Wrangle your data at the Harvard Library's Love Data Rodeo. Celebrate Love Data Week by learning how to tame and transform your data in style!

With interactive activities like Data Rodeo Bingo, prizes, swag, and candy, this 2-hour round-up will be a fun and engaging way to explore a wide range of University-based data tools, services, and expertise that will help power up your research. Representatives of Harvard-approved platforms will be on hand to provide demonstrations and share the support they can provide to help you make the most of your research data.

Participants will learn about resources spanning the data lifecycle, including:

• Accountable policy understanding with the SPARC Policy Tracking and Harvard's Data Safety System
• Proactive project planning and organization with DMP Tool, protocols.io, and RSpace
• Dependable data storage and monitoring with Starfish and ColdFront
• Reproducible data analysis and reporting with GIS software such as ArcGIS Pro and QGIS, and data visualization strategies with Tableau and Flourish
• Responsible data sharing with Open Science Framework, Harvard Dataverse, and Digital Project Sustainability Dossier

Whether you’re seeking to understand your funder requirements, organize your data, find spatial data for mapping or share your data for others to use, this event offers a one-stop opportunity to discover what’s available and connect with experts who can help you get started.

This event will be held in-person in the Lamont Library Forum Room. The Forum Room is located on the third floor of Lamont Library. A Harvard ID is required to enter the Lamont Library. We recommend attendees bring their laptops to more deeply engage with the resources that will be demoed. Registration is recommended, but not required.

This event is open to all Harvard students, postdocs, researchers, faculty, and staff. There are no prerequisites or assumptions of knowledge. With interactive activities like Rodeo Bingo, raffle prizes, swag bags, and refreshments, it will be a fun and engaging way to explore a wide range of University-based tools, services, and expertise that will power up your research.
