Current undergraduate students

In this online workshop, we’ll reframe the often-tedious process of cleaning data as an act of care: for your project, your collaborators and yourself. You’ll learn how to spot and fix common issues, streamline messy data sets, and create workflows that feel less like punishment and more like progress. Come for the skills, stay for the emotional catharsis. 

We’ve all been there: a reviewer or supervisor asks for your analysis, and you realize you have no idea how you got those results. This workshop is a judgment-free zone for anyone who’s lost track of their own work, it happens!

We’ll explore why research reproducibility and replicability matter, what happens if it’s not, and how to detect unreliable research around you. This workshop will also explore tools and techniques to make your research reproducible—even if you’re starting from a pile of mystery scripts. Learn how to document, automate and share your workflows so future-you (and others) won’t be left in the dark.

Data isn’t just for analysts—it’s for everyone. This workshop is your invitation to level up your data literacy, no matter your starting point or what you consider (or don’t consider) data. We’ll demystify key concepts like what even is data, what to do with it and how to begin interpreting it. This workshop will also show you how to ask better questions, spot red flags and make informed decisions. Think of it as a makeover for your brain—sparkly new skills included.

Ever opened a folder and felt like you were staring into an unknown abyss? This workshop is for anyone who’s battled chaotic data (any type!), cryptic file names and the haunting presence of “final_final_v3.docx.”

We’ll walk through practical strategies for naming, storing and structuring your data so you can find what you need—without crying. Whether you're working solo or collaborating across teams, this session will help you build habits that reduce confusion and increase efficiency.
