Stakeholder Meeting #3
Should life scientists learn to program?
Join us at this Stakeholder Meeting where we wish to discuss whether life scientists using biodata analysis for their research need to learn how to program to quantitatively analyse their data.

Workshop topic
To program or not to program?
The Stakeholder Meetings are a series of afternoon meetings, where software producers, microscope facilities, and life scientists discuss common goals and needs.
At the previous meeting, we discussed digital platforms. In this meeting, we will explore the following questions:
- Can bioimage analysis tools successfully address the specificities of a wide range of applications (including data analysis) without requiring programming/scripting?
- How to keep up with the integration of the latest data analysis techniques.
- How are new developments in machine learning changing the game?
- Are tools such as Python notebooks the right answer to allow users to customise their analysis workflows and immerse non-experts into programming.
- For companies: Is your software the solution?
Please help other application developers give their end users the best experience by sharing your views and experiences.
Target audience
Who should participate in the Stakeholder Meeting?
We invite researchers, companies and facilities in the field of biodata analysis to share their experiences and views on how we can work together for better science and innovation in the field.
Please take our survey
During the meeting, a panel discussion will take place to voice the point of view of different actors in the field of image analysis. One topic will be on the perspective of the software user.
If you are a biodata analysis software user, or have been at some point in your career, and would like your experience to be voiced, please help us to fill the survey and help us to have a clearer picture of what is needed to serve the community better.

At our second Stakeholder Meeting in October, we identified a joint need for expliciting how a mutual knowledge-sharing community can be built around biodata analysis tools.
An important question arose: Do life science users need to learn to program?
”It needs a community effort to educate both sides in what is possible, what is easy/hard, and what is important. When programs have been made, then it again requires a community effort to learn and maintain solutions.” (participant in the second Stakeholder Meeting).
On this miroboard you will find our joint notes from the meeting.

Very few of my graduate students use Python or R, so when they do image analysis, I get them started with free software that allows them to make small macros on their own.

University of Copenhagen
I found that the medical doctors don’t want to touch the PC; they would rather have me program everything for them, whereas the physicists enjoy trying to understand how the program works.
