Canva is a free online tool for designing visuals like social media posts, presentations, and documents using customizable templates. In this hybrid workshop, attendees will learn the basic tools of Canva and apply them to a variety of templates.

This virtual workshop will cover how to use AI to generate keywords for a research question. Using Microsoft CoPilot, we will generate search terms on a particular topic, identify databases and journals to search, and determine terms to use when searching specific databases.

Participate in the 2025 Geosciences Hackathon to build your software development skills, network, and contribute to open source projects. This year's hackathon theme is "change over time" and participating hackathon teams, guided by mentors, will develop computational models to track geochanges across different time scales, from real time to millions of years in geological time.

Conducting research doesn't necessarily require collecting new data; re-using existing data can often be both efficient and powerful. This virtual Data & Donuts workshop will focus on Finding and Evaluating existing datasets for use in research from specialist and generalist repositories.

In this virtual workshop, learn about the Pivot database and how to use it to find funding opportunities!

This virtual Data & Donuts workshop will introduce attendees to basic concepts and techniques for working with text as data, focusing on how open source software can be used to implement computational approaches for understanding and examining text. A practical, hands-on exercise using Python will follow the introductory talk.

In this virtual AI & Research workshop, we will investigate the utility of using AI to generate research reports. We will provide an overview of tools, time for hands-on interaction, and a discussion on the pros and cons of these tools.

In this virtual workshop, learn how to use the EndNote software product to help collect, organize, and cite the references and papers that support your research.
