Due to the large number of certificate requests, we are extending the deadline to request certificates to the end of the week (November 3rd). You can find the forms to request certificates here : - Introduction <https://forms.gle/ZCaNhyG1rVvX82YYA> - Proteomics <https://forms.gle/dCHKHd7Z2BTHepuNA> - Assembly <https://forms.gle/ujF3RQkf97drmaVz7> - Transcriptomics <https://forms.gle/mTD5guyDNMQiMHKX7> - Single Cell <https://forms.gle/F5snkMpYLhL5Vjdr7> - Microbiome <https://forms.gle/86sYxRZpRvHupjJZ8> - Bacterial genomics <https://forms.gle/ictVeA1VhePatepc9> - BY-COVID <https://forms.gle/7pNZZu1y4AEE5bzw6> - Machine Learning <https://forms.gle/jybGg58SLhyXtuwW9> *What to do if you haven't received your certificate ? * - Check your Spam folder - Check that you provided the right email in the request form - Verify your score : We request a minimum score to generate a certificate. Depending on the track, we ask for 2 or 3 tutorials with correct answers. This corresponds to 4 or 6 points. You can try as many times as you need. The answers are linked to the tutorials. If you still haven't received your certificate, ask us on slack or by email at academy(a)galaxyproject.org. Best regards, Delphine and the Organizing team. --- Delphine Larivière, Ph.D. Nekrutenko Lab, Galaxy Team The Pennsylvania State University
