Please consider contributing to this effort by takign the survey below. Thanks! Cortney ### Please take a moment to briefly respond to 13 questions about data skills needs of researchers in the social sciences at UW: https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/bmarwick/238867 We're planning to run a Software Carpentry data bootcamp at UW in the coming fall quarter. The data carpentry bootcamp is specifically focused on tools and practices for more productively managing and manipulating data. 'We' are Ben Marwick (UW Anthropology), Greg Wilson (Software Carpentry/Mozilla Science Lab) and Bill Howe (UW eScience Institute). The purpose of this survey is to identify the computing and data skills and tools that researchers in the social sciences and humanities at UW are interested in learning. With this information we can tailor the content of the bootcamp to maximize its effectiveness, and consider the possibility of regular offerings of bootcamps like this. More details about background and motivation are at the survey page here: https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/bmarwick/238867 Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments. thanks, Ben -- Ben Marwick, Assistant Professor, Department of Anthropology Denny Hall 117, Box 353100, University of Washington Seattle, WA 98195-3100 USA t.
