Python for Life Scientists at the University of Bonn. This course is offered by the Molecular Plant Sciences group.
- Variable types
- Comments in Python
- Functions
- If / elif / else
- For and while loops
- File handling
- Importing modules
- Integration of Artificial Intelligence
Participants apply their newly acquired skills by working on an individual project in a life science context.
