# data[].attributes.body
Data & Donuts is a special workshop series hosted by Research Data Services. Instructors from UT Libraries and partners from across campus share expert advice, resources, and tools that will help you take good care of your data throughout its lifecycle, from project conception to the long-term archive.

9/13: Managing Research Data: a Guide to Good Practice (Jessica Trelogan)

Dealing with the mountains of digital data that accumulate in the course of a research project can seem like a daunting process, especially if your work is collaborative or stretches over several years. Adopting a few key good habits early on can save you huge amounts of time, money, and frustration searching for things and recovering lost files. This workshop will provide a general introduction to core data management concepts, practical tips for things like backups and file formats, and a wealth of information about tools and resources available to UT faculty, staff, and students.

9/20: Intro to the Texas Advanced Computing Center (Charlie Dey)

Did you know UT’s Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) is home to some of the world’s most powerful computing resources? And that those resources are available for YOU? TACC's staff work with hundreds of researchers every day--across all disciplines--to enable computational research and aid discovery. They help researchers visualize results, manage data, and preserve it for the long term. This one-hour workshop will provide a brief overview of TACC’s high performance computing, visualization, and storage resources, and will walk you through how to request an allocation. No advanced computing skills required.

For people who are interested in migration, but also for anyone planning to create web-based resources and/or K-12 instructional resources as part of their ESI project.
