Events for Love Data week
The Research Data Management team have organised several events for Love Data week 2020 (10-14 February).
Modern practices of sharing computational research by Alexander Konovalov (School of Computer Science). Tuesday 11 February, 3pm, Physics Lecture Theatre C.
“Have you been frustrated by trying to use someone else’s code which is non-trivial to install? Have you tried to make supplementary code for your paper to be easily accessible for the reader? If so, you certainly know that this may require non-trivial efforts. I will demonstrate some tools that may help to create reproducible computational experiments, and will explain which skills will be needed to use these tools. The talk will demonstrate examples in Python and R runnable in Jupyter notebooks. You are welcome to bring your laptop to try these examples online. No prior knowledge of programming is required.”
BioTIME – building an interactive open access database by Faye Moyes (School of Biology). Thursday 13 February, 2.30pm, United College School II.
“The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate temporal trends in biodiversity within and amongst assemblages using a broad range of metrics. BioTIME is a community‐led open‐source database of biodiversity time series which has expanded exponentially since inception and is continuing to grow. Our goal is to accelerate and facilitate quantitative analysis of temporal patterns of biodiversity in the Anthropocene.”
