Dear all, [did you miss me?]
I wanted to alert you to the D-Lab's upcoming work with Tracy Teal of Data Carpentry. The idea is to start assembling useful modules for teaching social scientists to work with data in a rigorous fashion. We'll be hunkering down Jul 24-25, mostly in the D-Lab. If you plan to show up, let me know and we'll order more food. You're also welcome to join remotely, and we already have a coordinator for the New York area. There is an issue tracker where you can indicate your interest here: https://github.com/dlab-berkeley/social-data-carpentry-2015/issues/1 There's a ton of great stuff to do here, and we'll be getting input from folks that are not generally part of our community (yet!) - like folks with 20+ years helping researchers work with secondary use data. This will be a great opportunity, but DON'T WORRY - there will be plenty left to do if you can't join us at the end of the month. And currently, we don't have much in the way of good publicity (like a nice web page). But we've got some great people involved already to help make things go smoothly. Best, -- Dav Clark Data Scientist Berkeley D-Lab + BIDS bead.glass 917-544-8408
