational projects for clarity and reproducibility. This 3-day intensive workshop series is offered by DataLab and graduate students from the Davis Python User Group. As the material builds throughout the series, attendance at all three sessions is required.
After this workshop, learners will be able to load tabular data sets into Python, compute simple summaries and visualizations, do common data-tidying tasks, write reusable functions, and identify where to go to learn more.
Prerequisites
This training is designed to expose researchers with little to no computational background to the open source Python coding langauge. Familiar with command line is a bonus; at a minimum learners should be able to navigate their file system to locate downloaded files and software. Learners will need to bring their own laptop with wifi connection, and should be able to download and install software.
Schedule
Sessions start daily at 10am and will finish around 3pm. There will be a short break for lunch. (Because it is finals week food options on campus may be limited and we recommend you bring food.)
June 9: Environment Set Up /andData Structures and Data Types
June 10: Exploring Data: Aggregate Functions and Data Visualization
June 11: Organizing Code: For-Loops, Conditionals and Functions
The final session will also include opportunities for Q&A/co-working and code demos.

Introduction to Remote Computing and HPC (2-day workshop)
https://events.library.ucdavis.edu/event/intro-hpc-2025
Are you working on a research project but finding that your data is too big for your laptop, or that your code must run for a long time? You need more compute power!
This 2-day intensive workshop provides an introduction to accessing and computing on remote servers such as UC Davis’ HPC (high performance cluster) to elevate your research.
The series covers everything you need to know to get started. We’ll provide an overview of HPC terminology, architecture, and general workflows, and guide learners through how to set up and use SSH to log in and transfer files, how to install software with miniconda, how to reserve computing time and run programs with SLURM, and execute shell commands that are especially useful for working with servers. As we learn we’ll practice accessing and computing on remote servers using the UC Davis HPC Core Facility’s new “Hive” cluster.
The material builds and thus learners must attend both days. Sessions run from 10 AM - 4 PM each day, with a break for lunch.
After this workshop series, learners should be able to:
Use SSH to log in to a server;Transfer files to and from a server;Set up and use conda/mamba to install software on a server;Use SLURM to run interactive and non-interactive software on a server;Explain etiquette for using a server cluster such as Hive.
This workshop is subject to cancellation if minimum enrollment is not achieved.
PREREQUISITES
Participants must have taken DataLab’s “Introduction to the Unix Command Line” workshop, or have equivalent prior experience using command line. Participants must be comfortable with programming in a language such as R or Python, and with basic Linux shell syntax (i.e., able to navigate and create, modify and move files via command line).
Learners will register for a HPC account during the session. CAS authentication is required.
Can't make it to this training? Check out our workshop schedule. Materials from prior workshops are available on DataLab's website.
