Past Events

We invite graduate students to come and join us at the Alonso Family room (in the Student Union/Student Life area) to express their gratitude to: their advisor/mentor, a faculty member, a staff person, a TA, a peer, a friend or family by writing a thank you note. Students have the option to use traditional paper and envelope cards, or write an ecard, or they can create their own paper or ecard.

Curious about how to transform raw data into clear, engaging visuals? Whether you're presenting findings or just exploring new ways to tell stories with data, this session will introduce you to the core principles of data visualization and why they matter. We'll walk through real-world examples, explore useful tools, and share practical tips to help you design visuals that communicate your message effectively and with impact.

Curious about how to manage your research data? Join us for a workshop that introduces the essentials of research data management. We’ll cover types of research data across disciplines, OSU policies on data security, tools available to students, and best practices for organizing, storing, and sharing data. Whether you're working with interviews or numerical datasets, this session will help you manage your data responsibly and securely.

As scientists, we write for a variety of audiences, including colleagues in our fields, scientists in other disciplines, and non-scientists. Stories can help us engage these audiences and effectively deliver our scientific messages.  In this workshop, we will learn and practice strategies for writing compelling scientific stories.   Presented by Dr. Christopher Gillen, Professor of Biology and Director of Kenyon’s Creative Science Writing Program, Kenyon College
