Before coming

In order for the workshop to run smoothly for you we invite you to come prepared.

We do not provide computers so have a laptop powerful enough to run your analysis.
Have SPAM installed on your laptop (see documentation here).
Have your data available on your laptop or on a hard drive (don't rely on the internet to download it).
Prepare a two slides presentation about your research and the analysis you want to conduct (2 minutes max).
