Buried Deep: How Data About Subseafloor Life Becomes Dark And Why, Peter Darch, Rebekah Cummings

Peter Darch

Earth scientists increasingly work in distributed, multidisciplinary projects. To promote the sharing of data across such a project, it is vital to improve long-term preservation of data in formats accessible to scientists in multiple disciplines with diverse needs, tools and scientific practices. When developing data management plans and infrastructure, it is important to ask: - What data are generated? - Where are these data preserved and shared? - What are the processes by which these data become 'dark'? - What are the infrastructural and social factors that shape these processes? In response to these questions, we present findings from the first year of a ...

Using De Bono’S Six Thinking Hats For Creative Thinking, Effective Decision Making, Engaged Meetings, And Faster Problem Solving, Linda M. Golian-Lui, Katherine Jana Golian-Lui

We involve too much in the thinking process creating a ‘thinking stew’ filled with emotions, ruts, and opinions. De Bono’s six thinking hats is a simple, fun, and effective technique that helps organizations communicate more effectively and stimulates creative problem solving. Come and learn and experience this unique communication tool.
