In this six part workshop series provides an introduction into the open data science practices using Python and its various tools for researchers. This will be a highly interactive/hands on series with plenty of practice provided. 

Operating in the tradition of the atlases and counter-maps developed by critical and activist scholars, A People’s Atlas of Nuclear Colorado is a collectively authored digital humanities project documenting and interpreting the sites, issues, policies, and cultures associated with the American nuclear weapons complex as it enters its ninth decade.

Users of high performance computing (HPC) can greatly benefit from the ability to parallize computational tasks across 10s, 100s or 1000s of CPU cores, which an in turn can speed up simulations by orders of magnitude. Whether or not you are a software developer, learning some basic fundamentals of software development for HPC – software version control, message passing between parallel tasks within software (MPI), and profiling & scaling software – will facilitate more effective computing practices, and may come in handy if you need to make modifications to research code.

If you love GIS, Python, and Free and Open Source Software, then GeoPandas is for you. GeoPandas is an extension of the popular Python package Pandas that reads, writes, and analyzes vector geospatial data formats of all types. In this workshop we will introduce GeoPandas and how to perform basic geospatial operations using Python code.

In celebration of international Open Education Week, this panel of CU Boulder open educators features Karen Crofton from the College of Engineering, Nicole Jobin from the Sewall Residential Academic Program, David Paradis from the History Department, Brooke Huibregtse Ketels from Psychology and Neuroscience, and Alex Saltzman from the Student Academic Success Center.

Built by JSTOR Labs, Juncture is a free and open-source framework for creating engaging visual essays and static websites. A visual essay is an interactive and responsive web page that augments a text narrative with immersive elements to provide depth and context for your scholarship. With Juncture you can create a single essay or build a full website consisting of multiple visual essays with navigation, and simple customizations. For digital humanists familiar with Scalar and ArcGIS StoryMaps, this is a minimal computing answer to those tools.

How can I reuse material from my dissertation for publications, or visa versa? Do I need to register copyright for my dissertation/thesis? Should I share my dissertation/thesis publicly, and how do I go about sharing it? What do I need to be concerned about when using material from other publications in my dissertation/thesis? If you’ve asked yourself any of these questions, this workshop will explore copyright law, fair use principles, and publisher policies and help you to make important decisions about your own dissertation or thesis.
