CarpentryCon @ Home Session Topics

There have been a lot of posts recently about CarpentryCon @ Home, but we wanted to offer one more to help people navigate the event. There are so many sessions offered, it might be hard to know where to start! The post organises the sessions by theme, so you can find sessions related to your interests.
