Hey Computer Scientists!
I’m currently interested about the intersection of computer science and biology, specifically in the realms of environmental biology, zoology, and entomology. I have a background in these areas, fyi.
I’m reaching out to you to see if anyone can recommend some great courses (possibly beginner friendly) that delve into the application of computer science in these fields. Whether it’s data analysis, modeling, or bioinformatics, I would like to learn how and what computational tools can be utilized in these fields of biology.
If you’ve taken a course that covers these topics, or if you’ve heard of reputable institutions or online platforms offering such courses, please share your insights! I think that personal experiences and recommendations hold so much value.
Also, if you have any advice on some great books about computer science and biology (that maybe helped you to learn to work in this field), I’d love to hear about it.
Looking forward to your suggestions!
