In the first part of this workshop, students will learn what a research notebook is and what it is not; the do’s and don’ts of maintaining one; why it is important to keep accurate records; and what are the fundamentals of data management. In the second part of the workshop, students will learn about the most common elements required in research reports and how to extract information from the research notebook to write effective reports.

The second part of the workshop involves a presentation, a round table with other students and work in small groups. The guiding theme for this portion is “What do you want to be when you grow up: Mapping the road for success, driving on the road, shifting gears, and what to do when you get there (or not)”.
