The group planned their horror film trailer by finding an abandoned mental institution as a setting, but were unable to get permission to film there. They wrote a synopsis referring to their research on storyline, characters, and titled their film "Final Deadline". They storyboarded scenes and created a shotlist, but filming in the dark without proper lighting made the clips unfocused and hard to view. They had to change plans and use classmates as actors instead.
This document provides an overview of data management best practices. It discusses the importance of using consistent naming conventions for files and directories to keep data organized. Metadata, controlled vocabularies, and ontologies are presented as essential tools for documenting and allowing others to understand data in the absence of the original researcher. Standards are highlighted as critical for sharing data across disciplines and over time. A variety of tools and repositories are introduced to help with tasks like version control, formatting data for sharing, and archiving datasets for long-term access and attribution. The document emphasizes that properly managing data from the start helps accelerate discovery and ensures reproducibility of scientific research.
This document discusses understanding change and resistance. It notes that change is inevitable and that while we all want and fear change, changes in one person can affect the whole system. It provides tips for remembering that anticipating and welcoming expected changes is important, as people naturally tend to resist change.

This document provides an overview of data management best practices. It discusses defining data through metadata and naming conventions, dealing with data through version control, backups, and standards, and sharing data through repositories and publications. The presenters recommend describing data thoroughly using metadata, naming files consistently, tracking versions of files, backing up data in multiple locations, using standards like controlled vocabularies, and sharing data to advance science. The OHSU Library can help with all aspects of data management.

This document provides an overview of fundamentals for creating effective data visualizations. It discusses:
1) Why visualization is important for communicating information and insights from data.
2) Key aspects of describing data meaningfully, including distinguishing between quantitative and qualitative data types.
3) Best practices for visual encoding techniques that maximize pre-attentive processing and clarity of visuals.
4) The steps involved in making a descriptive, unique and engaging data graphic, including gathering and organizing data, writing annotations to tell a story, selecting appropriate visualizations, and experimenting through iteration.
This document provides an introduction to the fundamentals of data visualization. It begins with an overview of vision and the brain, covering topics like visual biology, visual processing, and how the brain interprets different visual cues. The document then outlines several subsequent chapters that will discuss principles of color, toolkits for visualization, storytelling with data, and libraries of visualization types. It includes various images and cites sources to support the overview of visual concepts.
This document discusses the concept of dialogue and its importance for collaboration and innovation in the workplace. It provides definitions of dialogue, distinguishing it from discussion. Dialogue is described as thinking and working together to make sense of ideas, requiring full participation and the development of trust and understanding between people. Several exercises and activities are presented to practice key components of dialogue, such as listening without judgment, asking questions, and sharing stories to connect on a personal level. The document emphasizes that dialogue is a process of discovery that allows new understanding to emerge from respectfully holding differing perspectives.
This document provides tips for effective science writing. It discusses four key constraints: audience, format, mechanics, and politics. Some practical tips include using verbs to describe actions, keeping subjects near verbs for clarity, and placing new information at the end of sentences. Cohesion, coherence and emphasis are important, such as introducing familiar information before new details. The document stresses keeping writing concise and clear. Effective science communication is important, and the key is to practice writing skills.
