| Monday, February 12 | CIDR: Handwritten text recognition with Transkribus If you’re working with handwritten documents – from medieval manuscripts to modern letters – and you need them transcribed to search and analyze the contents, this workshop will help you get started. Stanford Libraries subscribes to a tool called Transkribus, which lets you use and train your own AI-powered models for handwritten text recognition in many languages. |
| Tuesday, February 13 | Create and Implement Competitive NIH Data Management Plans An important part of NIH grant proposals is the Data Management and Sharing Plan (DMSP) – a short document that describes what data will be acquired by the proposed work and how it’ll be kept, used, and made available to others. For funded grants, the contents of this plan become part of the terms and conditions of the award. This workshop will cover how to write a competitive plan for submission and how to follow through on the plan once a grant is funded. We will provide templates, rubrics, and other guidance materials and there will be an opportunity for Q and A with a data management expert. |
| Wednesday, February 14 | Swing by the Love Data Week Fair in the Mackenzie Room, Jen-Hsun Huang Engineering Center, on Wednesday, February 14th, to meet data specialists from across Stanford, including the Stanford Libraries, Stanford Research Computing, University IT, Stanford Graduate School of Business Library, Lane Medical Library, Stanford Geospatial Center and more! Learn about campus resources and services that support all aspects of data-driven research, including finding, analyzing, visualizing, storing, managing, and sharing data. Join us for snacks, crafts, everything data, and more at the Love Data Fair! |

| Thursday, February 15 | Carpentries @ Stanford: Data Visualization in R This workshop is a gentle introduction to working with the ggplot2 visualization library in R for those who have moderate programming experience in R. If you know how to work with datasets (variables, matrices, dataframes) and functions in R, but you have never created figures beyond maybe a few base R visualizations (using the plot, hist, barplot functions), then this class is a good fit for you! By the end of this workshop, you will have learned the syntax of ggplot2, how to modify and customize graph aesthetics, how to generate 1D and 2D plots, and how to save your figures to your computer. Time permitting, we will explore a few extra features such as faceting, custom colors, and themes! |

| Friday, March 1 | Planetscope Satellite Imagery 101 Join us for an Introduction to Planetscope Daily Imagery. This event is designed for those keen on advancing their understanding of leveraging Planetscope Imagery, at scale, for research and teaching. We'll begin with an overview of Planetscope, and how to get access. Then we'll shift to a hands on demonstration of the Planetscope Explorer, for searching and ordering Planet.com imagery. Finally, we'll introduce the Data & Orders APIs from Planet.com, using Python. |
| Weeklong | A bioblitz is a communal event that focuses on recording as many species as possible within a specific location and time period. As part of Love Data Week, we'll be gathering information on our local biodiversity - around Stanford and the Hopkins Marine Station - to better understand the plants, animals, and critters that share the campus with us. If you're not sure where to start, check out the themed walks and trails on the Stanford campus. |
