My experience

Overview

I worked with a post-doc in our lab to partially formulate ideas on how to statistically answer the biological question we wanted to address, but I was mostly implementing the post-doc's ideas in R. I spent most of the day coding in R, both writing my own scripts and modifying a previously released package for our needs. However, there were many other people in my program, GDSSP, and they had a wide range of experiences, tasks, and mentors. Everyone had unique roles, but in general I think people were very happy with the program.
