Dear Colleagues, Seemingly every biological subfield now has an omics counterpart that examines not one piece of data but thousands or millions of data points – genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics – and each of these fields rely heavily on software, algorithms and programming skills in languages such as Python, R, and C++ (Poinsignon et al., 2023). As a team, we believe that coding is an essential skill that our undergraduate students need to develop as they prepare for their future. To that end, we have created a survey to learn of your perspectives, interests and experiences. If you would like to learn more about the purpose of our survey, please follow this link to a description of our survey<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AI46w3-h1RdSiRWJHjWl1lzLmrLycKHm4eZw1ZdJba0/edit?usp=sharing>. Please consider completing our survey<https://forms.gle/QFQjiPFnwwP58rHG9> by Friday, November 15, 2024. The survey has been assigned Exempt status by the Human Subjects Review Office at RIT with the following IRB Protocol # 01101024.
