Describe your research in 2-3 sentences to someone that is not from your field (please avoid abbreviations)
My research focuses on the development of a new method to study the mobility patterns in humans. By analysing the neodymium isotope composition of the enamel of human teeth you can provide an approximation of where the individual grew up (as the isotopic composition is related to the food/water you consume.)
My research entails the following aspects:
Research Aspect
Answer
Use/collect personal data (health data, interviews, surveys)
Yes
Use/collect experimental data (lab experiments, measurements with instruments)
Yes
Collaborate with industry
No
Write/develop software as the main output of the project
No
Use code (as in programming) for data analysis
Yes
Work with large data (images, simulation models)
No
Other:
N/A
Reflections on the importance of RDM videos
I think RDM is very important in ensuring that you built your conclusions on the correct data. I haven't lost any digital data during my PhD but I guess I could have spent less time looking for the correct version!
What would you like to learn during this course?
I would love to learn about your challenges and see if there is anything I can do to make things easier. I'm also happy to receive any feedback about this course and the format - always happy to improve!
