Digital literacy is as important as reading, writing and arithmetic. In academia, skills training to match the tools and technology is still leagues behind where it should be.

Its volunteers have run over 90 intensive two-day boot camps at dozens of sites around the world in the last 18 months for over 2500 scientists, and the site provides open access material online for self-paced instruction.
