Mendelian Randomization Course, November 2024Info Location Contact More Info Event Information
DescriptionThe course comprises four half-days’ worth of content plus the final hackathon, and will take place over 3 weeks (plus a preliminary week 0). It consists of some on-demand pre-recorded content and some timetabled (live) content. The first day of Week 1 will be Monday 4th November 2024. All the core content of the course is pre-recorded - live sessions are not compulsory to attend, but are supplementary to the core content. They represent a chance to engage with the course tutors. Several of the live sessions will be recorded. Each half-day can be done whenever is convenient. A half-day of content includes three pre-recorded talks (around 20-30 minutes each) and one practical session (around 1-1.5 hour). Each of the three computer practicals should be performed individually, but there is an associated live drop-in session to come and ask questions. There is also a recorded debrief session that runs through the practical content. In terms of live content, in addition to the practical drop-in sessions, paper discussion, and hackathon, there is also a question and answer session each week to ask your questions. Questions can be asked during the week on a dedicated Slack channel, or you can ask questions live (Q+A sessions will be recorded). University of Cambridge Students and Staff, whose department will be covering the participation cost, please raise a Purchase Order (or contact a member of your department who can assist with this) and send a PDF of the Purchase Order to [email protected] . You will then be sent the passcode which you will need to use along with the Purchase Order number to complete registration below, selecting the 'UoC Student/Staff Registration' option.
