On: One in five genetics papers contains errors thanks...

One wonders if these scientists took a week to learn sufficient Python and pandas, how much better the world would be?

(Certainly possible, I teach "I don't want to be a programmer"-types all the time. Taught a class this week in fact.)

I work with this type of scientists, supporting them in an IT capacity. Many of them do try to learn Python, I've been quite impressed by it, but realistically Excel isn't going away any time soon regardless. Sometimes it's the right tool for the job.
