Self Assessment 3
Concise Overview of Things Learned
- Technical Area: New R packages (for example: limma), object manipulation in R, data annotation
- Tools: More RStudio experience, Asana
- Soft Skills: Presentation skills, leading team building (happy hour), working in a team of new people
Three Achievement Highlights
- Object manipulation in R: Sometimes functions don’t work with specific object formats, I have learned how to deal with that
- Better understood the volcano plots and how to set thresholds
- Successful organization of Happy Hour
List of Meetings/ Training Attended Including Social Team Events
- Team meetings
- Technical webinars (R training, Bioinformatics Overview)
- Organized and led Happy Hour
Tasks Completed
I completed all steps of the Week 4 assignment using the Troubleshooting Forum and Bioconductor package documentation to help solve issues. I had an issue with the functions not being compatible with my objects, but I learned how to sort it out. I played around with volcano plots a lot to better understand them.
Goals For The Upcoming Week
I am focusing mainly on learning R at this point so that I can fully understand each step and what it does in the overall project. I plan to catch up on Github and Python soon.
