Registration has closed.

Start your semester with a research system that actually works.

This hands-on workshop will help you set up a reusable starter kit for managing your science coursework, lab data, or thesis research. You’ll leave with a well-organized project folder, a readable README template, and a backup plan that protects your work from accidents or lost files.

Bring your laptop and join in. No experience needed.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Create a clear folder structure for scientific projects

  • Write a README to document your work

  • Apply a backup strategy using Harvard tools like OneDrive

  • Identify campus resources for data management and support
