Hi Peter,
I like how you listed and detailed all the data you will handle and the flow. I was wondering about the membranes you are creating, would you also consider them as 'data' themselves?
Thanks for sharing assignment 2 @PJL-vandenberg! It looks very clear and comprehensive and I really like how you visualised the data collection process! Well done!
Hi Peter,

You're right. The membranes also degrade over time, so treating them as data themselves seems like a mistake on my part. The data I meant is the protocol for making the membranes so that the membranes can be reproduced.
Hi Peter,
Nice explanations in all the themes!
Regarding, documentation and metadata, Do you think that, at some point, having a data dictionary would be useful to explain the variables in your excels? that is, if for example, you would use abbreviations for the column headers.
Regarding access, I see you would use SURFdrive to share documents. I am not super familiar with it, but could you modify documents in collaboration too? and be able to see the changes 'real-time'?

Thanks for sharing assignment 3 @PJL-vandenberg! It looks very detailed, comprehensive and clear - so I actually don't have any feedback for you this time! The only thing I saw missing was the software license preference, but you indicated MIT license in #66.
I would also be interested in @msegami1's question about a data dictionary: would you consider that helpful or not and why?
I don't think you can use SURFdrive to collaborate in real time - maybe in the browser but I haven't tried this. This does seem to work well for documents on Teams/Sharepoint and perhaps Onedrive?
Introduction
Hi everyone! My name is Peter van den Berg. I am a PhD student in the SEE group, specializing in hybrid solid-state electrolytes. I like playing basketball and playing (video/board/tabletop) games in my spare time.
Describe your research in 2-3 sentences to someone that is not from your field (please avoid abbreviations)
My research is focused on replacing the liquid in commercial lithium-ion batteries with a solid polymer/metal blend, because it will reduce the risk of flammability that currently plagues batteries. We use a blend of polymer and metal, because polymers are physically stable, but not very conductive, while the metallic part is conductive, but not very stable, so we wish to combine the benefits of both.
My research entails the following aspects:
Reflections on the importance of RDM videos
The main reason I think Research Data Management is necessary for proper scientific inquiry is the reproducibility of data, and the continuity of research. When my friend and I were doing our MSc research, we both had very different predecessors, whose research we were working off of. My predecessor had clearly written everything down, allowing me to find a tiny difference in the acidity level between my measurement method and his that sparked an entirely new area of investigation, while my friend's predecessor had written down mostly final answers, leaving my friend wracking his brain why his yield was much lower given the steps were the same. So that goes to show for me, that writing every step down is crucial, even if not for you, for those who come next.
What would you like to learn during this course?
In this course I am hoping to learn a few more tricks on how to properly organize data. Right now I have folders for specific types of data, and when it gets too large, I try to subcategorize, but a good oversight of where everything goes could be improved upon. ### Checklist assignments
