This last Crossroads of Ideas of the semester will feature presentations and a fireside chat all about the data life cycle and what it takes to make scientific data FAIR – Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reuseable. Panelists will journey through a day in the life of data from collection to interpretation, the ways scientific data is made available to both the scientific community and the world, and the importance of openness.

Panelists:

Brian Bockelman, Investigator, Research Computing, Morgridge Institute for Research

Margaret Thairu, Researcher, Handelsman Lab , Wisconsin Institute for Discovery

Cameron Cook, Data & Digital Scholarship Manager, UW–Madison Libraries
