I Know What You Did Last Summer: My Internship with the NSF Award#1541450, Merging Science and Cyberinfrastructure Pathways Information ScIence Working Group.
Abstract:
Whole Tale is a collaboration led by the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, in collaboration with partners at the University of Chicago, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the University of Notre Dame.This past summer I was selected as the intern from 60 applicants to the NSF-funded project that will enable researchers to examine, transform and then seamlessly re-publish research data that was used in an article. I worked with mentors Peter Darch & Victoria Stodden (at a distance who are at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign). I worked on the Project title “Understanding Requirements for Infrastructure to Promote Reproducible Research. I’ll tell you what I did on the project, Conducting qualitative research (interviews, observation) and creating a series of use cases representing the team’s requirements for infrastructure to promote reproducible research. I’ll tell you why I did this, and why stepping outside my comfort zone has made me think differently about my dissertation topic.
