DataCamp Resources

Access to DataCamp courses

By the courtesy DataCamp, all BDSI students will have access to the premium contents of DataCamp courses during BDSI 2017. These courses will encourage students to self-teach the skillsets they needs for the project, and catch up the computational sessions they may have missed during the lectures. If you do not have the access to the datacamp, please contact the BDSI staff.
