Nottingham Psychology data club resources
Some materials for the lunchtime (?) data club, an informal weekly/fortnightly meeting at the University of Nottingham.
Bring people with varied backgrounds together to talk about, unpack, learn about quantitative methods for data
You can find notes, presentations, and code at the ng-data-club github repository.
You can also check out the github discussion forum for the data club. A good place to share ideas, links, etc.

We have a code of conduct that applies to our meetings, emails, MS Teams, github discussion forum and other interactions. Please have a look at it.
We will try to keep meetings informal with some guided discussion by presenters that will change week by week.
Structure will be around:
