      <description>&lt;p&gt;I am taking &lt;a href="https://github.com/OSDC-Code-Maven/osdc-2023-01-public" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Open Source Development Course&lt;/a&gt; given by &lt;a href="https://github.com/szabgab" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Gabor Szabo&lt;/a&gt; in order to gain a better understanding of this field.&lt;br&gt;
In the second session we learned about &lt;a href="https://pages.github.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;github pages&lt;/a&gt; which is an easy way for building a website. Anyone can do it, even if they don't have programming experience. &lt;strong&gt;All you need is a github account!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Here are the two websites that I'm currently working on (still under construction):&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://cohenoa.github.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://cohenoa.github.io/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://cohenoa-lab.github.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://cohenoa-lab.github.io/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Note that you can you an existing design theme, here are &lt;a href="https://pages.github.com/themes/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;some examples&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Joining the Open Source Development Course</title>
      <dc:creator>Noa Cohen</dc:creator>

      <guid>https://dev.to/cohenoa/joining-the-open-source-development-course-298k</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I recently got to know &lt;a href="https://github.com/szabgab" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Gabor Szabo&lt;/a&gt; through a shared colleague. Luckily, he invited me to join his &lt;a href="https://github.com/OSDC-Code-Maven/osdc-2023-01-public" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Open Source Development Course&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am currently researcher and lecturer at the Azrieli College of Engineering, teaching several courses including "introduction to computer science", "introduction to data science" and "computational biology".&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'd love to contribute to the open source community so I am excited to take this course. As a computational biology researcher and a Python developer I often use open-source python packages, as well as develop such packages for biology and bioinformatics researches (published in my &lt;a href="https://github.com/cohenoa" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;github account&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Python is the main programming language I use nowadays. In particular &lt;a href="https://numpy.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;numpy&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://pandas.pydata.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;pandas&lt;/a&gt; are of course extremely useful. I also use &lt;a href="https://biopython.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;biopython&lt;/a&gt; package - a collection of software tools for biological computation written in Python by an international group of researchers and developers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;During the course I would like to continue working on a specific open-source package that I develop as part of my research. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;P.S. My avatar is an origami model that I folded may years ago, using the instructions by &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbXG4XugaYM&amp;amp;ab_channel=OrigamiwithJoNakashima" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Jo Nakashima&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
