Registration will be first-come-first-served, but priority will be given
to members of the sponsoring labs and institutions. We’ll try to
accommodate everyone, but the earlier you register the better!
We’ll send more detailed information to all registered people closer to
the workshop. You can bring your own laptop with R installed
(instructions how to do this and which packages you will need will be
sent out before the workshop).
