Join our live online workshop: Introduction to Python for Biologists (IPYB01). If you’re a biologist or ecological researcher who wants to harness the power of programming and data science, this course will provide the foundation you need.
What you will learn
How to use Python for data manipulation, cleaning and analysis — ideal for biological datasets (e.g., species observations, genetic sequences, ecological surveys).
How to visualise biological data using graphical libraries in Python, enabling you to create clear and insightful figures for your research.
How to automate workflows, handle programmatic data pipelines, and write reproducible scripts — boosting efficiency, transparency and reproducibility in your work.
Hands-on sessions with annotated code and real-world biological examples so you can apply what you learn directly to your research field.
Who should attend
Biologists, ecological researchers, conservation scientists and postgraduate students who are comfortable with basic data-analysis but new to programming in Python.
Anyone working with biological, ecological or environmental data who wants to move beyond spreadsheets and learn coding approaches for data science workflows.
Researchers seeking to build reproducible workflows, reduce time spent on manual tasks and gain new analytical flexibility.
Format & logistics
Live online format — accessible from anywhere.
Sessions structured around interactive coding, instructor-led walkthroughs and self-paced exercises.
Designed for participants working in any biological or ecological discipline.
Why this course stands out
Tailored specifically for biologists rather than general programming audiences — examples and exercises are drawn from ecological and biological contexts.
Focuses on reproducible science and workflow automation — key for modern research environments.
You leave not just with knowledge, but with scripts and workflows you can adapt immediately in your own work.
