Title: Bustin' Chemistry Myths: Understanding Research Data Management at RWTH Aachen University's Inorganic Lab
Watch out science geeks! Ever since the ol' lab coat-wearing crew at RWTH Aachen University decided to digitize their bad self, research data management (RDM) has been making serious waves in the world of chemistry. And ain't no fifth-semester student gonna miss out on this game-changer when it comes to their bachelor thesis!
Yep, that's right—these soon-to-be- chemist maestros are already jumping on the RDM bandwagon before even starting their thesis. To get the lowdown, they've been hitting up some RDM videos that make the concepts easy to swallow.
Now, it's not just a random web of information thrown together. The University's dedicated RDM team is ensuring these videos shed light on RDM in the context of chemistry, making it all the more digestible. And speaking of practical experiments, students are using that electronic lab journal, Chemotion, to put their RDM knowledge to the test during—you guessed it—the ferrocene synthesis!
Want to join this knowledge party? You can find these RDM videos on the our consortium YouTube channel. We're currently gathering student feedback on the videos to make sure we exceed your expectations. So grab a front-row seat and let's get this RDM show on the road!
P.S. Disclaimer: What happens in the lab, stays in the lab... unless, of course, you want to share your RDM aha! moments with your fellow students and the world.
Fact Bits:
