As part of our “Trainings” work package, the DKZ.2R plans to curate and provide a variety of trainings, seminars and courses. We will start by offering an official The Carpentries Workshop on the 17th and 18th of March on the topic of “plotting and programming in Python”. The Carpentries Workshop by DKZ.2R: Python basics and plotting The workshop will be hosted on-site at RWTH Aachen University and is open for up to 25 participants. The workshop material is available online and will be presented by official carpentry instructors who will walk you through the steps and are available for questions the whole time. The course is teaching the very basics of Python and although some experience with other scripting/programming languages is beneficial, no prior knowledge is required for the course. Furthermore, the event is open for participants from all domains. If you are interested in taking part in the workshop you can sign up here.

All workshop materials are available online on GitHub: Link to repository

Comments on Collaboration - My Experience with the DKZ.2R Rent-an-Expert Program

At the beginning of this year (2025), I received an email regarding the DKZ.2R “Rent an expert” program. I was very interested in this initiative and therefore applied for support from the scientific consulting team at the Rhine-Ruhr Center for Scientific Data Literacy (DKZ.2R) for assistance with my data analysis.

I obtained my master’s degree in Plant Nutrition from the China Agricultural University and pursued my PhD study at the University of Hohenheim. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Institute of Crop Science and Resource Conservation, Crop Functional Genomics, at the University of Bonn.
My research expertise includes plant culturing, molecule cloning, biochemical analysis and limited data analysis experience on large-scale NGS datasets.
Since the beginning of April 2025, two DKZ.2R consultants were assigned to me: Tarek Iraki, who is proficient in programming languages such as Python, and Lennard Maßmann, who specializes in working with R. Together, we collaboratively worked on my Postdoctoral project, which focuses on the molecular and genomic dissection of lateral root development in maize.
