The ASA (Astronomical Society of Australia) Early Career Researcher Chapter Steering Committee organised a virtual "How To" series, answering some of the most pressing questions from our community.
The series was run as live streamed events each Wednesday starting in Feb 2022, and running through to mid March. The "How To" series website can be found here and a recording of the event can be found on YouTube.

This workshop uses python and gitlab examples to demonstrate good coding practices and collaborative code development strategies.
A four-part ML (machine learning) workshop consisting of a lecture on the history of ML and it's applications in astronomy research and three deep-dive sessions to apply ML techniques to astronomy data sets.
