SUMMARY:Creating Compelling Research Impact Visualizations
DESCRIPTION:Date: November 19 2025 \n\n\n\nThe ability to create effective visualizations of your research impact is a valuable skill when competing for grants\, awards\, and attention in a crowded research landscape. In this hands-on workshop\, participants will create simple\, eye-catching graphics to communicate impact from a variety of perspectives (from citation rates to collaboration networks to media attention). \n\n\n\nParticipants will learn how to: \n\n\n\n\nGenerate ready-made impact visualizations within a variety of bibliometric tools at McMaster.\n\n\n\nUtilize raw bibliometric data and custom templactes to create effective visualizations using Excel. – Effectively incorporate research impact visualizations into reports\, grant applications\, and award nominations.\n\n\n\n\nThis session is ideal for researchers\, librarians\, and graduate students interested in research metrics\, scholarly communications\, or mapping academic influence. No previous experience with data visualization is necessary. \n\n\n\nDetails: Any preparatory work for the session can be found on its information page. This workshop will not be recorded. \n\n\n\nFacilitator Bio: Jack Young (he/him) is McMaster’s Research Impact Librarian\, supporting the use of bibliometric data to enhance the reporting and strategic planning practices of the University’s academic departments\, institutes\, and researchers. \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. For any questions\, please contact oursci@mcmaster.ca.

SUMMARY:Data Management Plan Bootcamp (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Date: November 19 2025 \n\n\n\nOur popular DMP Bootcamp is back\, reformatted into a hands-on online intensive for remote researchers on the go! Data Management Plans (DMPs) are both incredibly helpful research tools and increasingly required for grants but it can hard to know how to complete a Data Management Plan if it’s your first time. This session is carefully timed for researchers completing a CFI or Tri-Agency grant. If you’re in the process of creating a DMP\, either for a grant application or for your own research\, join RDM Services for this afternoon session. The RDM Services team will provide tailored guidance as you write your plan online–we’ll pop into your breakout rooms to make sure everything is going smoothy. Come away with a clear path forward or even a finished DMP! \n\n\n\nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify the 5 key components of a data management plan (DMP).\n\n\n\nCompare strong and weak responses in each section of a DMP.\n\n\n\nDevelop a tailored outline\, or potentially a complete draft\, of their own DMP!\n\n\n\n\nThis participatory session is especially relevant for researchers at all levels in the beginning stages of a research project or streamlining best practices for their research team. Come on your own\, send your research staff\, or bring your whole research group. Let us know if you’re joining as a research team – we’ll make sure you get an online breakout room to work together in! Bring your own snacks to your desk and enjoy this dedicated time to work on your plan with extra support. \n\n\n\nDetails: Any preparatory work for the session can be found on its information page. This workshop will not be recorded. \n\n\n\nFacilitator Bio: Danica Evering (they/them) is a Research Data Management Specialist grounded in curiosity and a deep commitment to ethics. Danica is available to help 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\, Danica fosters active interest in RDM across disciplines\, with a knack for engaging researchers who might not even realize they have data to manage. Outside of work they sing in a choir\, play PC games\, maintain an art writing practice\, grow a garden\, contribute Wikipedia articles\, and run. \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 Python: Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Date: November 19th 2025 \n\n\n\nInstructor: Kendra Oudyk \n\n\n\nThis set of five workshops is an introduction to Python programming\, with a focus on skills that are relevant to students and researchers who are working with data\, particularly tabular data. \n\n\n\nThe five workshops cover the following: \n\n\n\n\nPart 1: To understand the basics of Python syntax\, variables\, and data types.\n\n\n\nPart 2: To learn how to work with tabular data in Python\, including reading\, manipulating\, and visualizing data.\n\n\n\nPart 3: To learn how to automate tasks in Python\, including working with multiple files.\n\n\n\nPart 4: To learn to use logic and modularity to make Python code flexible and reusable.\n\n\n\nPart 5: To develop good habits for programming for research in Python\, including handling errors\, debugging\, and writing reliable code.\n\n\n\n\nParticipants must sign up for each workshop individually. It is not necessary to sign up for the first workshop in order to do the second (and so on)\, but note that each workshop will build on the topics covered in previous workshops in this series. \n\n\n\nPrerequisites:\n\n\n\nThere are no prerequisites needed for this series; no prior programming experience is required. \n\n\n\nSetup Instructions:\n\n\n\nIn these workshops\, we will write Python code in a text editor called Visual Studio Code (VS Code). \n\n\n\nPlease follow the following steps/links to complete the setup for this workshop series before you attend: \n\n\n\n\nInstall a Python Interpreter\n\n\n\nInstall Visual Studio Code\n\n\n\nInstall the Python extension for VS Code. If you want more info on installing extensions for VS Code\, see this page on their “Extension Marketplace”\n\n\n\nInstall this Python Debugger extension for VS Code\n\n\n\n\nNOTE: You may use your own preferred text editor or Jupyter Notebooks to write code in these workshops\, but keep in mind that some aspects may be unpredictably different from the way things appear on the instructor’s screen. For example\, the instructor will frequently use the Python Debugger in VS Code\, and other text editors may have entirely different mechanisms for debugging\, and you may have to figure that out on your own. If you want to follow what the instructor is doing exactly\, you should install VS Code and the extensions listed above.
