Workshop 3: Python

Python This workshop will serve as an introduction to Python. The workshop breaks into two sections: a brief overview of Python as a programming language (with quick examples and explanations of common functionality), and a problem-based workshop where students will create a python script to perform protein synthesis in silico. The introduction should be performed before the in-person workshop. The workshop should be done in pairs, with both students alternating who “drives”.
