NCBI Codeathons

NCBI Codeathons bring together researchers and coders from diverse backgrounds in order to collaborate and create tools and tutorials to solve complex biomedical research problems. They partner with other institutions and conferences to host these two to three-day events. They have also been able to pivot these events successfully into a virtual space.
