[Updated June 13, 2019]
Our two-day conference and workshop held at UC Berkeley, June 14-15, on the new UC Berkeley Social Networks Study (UCNets), was a smashing success.
The first day was a conference with presentations followed by a discussion, with ample time for networking. The second day consists of a detailed explanation to the UCNets data structure and documentation, followed by hands-on exercises in statistical methodologies to exploit the data. The program can be viewed below.
If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Leora Lawton, UCNets director, llawton@berkeley.edu.
