This talk will provide an overview of SSDS services to support your computational research needs. We help you get onboarded to research data collections and essential tools such as R and Python in the context of basic research workflows. We also offer one-to-one consultation support for when you get stuck. We will also discuss the Text Analysis and Machine Learning group, which is an informal space for you to familiarize yourself with these topics. Learn more at https://ssds.stanford.edu/.
