The capacity to manage, manipulate, and analyze data is important to modern research programs. Ensuring research staff and students have access to the education and learning opportunities to maintain their development is the role of PIs, program heads, and institutional directors. Peer teaching and learning communities provide a learner-lead environment that is easy to foster and support in parallel with formal structures like academic curricula and professional development. We will describe our experiences at UF and FSU developing a community centered around the Data and Software Carpentry organizations to advance the informatics capacity of our organizations. | The capacity to manage, manipulate, and analyze data is important to modern research programs.

This session is an introduction and invitation to participate in two new initiatives related to biodiversity education: Biodiversity Literacy in Undergraduate Education (BLUE) a newly funded RCN-UBE, and the Broadening Participation in Biodiversity Sciences Working Group. Following a brief presentation on the two project’s upcoming activities and opportunities, facilitators will lead participants in a discussion focusing on the following: 1) What core data skills do all undergraduate biology students need to access and interpret data from digital natural history collection archives? 2) What resources are currently available for introductory biology instructors wanting to use collections based digital data in the classroom? and 3) What resources are available to biodiversity scientists seeking to broaden participation of underrepresented groups in the biodiversity sciences. | |||

iDigBio would like to brainstorm with the TCNs about the IAC meetings, bi-monthly reports, etc. The goal is to make these more effective and beneficial for all. This can also be a forum to brainstorm about other topics related to interaction among iDigBio and the TCNs. | iDigBio would like to brainstorm with the TCNs about the IAC meetings, bi-monthly reports, etc. The goal is to make these more effective and beneficial for all.
