     Greetings!



Those of us from the Odum Institute want to share this fantastic summer
opportunity for continuing your education! The *Data Matters: Data Science
Summer Workshop Series* is a week-long series of classes for researchers,
data analysts, and other individuals who wish to increase their skills in
data studies and integrate data science methods into their research designs
and skill sets. Both one- and two-day courses will be offered from *June 22
to 26, 2015* and run *from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Chapel Hill, North Carolina*.
Participants are welcome to register for one, two, or three classes.
Examples of a couple of the courses offered in this workshop series are



·         *Data Curation: Managing Data throughout the Research Lifecycle**
(June 22-23)*

This course will provide an introduction to 1) the diversity of data and
their management needs across the research data lifecycle, 2) the impetus
and importance of preserving and sharing data, 3) the processes required
for preserving and sharing data, 4) digital repository activities and
assessment, and 5) the role of advocacy and communication when discussing
data management best practices. Participants will also be given
demonstrations of digital curation tools including the Dataverse™ open
source virtual archive platform.



·         *Open(ing) Data: Considerations in Data Sharing and Reuse** (June
24)*

This workshop will examine the opportunities and challenges of open access
to data resources and some of the open-source mechanisms available to share
research data. Specifically, participants will learn about 1) the open data
access movement, 2) data security considerations, 3) protection of the
confidentiality of research participants, 4) the process of anonymizing
datasets, 5) embargos and rights of first use, 6) access restrictions, 7)
data ownership, 8) data citation, and 9) other ethical questions related to
data sharing and reuse.
