Join us for a workshop on the basics of two new data management tools: biobanking with OpenSpecimen and data visualization with Microsoft Power BI. This session will provide a general overview of these tools and how they can be used in research. Topics covered will include an introduction to OpenSpecimen and a demonstration of how the platform is used to collect, store and distribute bio-specimens; and an introduction of Power BI and how to integrate reports and dashboards to gain valuable data insights into your research.
