Hello all, The Carpentries is co-organising a symposium session at the Biodiversity_next conference that will take place in Leiden (The Netherlands), October 22-25, 2019. The symposium (SP91) is entitled "Developing a Data-Literate Workforce in Biodiversity Science" and we welcome submissions on:
• Data literacy as an important component of preparing future biodiversity researchers; • Innovative ways of using natural history collections data, alongside environmental, ecological and geological data, to present biodiversity information and data skills in education; • Biodiversity data standards that speak to the high-level knowledge and skills necessary to enter a data-driven workforce. More information on the symposium is available on the conference website: https://biodiversitynext.org/list-of-symposia-and-workshops/ (look for SP91). More information about abstract submission is available here: https://biodiversitynext.org/call-for-abstracts/ Note that submission deadline is March 22.
