Effective data management is not intuitive. In this seminar you will learn about basic issues with data management (e.g. naming files, file storage, etc.) and you will be directed to useful data management resources. As everyone who is doing research deals with some kind of data, this seminar is relevant to all researchers.

See the Calendar and/or the URES Fall 2016 flier for the current list of events.

What does it take to teach a computer the laws of chemistry? In this edition of Science Night Live we will explore how the same algorithms used in video games and space exploration can also help us understand the ways that molecules assemble to form useful materials. These materials can be used to store carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas, or even harvest solar energy.

Science Night Live is free and open to the public 21 or over. Please arrive early, as seating and parking will be limited. Click here to learn more about the Science Night Live lecture series.
