Hello @NaSed

We have booked the room from 3 to 4:30. Participants usually arrive about 5 minutes before to settle in. We can also ask people to setup in advance to make the most out of the booked time. If you are concerned about people not setting up prior to the workshop, one approach would be to set the first 15 minutes to ensure everyone is on the same page.

We are currently adding descriptions and submitting to Research Commons so that the SFU community is aware of your workshop. If possible, please submit:

A short description of what the workshop entails - one or two sentences summarizing your workshop is fine, Prerequisites, i.e. a laptop with R (3.5.1) and Rstudio pre-installed along with packages: Bioconductor, Tidyverse, etc. before September 17 to add to the Research Commons description. You can add this information on the comments and I will add it in the description.
