Participants will share ideas and practices to make computational research smoother \u0026mdash\u003B much like the basic lab skills one is introduced to and trained on for a smooth and safe lab experience.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EPrerequisites: None. This workshop is open to anyone participating in or planning to conduct scientific research involving computing.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELearning outcomes:\u003Cbr\u003E\u002D Good enough practices for data management\u003Cbr\u003E\u002D Good enough practices for project organization\u003Cbr\u003E\u002D Good enough practices for file naming conventions\u003Cbr\u003E\u002D Good enough practices for tracking changes\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EPlease note:\u003C/strong\u003E This event will not be recorded.
