your data will not be lost or corrupted, your data will not be inadvertently exposed to people who shouldn’t have access to it
your data will be properly documented to ensure you will interpret it correctly and not confuse various versions
to the extent that it is appropriate your data will be made available for use by other scholars, your data will be preserved for future analysis
your data will adhere to the requirements of funders and publishers

This workshop will introduce you to best practices to ensure that your research data is appropriately managed during the life of your research project and beyond.

As we harvest the fruits of summer, the natural world begins to fall away. At this precise moment, we invite you to turn toward the eternal light (inner sun) within us as the physical light outside starts diminishing. Harmony, balance and the opportunity to let go of what no longer serves us are the offerings of the equinox and our practice.
Be Safe. Be Well. Stay Calm. Practice COVID-19 safety guidelines and rules. Practice Classical Yoga!
Wish you all a successful Fall Semester in mind, body and spirits.
Looking forward to seeing you all!
