Physician Scientist and Clinical Investigator Enhancement Program: Lecture Three Dr. Frank Meyskens will outline the importance of creating an enjoyable and essential work-life balance and a plan for preventing, managing, and recovering from “burnout.” A review of the major stressors and de-stressors will be presented. A focus on Clinical Investigators will be incorporated into the series. Additionally, Dr. Meyskens will summarize and examine the emphasis on interprofessional research and educational activities with other schools that will occur in the coming year. |

Version Control with GIT Workshop Version control is the lab notebook of the digital world: it’s what professionals use to keep track of what they’ve done and to collaborate with other people. Every large software development project relies on it, and most programmers use it for their small jobs as well. And it isn’t just for software: books, papers, small data sets, and anything that changes over time or needs to be shared can and should be stored in a version control system. This Carpentry based workshop will cover setting up Git, tracking changes, and collaborating with others. The total amount of participation time is approximately 3 hours. Registered participants will receive invites to the Canvas workshop before the start of the workshop on February 8th. |

Creating An Effective Data Management Plan for Your Grant Proposal Need to create a data management plan to meet funder requirements, and wondering where to start? This workshop will provide an overview of data sharing and management requirements from public and private funders, including NSF and NIH. Attendees will learn about the main components of data management plans, look at examples, and learn about resources, such as the DMPTool, that can help craft an effective data management plan. |

Unix Workshop The Unix shell has been around longer than most of its users have been alive. It has survived so long because it’s a powerful tool that allows people to do complex things with just a few keystrokes. More importantly, it helps them combine existing programs in new ways and automate repetitive tasks so they aren’t typing the same things over and over again. There is an option to receive an Alternative Digital Credential for this workshop by completing assignments. This Carpentry based workshop will cover files and directories, pipes, filters, loops, and shell scripts. The total amount of participation time is approximately 4 hours. Registered participants will receive invites to the Canvas workshop before the May 3rd start date. |

Focused Flexible Accelerated Studies Program: Scientific Leadership Dr. Maritza Salazar Campo, an Assistant Professor of Organizational Behavior in The Paul Merage School of Business will facilitate the workshop on Scientific Leadership. She will be discussing key aspects of successfully leading a research team. We will conclude the session with a discussion among panel members from across campus on what leadership means to them and sharing their experiences as it relates to leadership in their labs. The panelist include Dr. Marcelo Wood, Dr. David Fruman, Dr. Susan Huang, and Dr. Michael Yassa. |
