Jupyter
Project Jupyter is a community of open-source developers, scientists, educators, and data scientists. Its goal is to build open-source tools and create a community that facilitates scientific research, reproducible and open workflows, education, computational narratives, and data analytics. Jupyter supports over 100 programming languages, and connects data analytics tools across a range of disciplines and communities.
There are several core projects of Jupyter that the Berkeley Institute for Data Science supports:
scikit-image
Scikit-image is a community-driven Python project, consisting of a vast collection of high-quality, peer-reviewed image processing algorithms that are made available to a global community of researchers free of charge and free of restriction. The library is widely used in many different fields, including astronomy, biomedical imaging, and environmental resource management. Scikit-image was founded by BIDS Research Data Scientist Stéfan van der Walt in 2009.
Software Carpentry
Software Carpentry is a volunteer organization whose goal is to make scientists more productive and their work more reliable by teaching them basic computing skills.
FAIR Island Project
Lighting the Way to Prevent California Wildfires
Ocean Dynamics
iSamples: Internet of Samples
Sampling Nature: A Network to Enhance the Natural History Value Chain for Sustainability Science
Understanding physical processes and making environmental predictions using LSTM Neural Networks
BIDS Senior Fellow Lauel Larsen and ESDL Project Scientist Dino Bellugi are offering this project (#4) through UC Berkeley's Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program (URAP) for the Fall 2021 academic semester. Eligible undergraduates may apply online January 18-24, 2022.
