Hi everyone A while back, a paper called “Null effects of boot camps and short-format training for PhD students in life sciences” <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5604013/> appeared in the *Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences* <http://www.pnas.org/>.
The paper sparked a lot of interest as it seemed to say that short workshops don't change anything. The Carpentries wanted to challenge the idea that bootcamps don't work. Accordingly, Karen Word and others have written a response to that paper which is here: http://www.datacarpentry.org/blog/reponse-to-null-effects/ Comments are welcome. regards Belinda Belinda Weaver Community Development Lead Software and Data Carpentry e: [email protected] | p: +61 408 841 882 | t: @cloudaus
