February 15th at 11 AM CST Data Management With Pokemon Workshop 

Research data management education provides guidance on how researchers can effectively manage their data to increase the scholarly impact from their research, comply with funder mandates, and take control of their research data. Did you know that Pokemon, a media franchise from Japan that features video games, movies, anime, manga, toys, and other creations, is a great way to learn data management? In this workshop, we will learn data management principles of file naming, metadata, and documentation through a lens of hands-on activities involving Pokémon.
