The Data to Discovery Series is hosted by Research Data Services (RDS) @ the UCSB Library. Every two weeks, we spotlight a key principle of working with data and engaging in open science. Each 30-minute session is designed to be concise, practical, and accessible for researchers at all career stages. For Winter 2026, this series will focus on data visualization and visual communication. Whether you’re starting out or refining existing work, Data to Discovery offers a welcoming space to strengthen your skills and spark new ideas.
