WORKSHOPS AND SEMINARS

The next Oklahoma Data Science Workshop is next Friday October 22 at noon via Zoom. This is the Zoom link:

Speaker: Dr. Blaine Mooers, OUHS

Title: A Science Writing Workflow in Org Mode

Abstract: Org Mode has a simple markup language that eases taking notes, building and rearranging lists, planning and authoring manuscripts, and organizing your knowledge and life via the "Getting Things Done" approach to time management.  You can access LaTeX plus many Org Mode features like the easy assembly and revision of tables in a very flexible and dynamic fashion.  The easy table assembly first attracted me to Org Mode. I will present my workflow in Org Mode when writing a research article.
