Computational Biology Affinity Group Activities

This group will attend minisymposiums in life sciences and protein folding covering a range of topics in computational biology. We will also attend a Git minitutorial that will provide useful information for any computational scientist! We will have an informal gathering after each activity for discussions and questions.
