<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Juan,</div><br><div>Also, make sure you don't stay at the basics of the Python language but look into data science related books such as Python for Data Analysis or similar. Get familiar with numpy, scipy and perhaps scikit-learn too. These can be very helpful in your future endeavors.</div><div><br></div><div>And of course if want to get into computational anatomy areas we are here to help.</div><div><br></div><div>All the best,</div><div>Eleftherios </div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Nov 13, 2017 at 8:03 PM Ariel Rokem <<a href="mailto:arokem@gmail.com" target="_blank">arokem@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra">Hello Juan, </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Brainhack is a good direction! <br><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"></div></div></div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 13, 2017 at 4:00 AM, Kirstie Whitaker <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kw401@cam.ac.uk" target="_blank">kw401@cam.ac.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Hi Juan,<br><br></div>I think your best bet is to join the Brainhack slack group: <a href="https://brainhack-slack-invite.herokuapp.com" target="_blank">https://brainhack-slack-invite.herokuapp.com</a>.<br><br></div>You can find out more about Brainhack here: <a href="http://www.brainhack.org/" target="_blank">http://www.brainhack.org/</a> but in brief we're a community of neuroimagers who want to improve the state of the science by building new open tools that can be used and improved by others :)<br><br></div>The different channels in the slack team are different projects, many of which are written in python.
