How can we find and synthesize all of the existing research on a topic when there is so much information out there? Scoping reviews are a popular research synthesis method for systematically describing the existing literature on a topic. They are more reproducible and comprehensive than a traditional literature review and can help us to understand the scope of research in an area, identify existing gaps, and surface trends and key concepts. If you are considering developing a research synthesis project for your field, or are curious about such methods and how they apply in your discipline, please join us! You'll be provided with guidance and next steps for starting a scoping review at the end of the session. This session is aimed at graduate students, staff and faculty researchers, but anyone is welcome to join.

This is Part 2 of the Advanced and systematized literature review methods Workshop Series. You do not need to have attended previous workshops in this series. Join us for one or any of these sessions. Other workshops in this series:

• Tools, Techniques and Strategies for Efficient and Effective Literature Reviews, Tuesday, February 3, 11:30AM-12:30PM ET

• Analyzing scholarly literature using bibliometrics, Tuesday, April 7, 11AM-12PM ET

Learn to harness the full potential of AI language models through effective prompt design. This hands-on workshop covers essential techniques for crafting clear, specific prompts that generate reliable and useful outputs. You'll explore strategies like chain-of-thought reasoning, few-shot examples, and structured formatting to improve your AI interactions. Whether you're a researcher, developer, or curious beginner, you'll leave with practical skills to communicate more effectively with AI systems and integrate them confidently into your workflow.

Join us on Zoom for a rejuvenating 30-minute workshop focused on connecting your breath, body and mind. Discover the power of simple yet effective techniques like breathwork, gentle tapping to increase circulation in the body, and heart-centered meditation. No experience needed – just an open mind and a desire to relax. 

This workshop is for beginners and those looking to apply Python to data analysis. You'll first learn how to start projects, work in Jupyter Notebooks, and perform basic operations in Python. Then, we'll cover Python data types and how to store and work with data. Finally, you'll use a Python library called Pandas to read, explore, and summarize tabular data. The content of this workshop is adapted from this series of lessons and uses data from the Portal Project Teaching Database: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1314459  

This workshop will be held on Zoom. This will be a hands-on workshop, so we encourage you to follow along, and please download the Python distribution, Anaconda, prior to joining the workshop. We will plan to record this workshop for future viewing. 

This workshop is for Python users that are new to data analysis with Pandas. You will first learn basic Python techniques to read tabular data in a Pandas DataFrame and create filters and queries to select subsets of data. Then, we'll cover how to group data to do more refined analyses and creating simple plots to visualize data. Finally, you will learn how to merge and concatenate DataFrames from multiple sources.
