The digital world allows us to connect in ever increasing ways.  As an early career scholar these connections can provide you with both opportunities and challenges.  This workshop is designed to help you consider the best ways to navigate how you want to present yourself online.  We will discuss topics such as what to share and how to share, the ethical issues involved, and how to maintain the right balance of privacy.  We will also examine some steps you can take, such as creating a profile on Google Scholar, creating a Google alert for your name, creating an ORCID ID, interacting professionally on Twitter, and creating an online portfolio. If you have a laptop, you may want to bring it.  You will receive RCR credit for attending.

Stakeholders across academia are increasingly discussing the value of making research data publicly available. In response to this dialogue, Duke faculty members and research support units have spearheaded initiatives to enhance accessibility to data. This event will include a panel of Duke researchers as they discuss how they are engaged with sharing and archiving research data.

Panelists include: 

• Patrick Charbonneau, Associate Professor of Chemistry and Physics
• Doug Boyer, Associate Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology
• Ana Barros, Edmund T. Pratt, Jr. School Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering

Whether you have been asked to share your own research data by a funder or journal publisher, you would like to keep an official record of the data generated by your project or lab, you support the research enterprise, or you are just interested in the topic of data sharing - join us as we explore the mechanics, platforms, benefits, and challenges of sharing and archiving research data. 

Sponsored by Data and Visualization Services and the Duke Research Data Repository and Curation Program.

Lunch will be provided. Registration required for planning purposes.

Your opinion counts! Share your thoughts about ways to improve and enhance Lilly Library services, spaces, and resources in a one-hour moderated focus group. In particular, because Lilly Library is being considered for renovation in the near future, feedback from interested library users like you is a vital part of our planning process.

In return, we'll feed you! Dinner and dessert on us! We look forward to seeing you.

Where: Perkins Library, Room 118

When: Wednesday, April 17, 6 to 7 pm

Some People have asked for a slow motion introduction to R and the Tidyverse using RStudio.  In this two-hour, hands-on session we will assume no knowledge of programming or statistical analysis.  Class size will be limited to 20 students.  The pace will be deliberate as we gently describe all the major functions of RStudio, aka the development environment.  Along the way, we will introduce data wrangling, data types, variable assignments, and packages. Our focus will be the Tidyverse, specifically the dplyr package. Tidyverse is an approachable set of consistent data science tools enabling the R statistical programming language.

NOTE:  Bring your laptop.  The Edge Workshop Room does not provide computers.

NOTE 2:  If you need help configuring your laptop for this workshop, come to the DVS Walk-In Hours before the workshop:  Wednesdays between 1-3pm.  (Floor Map for Bostock Library > 1st Floor > Brandaleone Lab for Data and Visualization Services.)

NOTE 3:  Workshop location is different than the location for laptop configuration help.

The content of the workshop may be recorded. Cameras will capture the instructor station and the display screen. Ambient audio, including verbal audience participation, will be included on the recording. Registration for the workshop indicates consent. If you are uncomfortable with a recording being published please contact the instructor at anytime prior to the conclusion of the workshop.

 

Left to their own devices, students will often wait until a writing assignment is nearly due—cheating themselves out of much the learning the assignment was designed to support. This session explores a range of options for staging the writing process in ways that can maximize learning, without overburdening the instructor. 

10:30-12, LOCATION TBD on West Campus.  This workshop is presented by the Thompson Writing Program. Please register here.

To close out the semester, we'll be discussing three selections from David Sedaris' newest collection of personal essays, Claypso:

• “Why Aren’t You Laughing?”
• “Now We Are Five”
• “A Number of Reasons I’ve Been Depressed Lately”

Light refreshments will be served. Copies of this book are available for checkout from Duke University Libraries and Durham County Library. 

Two panels of distinguished scholars will explore the significance and transformational potential of the Lisa Unger Baskin Collection. This program is in conjunction with the exhibit "Five Hundred Years of Women's Work: The Lisa Unger Baskin Collection."

Human resources departments have traditionally relied on intuition and anecdotal information to make decisions about recruitment, retention, and work culture. The field of people analytics is new to most HR departments and seeks to apply statistical thinking and data analysis to every step of the employee life cycle in order to help organizations make the best decisions possible. Data visualization and data storytelling become central priorities, allowing complex ideas to be communicated to audiences with all levels of data literacy. In this presentation, I'll walk through a variety of visual analyses created in the first year of people analytics in the Duke health system.

The Visualization Friday Forum seminar series is a forum for faculty, staff and students from across the university (and beyond Duke) to share their research involving the development and/or application of visualization methodologies. Our goal is to build an interdisciplinary community of visualization experts whose combined knowledge can facilitate research and promote innovation. Anyone is welcome to attend.

In April 2015, the Lisa Unger Baskin Collection arrived at the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Duke University. Comprising over 11,000 rare books and thousands of manuscripts, journals, ephemera, and artifacts, the Baskin Collection includes many well-known monuments of women’s history and arts as well as lesser-known works produced by female scholars, printers, publishers, laborers, scientists, authors, artists, and political activists.

“From Shipping Crate to Exhibit Case” looks at the comprehensive work of libraries, including how we organize, conserve, describe, and exhibit, through the lens of this unique collection.

Our new exhibit Five Hundred Years of Women’s Work: The Lisa Unger Baskin Collection will be available for viewing after the program, in the Mary Duke Biddle Room.

Free and open to the public.
