Hello everyone, and welcome to the FAIR in biological practice workshop. We are very pleased to have you with us.

Today’s Trainers

To begin the class, each Trainer should give a brief introduction of themselves.

Better research by better sharing

For many of us, data management or output sharing in general are considered a burden rather than a useful activity. Part of the problem is our bad timing and lack of planning.

Data management is a continuous process
