Summary:

"y turning early career researchers with specific skill needs into long-term advocates for data practices that support transparency and reproducibility, Data Carpentry hopes to catalyze change to research and instructional culture worldwide. Our workshops are in high demand, usually filling up within days of opening, and people are lining up to volunteer to teach with us. We’re building growth in new regions, including Central and South America and Africa, and academic domains in the social sciences and humanities. We’re also developing ways for local communities of researchers to continue learning after our workshops.

Together we’re working to make that common story of hitting a 'data pain point' a less common one. That bright new graduate student might instead be a Carpentry instructor, bringing data literacy to a campus near you. They could also be a powerful advocate for an academic system where every researcher is equipped to organize and share data so that others can reproduce and reuse it, improving the quality and reliability of research."
