Happy Friday everyone! Hope you’re all hanging in there and taking some time for yourselves.
This is a reminder to RSVP for next week’s meeting (5/11) at 7:00pm for a presentation on the importance of coding in the field of cognitive science and how to get started if you’re unfamiliar. We will cover topics including why you should learn python, how to access free courses to master the basics, and how to improve at your own pace. We will also go over what to do when you inevitably get stuck and finish off with a Q&A. We hope to see you there!
