Description: Managing your data before you begin your research and throughout its life cycle is essential to ensure its current usability and long-run preservation and access. In this workshop, we will review best practices for naming, organizing, storing, depositing your research data, and creating a Data Management Plan (DMP). We will also be taking a deep dive into how to use DMPTool to make writing and managing your DMPs easier than ever.

Instructor(s): Allie Tatarian (they/them) is a data librarian, liaison for the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and former biomedical researcher. Their experience as a researcher sparked an interest in scientific communication, particularly in the ways scientists communicate with each other (and their future selves). Contact them for help with search strategies, data management, or finding molecular biology tools.
