This topic is for discussion and questions regarding the January 2021 FAES QIIME 2 Workshop:

[ONLINE WORKSHOP] Microbiome Bioinformatics with QIIME 2 @ FAES, January 4-8 2021

Members of the QIIME 2 team, led by the Caporaso Lab at Northern Arizona University, will teach a five-day online workshop on bioinformatics tools for microbiome science. The workshop will include lectures covering QIIME 2 usage and theory, and interactive work with QIIME 2 to perform microbiome analysis from raw sequence data through publication-quality statistics and visualizations. This workshop will also feature several opportunities for attendees to network with other researchers in the fie…

I registered and paid for the workshop in October, but was unable to attend it due to personal matters. Can my registration and fees be rolled froward to the January workshop?
Thanks

Hi @rwwalker, I am sorry you weren’t able to attend the October 2020 workshop. Unfortunately we don’t have the ability to apply your prior registration fees - we aren’t the hosts of this January 2021 workshop, FAES@NIH is, so the payment system is out of our hands. They have several price points, you can see them at https://faes.org/events/BIOF089.jan2021

We are planning on publishing the YT videos from the October 2020 workshop in early 2021, so keep an eye open for that!

For the workshop, is there a preference for a Mac, Windows or Linux operating system?
What pre-requisite knowledge is required?

Hi @thermokarst, how will the tickets sale work for the January edition of the workshop? Will it be similar to the October one? Or will we be able to get them without caring about time zones?

I’m really hoping to secure myself a spot for this one

Regards

Hi @Saba_NTU!

@Saba_NTU

is there a preference for a Mac, Windows or Linux operating system?

No preference - attendees will not be installing QIIME 2 on their computers, instead, we will be using a network server to all work on.

@Saba_NTU

What pre-requisite knowledge is required?

This course aims to familiarize attendees with the basics of conducting a marker gene survey. Some CLI experience is helpful, but not required.

@NatC

how will the tickets sale work for the January edition of the workshop?

Please see BIOF 089 | Microbiome Bioinformatics with QIIME2 for more details. This workshop is hosted by the FAES@NIH - pricing, ticket sales, etc are established and run by FAES, not the QIIME 2 team. We have worked with FAES several times in the past and really enjoy putting on workshops with them.
