Love Data Week from ICPSR

 

 

 

 

Feb. 14-18, 2022 is Love Data Week 2022.  Data is for everyone! Wait,... data are for everyone? Either way, Love Data Week 2022 is about how different folks use data. Learn more at Love Data Week 2022 and join us on social media using #LoveData22.

Scholarly Communications Workshops

Do you teach with data? Faculty may request workshops for students in the Making Data Bearable Workshop Series:

During these hands-on workshops, participants explore challenges and best practices related to research data management. Working in groups, participants perform a rudimentary data analysis and create figures and tables capturing the correlation between Gummi Bear flavor and "springiness".

Contact Nikki Rech at: dcannonrech@georgiasouthern.edu or Jeff Mortimore at: jmortimore@georgiasouthern.edu to request workshops.
