 # RF Coding Bootcamp 2024 
+
+## "Coding Bootcamp" Goals
+
+- To help you get comfortable working on *large* social science research projects
+    - Use too-big-for-your-laptop, often proprietary datasets, do computationally intensive analyses
+    - Tables, figures, and other results generated by thousands of lines of code spread across many files
+    - Complex enough to require collaboration between >2 people (including past selves)
+- To help you learn to use Stanford GSB’s substantial computing resources
+- This is not primarily about coding; we’re assuming you’ve done some programming, but talk to us if you haven’t!
+    - Programming languages you might have used include R, Python, Julia, MATLAB, and/or STATA
+- Nor is this a bootcamp; these sessions should be helpful to *you*, so let us know if they aren’t!
+
+## Who are we?
+
+### Brad Ross
+
+- A rising 5th year PhD student in Economics at the GSB
+    - Research in Urban Economics and Econometrics
+- From San Mateo, California, did my undergrad (Applied Math) and masters (Computer Science and Statistics) at Stanford
+- Decided to stick around even longer for a PhD
+- Outside of research and teaching, I love running, cooking/baking, making music, and watching tennis
+
+### Natalya Rapstine
+
+I'm a research computing specialist in the DARC team at the Research Hub at Stanford GSB. Prior to joining the DARC team in 2020, I worked in government and industry in high performance computing developing parallel scientific code and applications. My expertise is in high performance computing, parallel programming, scientific computing, machine learning, deep learning applications, and statistical methods in Python and R languages. I have a BS degree in earth science from Rice University and an MS degree in statistics from Colorado School of Mines.
+
+My favorite place on the planet is San Diego and my hobbies are video games (League of Legends mostly), music festivals, reading sci-fi, running and yoga (also taking care of my spunky 7-year old but that’s a full time job, not a hobby…)

+- Join <a href="https://circlerss.slack.com/archives/C01JXJ6U4E5" target="_blank">#gsb-yen-users Slack channel</a> where you can ask and answer GSB Yen related questions and share your Yen usage wisdom with the community - Yen users and the DARC team. We will also use this channel to announce Yen related workshops and poll users about the Yens to improve our services. In case the link does not work, open Slack application, search for <b>#gsb-yen-users</b> channel in Channels and join it.
