[Acmsmajors] May Open Scholarship Commons Events

[Math & ACMS Student Services Office]

From:  "Kira A. Wyld" <kwyld at uw.edu>

Dear Students,

I wanted to make sure you were aware of some of the amazing events coming
up in May through the Open Scholarship Commons
<https://www.lib.washington.edu/openscholarship> (OSC). There are many
bite-sized data visualization workshops, as well as many longer trainings
on how to better use Excel in your academic work or life. I look forward to
seeing you soon at these events, and you should always feel free to contact
the Libraries or set up a consultation to talk about your own research!

Best,
Kira Wyld
STEM Librarian

Data representation and visualization have increased as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic and graphs are produced by both professionals and
everyday individuals. This has also led to the display of misinformation
and disinformation and the topic of data manipulation has become more
prevalent in conversations. This online workshop will share knowledge
pertaining to the manipulation of visual representation, explain the human
interpretation of pictographs, and start a conversation about how to read a
picture or visualization.

In this workshop, attendees will be introduced to the Python programming
language as a tool to aid in their qualitative humanities work. Together,
we will learn how to read and make use of Python code to perform repetitive
tasks and free ourselves to do the meaningfully human parts of our
research. Attendees will leave the workshop with tools to sort Twitter
tweets by tone, create random project groups from lists of names, and
resources for further learning. No prior technological experience is
assumed -- this is a workshop for everybody!
