A workshop

About the workshop

Best practices in any field can be hard to implement, especially for people early in their career. And data management is often learned through trial and error. So what data management practices are both useful and “good enough” (Wilson et al., 2017) to have an impact on your work? What are the first steps you can take to make your data more FAIR (Wilkinson et al., 2016)? How can these practices improve your data lifecycle and/or pipeline (e.g., data use and re-use within and between labs)?

This workshop will provide a set of practices that can make data management and data sharing easier taught by local experts who have helped many researchers with related challenges.

Alaina Pearce, Briana Wham, and Ana Enriquez will lead the workshop.
