Our Mission
SORTEE Code Club runs free, community-led coding sessions for researchers in ecology and evolutionary biology. We aim to:
- Lower the barrier to reproducible research practices
- Build community across institutions and career stages
- Share knowledge openly — all materials are CC-licensed
- Support SORTEE’s mission of more open, reliable, transparent research
How Sessions Work
We meet online every third Tuesday of the month. We host two types of sessions:
- Training Sessions: Learn new coding skills, packages, models, and tools that support open science.
- Hacky Hours: Casual peer-to-peer sessions for code review, troubleshooting, and sharing tips and tricks.

Sessions are informal and collaborative. There’s no such thing as a silly question. The presenter shares their screen, you follow along, and we all learn together.
