SUMMARY:Best Practices for Managing Data in your Research
DESCRIPTION:October 1 2025 \n\n\n\nTIFU (Today I F’ed Up) by losing a ton of data for my research – Have you ever seen a description like this on Reddit? Are your desktop and downloads folders a jumble of files named Data-finalFINAL-USETHISONE? Is all of your lab’s data stored on a single drive located conveniently under a sprinkler system? Join research data management services and learn how investing a small amount of time in organizing your data now can save you a lot of time and prevent future headaches. In this introductory workshop\, learn about research data management best practices. We will go over best practices for data planning\, storage\, organization\, preservation\, and sharing. \n\n\n\nBy the end of the session\, participants will be empowered to: \n\n\n\n\nProduce a plan for their data\n\n\n\nOrganize and document their data consistently\n\n\n\nStore and back-up their data securely\n\n\n\nSelect an appropriate data repository for archival and sharing\n\n\n\n\nNo prior experience with data management is required! This session is perfect for anyone who wants to feel more confident organizing\, storing\, and sharing their data in clear and practical ways. \n\n\n\nDetails: Any preparatory work for the session can be found on its information page. This virtual workshop will be recorded. The recording will be posted to the Sherman Centre’s Online Learning Catalogue. \n\n\n\nFacilitator Bio:  \n\n\n\nIsaac Pratt (he/him) is a research scientist by training and has a PhD in Anatomy & Cell Biology. He leverages nearly a decade of interdisciplinary research experience to help support students\, staff\, and faculty. His expertise lies in questions surrounding data storage\, security\, planning\, archival\, and sharing. Isaac also provides support and curation services for McMaster Dataverse. His other interests include reproducible research methods\, open science\, and data science. \n\n\n\nDanica Evering holds expansive experience with research support\, education\, project management\, advocacy\, and knowledge translation; with fluency in social practice art\, healthcare\, community research\, data\, and systems development. Danica supports students\, postdocs\, faculty\, and staff with RDM through the data lifecycle—Data Management Plans\, storage and backup\, data security\, data sharing. With an MA in Media Studies from Concordia\, they are interested in fostering RDM within curious scholars and disciplines. \n\n\n\nCertificate Eligibility: This workshop is eligible for the Sherman Centre’s certificate program. For more information\, visit scds.ca/certificate-program. It is also eligible for the Canadian Certificate for Digital Humanities. To learn more\, visit ccdhhn.ca or contact scds@mcmaster.ca. \n\n\n\nCredit Eligibility: This workshop counts toward credit for students in the Faculty of Science who are enrolled in SCIENCE 2SF1: Digital Skills Workshop.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Git and GitHub:    Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 1 2025 \n\n\n\nInstructor: Kendra Oudyk \n\n\n\nLearn the basics of using Git and GitHub for version control and collaboration. Git is widely used version control software that tracks changes to a group of files\, referred to as a repository. GitHub is a popular website for hosting and sharing Git repositories\, making it easier to collaborate and share your work. Together\, Git and GitHub provide a platform that is increasingly used for collaboration in research and academic environments. In this beginner workshop participants will learn key concepts\, create their own Git repository\, and publish to GitHub. No previous experience with Git is required. Familiarity with the command line interface will be helpful but is not necessary. This is part 1 of a two-part introductory workshop. \n\n\n\nPre-workshop setup \n\n\n\nPlease complete the pre-workshop setup to install the Bash shell and Git. If you don’t already have one\, create a free GitHub account before the workshop.  \n\n\n\nThis workshop is part of the Core Skills series.
