ACHEMS 2024 CODEFEST Great Egret The goal of the AChemS 2024 Codefest is for you to apply your data analysis skills, learn from others, get feedback, explore others' work, and connect with the larger AChemS community. This year's Codefest will focus on data from a new Olfaction Challenge. We will provide starter code, orient you to the available data, and provide a team of teachers as support for working in both R and Python. We welcome coders of all skill levels and from any chemosensory system!
