WEBINAR: Back to basics: handling research data

When email is not enough. Get to grips with data movement challenges and solutions.

About this webinar

How does the internet work and does it impact on your research?

Dealing with data is an everyday part of modern biology. From small files to enormous data sets we are constantly moving and sharing data across the globe. How we move this data can have a big impact on our time and productivity.

Go back to basics in this interactive webinar to explore the factors that influence data movement and discover tools that can be used to move data efficiently. We'll cover topics such as jargon busting, types of networks, data movement solutions and introduce CloudStor as a tool for data storage, transfer and analysis.

This interactive webinar includes a hands-on component. There will be opportunities for discussion and questions.

Trainer: This event will be led by Sara King, AARNet, and Melissa Burke, Australian BioCommons.

Learning objectives

By the end of this webinar you should be able to:

  • Compare and contrast features of networks available in Australia

  • List factors that influence data movement

  • Perform a speed test

  • Identify and select appropriate data movement tools

Who the webinar is for

This interactive webinar is tailored for biologists with little to no technical knowledge about networks.

Date/Time: 5 November 1:00pm - 3:00pm AEDT
