Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
You're invited to apply now for the iDigBio Workshop, <br>
Field to Database: Biodiversity informatics and Data Management
skills for specimen-based research.<br>
<b>Go here to apply</b>: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.idigbio.org_content_field-2Ddatabase-2Dbiodiversity-2Dinformatics-2Dand-2Ddata-2Dmanagement-2Dskills-2Dspecimen-2Dbased-2Dresearch&d=AwMDaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=YL0KTLJmU2F67JoyuSxMdzpeIXhWo1sN649rB8WwVBc&s=6OVH7A_yytM0WNYkrGxb3Am1LFno6xzLDik3gZO0en0&e=">https://www.idigbio.org/content/field-database-biodiversity-informatics-and-data-management-skills-specimen-based-research</a><br>
<br>
<b>When</b>: March 9 - 12, 2015 (yes, 4 days)<br>
<b>Where</b>: iDigBio's home in Gainesville, Florida<br>
<b>Expected Applicants</b>: <strong></strong>Anyone (graduate
students, postdocs, and researchers) who collects and/or uses museum
specimen collection data in their research is invited.<br>
<b>What: </b>A 4-day, hands-on course for graduate students,
postdocs, and researchers exploring data tools, current trends and
best practices for collecting and managing field data, identifiers,
trait data, and environmental variables. How can you collect and
store your field-collected specimen data to easily integrate with
external databases? What metadata is important? From born digital
data, to research use of the data: this course starts with data
collection in the field and ends with how best to get quality,
standardized data into a format suitable to upload into a database
to support long-term reproducible research workflows, data sharing,
and data publication.<br>
<b>Funding and Logistics: </b>There are no funds to support travel
this workshop. A few rooms have been reserved with a group rate for
those who may travel from out-of-town for this workshop. All
materials and recordings will be available after the workshop for
others to use at their local institutions. There is no tuition for
this course.<br>
