Love Your Data Week -- celebrate with us!

February 8, 2017 - 6:25pm by Kate Nyhan

Love Your Data week is coming! Libraries at Yale are celebrating this international event to help researchers take better care of their data. 

#LoveYourData events at Cushing/Whitney Medical Library

Data Horror Stories -- Brown Bag Lunch, 2/13/2017Data Valentines -- 2/15/2017

On Tuesday you'll celebrated your loved ones; on Wednesday, you can celebrate your loved ones and zeroes! Create a Valentine to the dataset of your choice. Maybe you and your dataset have been growing together for many years, or maybe you're in the first flush of exploring your data's documentation and variables. If you love your data, tell us about it! 

Cushing Center Tour: The Cushing Tumor Registry as a Live Dataset -- 2/17/2017
You may have seen the Cushing Center, with brains, photographs and more -- but have you heard the story of how the collection came to be, how some samples, photographs, and other metadata survived until the twenty-first century, and how researchers are still using these samples today? Join Cushing Center Coordinator Terry Dagradi and Research and Education Librarian Kate Nyhan to discuss the continuing life of this extraordinary collection -- and how lucky we are that the collection has survived intact for so long.
