Love Data Week Schedule
Workshop: Put the Sharing In Your Data Management and Sharing Plan
1 PM, Wednesday, February 12th | Merrill-Cazier Library, Rm 122
This is the year! All Federal agencies that distribute significant research grant funding have until the end of 2025 to issue new policies requiring the public sharing of research data. Many have already done so, creating a confusing patchwork of rules you must navigate if you are developing a new grant proposal.
This Workshop Will:
- Update you on recent changes at the agencies that most commonly work with USU researchers
- Help you strategize when you start a new project to gather and format your data to most easily comply with sharing requirements
- Review support provided by USU Libraries to help you create your DMSP, including how to use DMPTool and get expert guidance on finding the best home for your data

- Monday, February 10th, 2:30-3:45 PM | LIB 208 | Making Your Data Sing: Data Sonification for Beginners
Data sonification is a form of data representation that uses sounds varying in pitch, volume, or length to illustrate a dataset. Like data visualization it allows us to quickly interpret what the data is telling us. Data sonification also adds another layer of accessibility to data visualization. This workshop will introduce participants to data sonification, discuss best practices, and introduce them to data sonification tools. Presented by McGill University. - Wednesday, February 12, 10:00-11:30 AM | LIB 208 | Whose (Training) Data Is It Anyway? Ethics in Data Use for AI Research: Roundtable Discussion
Artificial intelligence (AI) is built on data, and creates more every time it’s used. Whose Data Is It, Anyway? We invite researchers using and creating AI across disciplines, legal experts, and researchers whose data supports AI development to discuss the ownership of the data that underpins AI models used for research. The topics that will be covered include the implication of AI on patient privacy for health research, data ownership for AI-generated data, researchers’ responsibilities to develop AI models ethically, and guidelines and future directions for AI research. Presented by Johns Hopkins University. - Friday, February 14th, 11:00 AM - 12 PM | LIB 208 | Love Me Tinder: Unlocking the Secrets of Modern Romance
