Dear colleagues,

 

We invite you to join the Open and reproducible analysis of light exposure and visual experience data online course—a free, live series for researchers analyzing wearable light and visual experience data in R with the open-source LightLogR package.

 

The series offers two tracks (Beginner and Advanced), each delivered as a two-part course via Zoom. To accommodate global time zones, every session will be offered twice on the same day.
