Ever wanted to unlock the power of new and emerging forms of nutrition or physical activity data but do not have the programming skills? This workshop is a complete beginners guide to python programming using nutrition and activity data. With jargon-busting along the way, we will walk you through data types, packages, data cleaning, data exploration and visualisation. Taking a practical approach, we get you starting to code, with short explanations followed by practical exercises to work through, all using familiar data. This workshop is led by a team of nutrition and physical activity researchers who have developed their own programming skills to utilise new forms of data including retailer loyalty card data, fitness app data, social media data and online restaurant reviews. The workshop leaders are all passionate about improving data science skills in the research community to further the use of these novel data to understand health behaviours.
