Specialty training sessions for research groups can be organised by emailing the RCC Support Desk: rcc-support@uq.edu.au
Regular training sessions
Dates & time: Monthly, subject to demand. Date and time to be confirmed each month- however generally the last Friday morning of each month unless public holidays intervene (watch this space).
Short description: The aim of this short course is to build core competencies in HPC such as command line proficiency, getting data on and off HPC, using software packages, submitting batch jobs and data archiving. The course is very hands-on with brief labs to demonstrate the principles and run examples. All new users of the RCC HPC facilities are encouraged to attend. One-on-one training is also available on request.
Presenter: RCC's David Green, Edan Scriven or Michael Mallon.
Training material: Currently being updated.
Location: Room R505A, level 5, Axon Building, Building 47, St Lucia Campus, UQ, QLD 4067

On-demand training
Title: Introduction to Galaxy
Dates & time: By arrangement with Dr Igor Makunin
Short description: We cover different topics of nextGen sequencing data analysis using Galaxy platform, such as RNA-Seq, Variant identification / resequencing, ChIP-Seq, microbial genome assembly, or general data manipulation, including creation and use of workflows in Galaxy. Workflows can be developed on request from users.
Presenter: Dr Igor Makunin, RCC UQ

Tips for using Zoom for Meetups and Training
A critical component of any video conference is the audio.
To avoid problems for all participants, please ensure that you
- use a headset (earbuds, or something more substantial), or an echo cancelling speaker/microphone device, and that you
- ensure that Zoom is configured to use that audio device for both microphone and speaker functions,
- if you are in a noisy environment keep your microphone muted except when you speak. Zoom has a hot key combination for mute/unmute.
Whether working from home, or at work,
- be conscious of visual distractions in the background (eg. colleagues, family members or pets walking past)
- try to avoid having strong lighting behind you which makes you a silhouette (eg. overhead lights, unshaded windows)
- often the glow from your laptop screen or monitor is sufficient front illumination
- if your network bandwidth is constrained, consider stopping your video and sending a still photo instead.
