UW Data Science Poster and Networking Session - Register now!

Are you engaged in research or teaching involving data-intensive discovery — either advancing the methodologies, or putting these methodologies to work in any field of discovery?  Does your work require extracting knowledge from large, noisy, or complex datasets? Do you use advanced statistical techniques, advanced data management platforms, or advanced visualization methods in your work? Are you involved in inventing these advanced methods? If so, please register to present your work in this poster session!

This two-hour event is an opportunity for the University of Washington campus community and regional partners to present their activities and connect with others engaged in data-intensive discovery.

Date: Feb 10, 2016 | 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Location: Mary Gates Commons

Refreshments will be provided for all attendees … the costs of poster production will be covered … easels will be provided … how can you say no?

This is an incomparable opportunity to network with others who are advancing the forefront of data-intensive discovery.

• Posters must be roughly 32″ x 40″
• Posters must be mounted on posterboard or foamcore (easels will be provided for displaying them – they will not be tacked to the wall)
• You must be present at the poster session (although you’re encouraged to bring someone along so you can simultaneously staff your poster and network with others)
• You must register by Wednesday February 3

Various off-campus printshops (e.g., FedEx) can assist, as well as UW Creative Communications, UW Posters (in the Health Sciences), and (for their members) many major departments. Save your receipts – we’ll reimburse your expenses up to $100!

Please register here by Wednesday February 3rd to present a poster!
We’ll see you on February 10 at 3:00pm (setup beginning at 1:00pm) in the Mary Gates Commons!

Just in time for Valentine's Day: Love Your Data Week!

The University of Washington Libraries will be participating in Love Your Data week, a nationwide event designed to raise awareness about research data management, sharing, and preservation, along with the support and resources available at our university. We believe research data are the foundation of the scholarly record and crucial for advancing knowledge of the world around us. Visit this blog during the week of February 8, 2016: each day will we will share daily tips and tricks for managing research data, stories (both success and horror!), examples and resources. 

You can also join the national conversation on Twitter via #LYD16. The main site for Love Your Data Week will also be a good source of information for the week, and you can see other participating institutions listed there as well.
