An Epic Week for @ITS_Res
A top ten list of awesome stuff that researchers at UniMelb are doing right now!
- 10) Researchers are people too! So let’s quickly meet a couple of them, like a.) meet researcher: Susan from the School of Cultural Communications, b.) meet researcher: Josephine from the School of Arts , c.) meet researcher: Helen from the Dental School
- 9) How developers (working with researchers) can build applications that work across the research federation with a tool called HeAT.
- 8) How researchers can publish small databases with a spreadsheet and a tool called Omeka!
- 7) Why researchers should care more about getting government to open up their data, hint: because more research can be done!
- 6) UniMelb Researchers learning to explore the DNA Helix through a simple yet powerful tool called Galaxy!
- 5) Our own Research Community Manager (Paul) on ABC radio talking about 3D Printing for use in Research.
- 4) Getting Researchers to Hack our (UniMelb’s) Carbon Footprint at an event called #C14Hack.
- 3) Why researchers should attend more “hackathons” like the upcoming GovHack!
- 2) Announced, in collaboration with Mozilla Science, is a global sprint to create new training material for researchers so they can learn “software carpentry” skills.
…and drum roll please…We’re going to be a host site for the @MozillaScience Global Sprint. Would love to see you there! http://t.co/wgJRVxn93K @swcarpentry

Research can be ‘bazaar’, we’re here to help! Don’t understand how? Read our mission statement. Flick us a tweet, watch a video, check out our page. Even better than the virtual, meet like minded researchers at one of our events. Come engage with the Melbourne research community!
Get started by contacting your discipline’s ‘Research Community Coordinator’, who can help you learn new tools and have fun collaborating with fellow researchers. Here’s the full list.
