Google Colab intro/resources

August 29, 2021

Here is a google colab notebook that runs you through the basics of using colab notebooks:
https://colab.research.google.com/notebooks/basic_features_overview.ipynb

This one is a comprehensive basic python tutorial. One can learn python without reading a book, or even installing python on your own system (good for someone who knows basic programming, but not python language).
https://colab.research.google.com/github/cs231n/cs231n.github.io/blob/master/python-colab.ipynb

Maybe the most impressive thing you can run on google colab now is the AlphaFold2 code, fold any protein for free.

Why Anti-Covid Plastic Barriers May Make Things Worse – The New York Times

August 29, 2021

QT:{{”
To understand why screens often have little effect on protecting people from aerosol particles, it helps to think about exhaled breath like a plume of cigarette smoke, Dr. Marr said.
“One way to think about plastic barriers is that they are good for blocking things like spitballs but ineffective for things like cigarette smoke,” Dr. Marr said. “The smoke simply drifts around them, so they will give the person on the other side a little more time before being exposed to the smoke. Meanwhile, people on the same side with the smoker will be exposed to more smoke, since the barriers trap it on that side until it has a chance to mix throughout the space.” “}}

Another useful fact connected to this thread is that secondhand cigarette smoke is a good indicator of aerosol behavior

Michael Levitt on Twitter: “Need advice on good Python books & courses. Learned FORTRAN from the IBM FORTRAN II manual in 1967; learned C from Kernighan & Ritchie in 1980; learned Perl from my postdocs @MarkGerstein & St even Brenner in 1995; learned Excel from @john_walkenbach in 2010. Thanks🙏” / Twitter

This is a great educational thread! I’ll bookmark it & keep in mind some of the suggestions for my bioinformatics class, which has now moved completely to python.
…
In particular, I’d 2nd the recommendation for this tutorial
(http://docs.python.org/tutorial), https://tutorialspoint.com/python (from @RolandDunbrack) & the O’Reilly books (from @vajkaat & @Ceaza10).
…
One additional thing: if you like Perl & Excel, you’ll love GAS (Google apps script, https://developers.google.com/apps-script), which provides a way to program with standard Javascript on top of Google sheets.
