The chapter explores the increasing importance of coding skills, particularly Python, in academic labs and neuroscience research. It emphasizes the necessity of having software-proficient team members for quality and productivity in scientific research, highlighting the transition from MATLAB to Python in neuroscience labs. The conversation also delves into the benefits of learning Python for students beyond academia, showcasing its versatility and practical applications in professional settings.
Do you use Python in an academic setting? Maybe you run a research lab or teach courses using Python. Maybe you're even a student using Python. Whichever it is, you'll find a ton of great advice in this episode. I talk with Keiland Cooper about how he is using Python at his neuroscience lab at the University of California, Irvine.
