Not all the code as presented may still work, as R packages evolve over time, so some troubleshooting may be necessary on your end to replicate what they show.

+[Christopher Hall](https://uk.linkedin.com/in/christopher1hall) (currently at University of Edinburgh) created a series of YouTube videos on how to implement flow cytometry analysis in R. In the course of an hour, he provides an overview of many of the same topics we looked at over the first 8 weeks. I first encountered these videos late 2021/early 2022, and they were immensely helpful in getting started.

 # Ozette Technologies - BioC 2023 Workshop
 
-Workshop given at the Bioc2023 conference, authored by Arpan Neupane and Andrew McDavid. 
+During the [Bioc2023](https://bioc2023.bioconductor.org/) conference in Boston, Arpan Neupane and Andrew McDavid, who were working at [Ozette](https://ozette.com/) gave a workshop on how to use flowWorkspace and the other R packages that they maintain. I didn't make it to the workshop (misread the room number and ended up in an interesting parallel computing talk), but went through the material on the train ride back to Baltimore. In the process, I found out about the memory benefits of using "cytosets" and how to implement `openCyto` gates, which fast forward a few years has led to much of the general workflow showcased throughout the Cytometry in R course.

 # Bioinformatics DotCa - Introduction to Flow Cytometry in R
 
+One of the older Cytometry in R series on YouTube compromising a workshop series by [Ryan Brinkman](https://www.bccrc.ca/dept/tfl/people/ryan-brinkman)'s group. While I didn't encounter them until much later, they influenced many of the other video series you can see on this page. Some of the code is starting to show its age, as quite a few of the R packages have been superseeded (especially when it comes to gating and visualization), but still worthwhile watching.
