 ing Programming and Code for Research series for anyone who wants to get s
 tarted or learn more about use programming languages like Python\, R\, or 
 other applications. These tools can help you to collect\, manipulate\, cle
 an\, analyze\, and visualize research data or automate many repetitive tas
 ks. If you need personalized assistance with a data analysis\, programming
 \, or coding project\, consider booking a consultation with one of our lib
 rarian-experts. Learn more about our services for programming and coding a
 nd for working with data.\n\nThis workshop is part of the Tools for Data A
 nalysis series for those looking to deepen their understanding of how to i
 nteract with data and more effectively and creatively communicate their re
 search findings to wide audience. If you need personalized assistance with
  a data analysis\, programming\, or a coding project\, consider booking a 
 consultation with one of our librarian-experts. Learn more about our servi
 ces to support programming and coding and for working with data.\n\nThis w
 orkshop is part of the Open Source Solutions series for GW community membe
 rs looking to use open source tools like Python\, R\, and QGIS for data co
 llection\, analysis\, and visualization. To learn more about open source t
 ools\, open science\, or open scholarship at GW\, visit the Open Source Pr
 ogram Office’s website.\n\nAll sessions are free to GW students\, facult
