Which of these core competencies (if any) were you familiar with before taking this class? How did you become familiar with them? I was familiar with Data Preservation, Analysis, Visualization, and Ethics. I became familiar with it mainly in the context of research and publication. It is very important for research to be able to maintain, keep and publish reliable research. Its both for the experiment to be doable by other scientists to produce the same or similar results and it must be done in honor meaning that they have to have honest data.
Which of these core competencies (if any) did you gain a deeper understanding of by doing this exercise? What about the exercise taught you about them? I think I got a better understanding of Data Management and Organization and Data Format because I understand that organization plays an huge role in terms of efficiency. It is more frustrating for a new person to go through data when its very hard to find or use. Even if the data can be complicated, if it is organized and user-friendly it makes it less frustrating to go through the motions.
Which of these core competencies (if any) do you want to know more about? Why? I would like to learn more about Quality Insurance. I think it is important for any information that goes into a database that it is honest and useable data. That is why I would like to know more about the Quality Insurance and how it plays a role in the greater science community.
