The Baton Pass: preparing your data for the hand-off TWO PART SERIES

Part 1 April 21, 1 - 2 PM in person in Northwest Building 453

Part 2 April 28, 1 - 2 PM in person in Northwest Building 425

In this two part hands-on workshop, we will provide you with the tools and procedures to make your research data self-documenting, saving yourself and future colleagues the headache of retracing your steps. In the first session, we will go over a template for creating an onboarding document and an offboarding checklist that is specific to those of us who deal with biological data. In the second session, we will look at a real example use case for these documents and also provide one-on-one assistance with filling out your own. By the end of this workshop, students will be able to identify key institutional knowledge they need to pass on and will come away with a ready to use documentation workflow that works for them.
