Data Science MOOC from John Hopkins (starring Steven Salzberg)

Simply Statistics blog posted the teaser trailer about a new MOOC that the readers may find interesting.

We have been hard at work in the studio putting together our next specialization to launch on Coursera. It will be called the “Genomic Data Science Specialization” and includes a spectacular line up of instructors: Steven Salzberg, Ela Pertea, James Taylor, Liliana Florea, Kasper Hansen, and me. The specialization will cover command line tools, statistics, Galaxy, Bioconductor, and Python. There will be a capstone course at the end of the sequence featuring an in-depth genomic analysis. If you are a grad student, postdoc, or principal investigator in a group that does genomics this specialization is for you. If you are a person looking to transition into one of the hottest areas of research with the new precision medicine initiative this is for you. Get pumped and share the teaser-trailer with your friends!
