There are definitely enough of these "neural network in X lines of code" videos that they count as a genre, but this is a pretty nice example: buff.ly/3d8ZlI7 Out of curiosity, would anyone be interested in a few introductory articles on machine learning in biology?

Distribution of a finished Python program is one of the parts of the ecosystem that's still a bit of a barrier for beginners. Here's a project that aims to make it easier: buff.ly/3w0BDX4 might be worth a look next time you need to share a tool with dependencies.

If you don't want to leave the command line even for a minute, this might be a useful addition: buff.ly/39vZOU9 colorpedia lets you look up colours and palettes.

Not biology, but a nice example of a set of data analysis problems of increasing difficulty on a real life dataset. Complete with solutions! buff.ly/391W2RM
