SUMMARY:Sharepoint Workflows for Research Data: Research Data Management Community of Practice
DESCRIPTION:Data management for a research group can add additional 
 complexity. Not only are you managing data\, you need to keep things 
 organized accross multiple people\, make sure everyone has access to the 
 data they need\, and make sure everyone's data is collected and backed up 
 so that nothing is lost. There are many potential tools out there that can 
 help with this\, and this month we're turning a spotlight on Microsoft 
 SharePoint. SharePoint is a secure place to store\, organize\, share\, and 
 access information from almost any device and all major web browsers. 
 McMaster provides free access to SharePoint for staff\, students\, and 
 faculty. Join us Thursday\, November 28 at 11 AM for a great discussion 
 between researchers and IT professionals!\n\nManish Katakam is a Senior 
 Systems Administrator at McMaster University Technology Services. In this 
 role\, he oversees the administration of SharePoint and the Power 
 Platform\, ensuring efficient and secure data management for staff and 
 faculty. With over five years of extensive experience in Business 
 Analysis\, Quality Assurance\, and Business Process Re-engineering\, Manish 
 has a diverse background that spans the Finance\, Insurance\, and Banking 
 industries. In his career\, Manish has held positions at Morgan Stanley\, 
 Red River Mutual Insurance\, and HSBC Bank\, where he honed his expertise 
 in Agile and Waterfall SDLC methodologies\, project management\, and 
 quality control. He holds certifications such as Certified associate in 
 project management (CAPM) and is an Associate Member of the Canadian 
 Institute of Management.\n\nAt McMaster University\, Manish has been 
 pivotal in implementing SharePoint and leading various migration projects\, 
 including the transition from network drives to SharePoint Online for 
 multiple departments. His proactive approach and technical expertise have 
 significantly improved the university’s data management practices.\n\n 
 \n\nDr. John McAndrews is the managing director of the Digital Society Lab 
 at McMaster University\, where he also holds an appointment as an adjunct 
 assistant professor in the Department of Political Science. His current 
 research projects examine public support for – and trust in – the use 
 of new technologies such as AI\; the automated detection of inaccurate 
 information in social networks\; and big-data approaches to better 
 understanding political behaviour. He is also interested in questions about 
 the quality of democratic representation and decision-making among 
 politicians and citizens alike.\n\nDr. Gabriel (Naiqi) Xiao is an Assistant 
 Professor (tenure track) in the Department of Psychology\, Neuroscience and 
 Behavior at McMaster University (Canada). Prior to this appointment in 
 2020\, Dr. Xiao received his Ph.D. degree at the University of Toronto 
 (Canada) in 2016 and worked as a post-doctoral associate at Princeton 
 University (USA) from 2017 to 2019.\n\nDr. Xiao is a leading researcher 
 with an established international reputation in early perceptual-social 
 development. His research aims to understand how real-world experiences 
 shape cognitive abilities in the early stages of life. A key aspect of 
 human development is our ability to adapt to the environment. This 
 adaptation enables infants to explore the world and lay the groundwork for 
 language and social skills that will emerge later in life. It is vital to 
 understand these processes both theoretically and practically\, as they 
 have important implications for detecting and treating developmental 
 disorders. To achieve these research goals\, Dr. Xiao’s lab uses various 
 research methods such as infant-friendly behavioral tasks\, eye-tracking\, 
 computational modeling\, and neonate/infant-friendly neuroimaging 
 techniques (functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy\, fNIRS). Besides using 
 classical research paradigms to study cognitive development\, his lab has 
 also pioneered innovations in research methodology by developing several 
 research software.
