Learn how to manage your data! The Polar Data Catalogue is hosting a FREE 3-hour data management workshop on Tuesday, October 27th at the University of Waterloo, Canada, in conjunction with APECS and the ArcticNet Students' Association. The workshop is geared specifically towards early career researchers and graduate students. Bring your own data if you have it, and learn hands-on lessons about: the principles of sound data management; how to access, use and contribute to free open-source databases; how to store your data for long-term preservation; open discussion about ethical data sharing practices. Participation in the workshop includes access to a pre-workshop social the night before, where participants will have the chance to network with each other and with internationally-recognized data managers and researchers in the polar sciences fields. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis and capped at 30 people. If interested, please contact Ashley Stasko (This email address is being protected from spambots.
