Description:

Data exploration is an important initial step in any research project, where you might examine your data by creating many plots, select different regions in parameter space to investigate, and explore how different datasets relate to one another. The Glue visualization application (https://glueviz.org/) is an easy, but powerful, way to explore a variety of data types across multiple disciplines without any coding. In this workshop, I will provide an introduction to the basic functions of Glue through hands-on exercises.

Led by Aaron Geller, Senior Data Visualization Specialist at Research Computing and Data Services and Research Associate Professor at CIERA

Prerequisites: Prior to the workshop please install Glue on your own computer; instructions can be found on this workshop's GitHub repository : https://github.com/nuitrcs/IntroToGlue. On GitHub, I provide a handful of datasets, though I also encourage you to bring your own data to explore with Glue. No prior coding experience is needed.
