|
8 | | -## Data Sets |
| 7 | +RDM involves practices and choices that simplify the process of finding, comprehending, |
| 8 | +and utilizing research data for you, your collaborators, and your future self. These |
| 9 | +practices encompass the entire data lifecycle, from collection and analysis to sharing |
| 10 | +and reuse. Research is hard enough as it is without having to |
| 11 | +fight with your files, so the goal of data management is for you to maximize |
| 12 | +your time doing research instead of spending extra time with file handling. |

11 | | -FIXME: place any data you want learners to use in `episodes/data` and then use |
12 | | - a relative link ( [data zip file](data/lesson-data.zip) ) to provide a |
13 | | - link to it, replacing the example.com link. |

15 | | -Download the [data zip file](https://example.com/FIXME) and unzip it to your Desktop |

17 | | -## Software Setup |
| 16 | +Emphasize that proper Research Data Management is a way to make dealing with data |
| 17 | +a better experience. It allows for understanding your data even after comming back |
| 18 | +to it after a long period of time. |

| 22 | +## Why do RDM |

23 | | -Setup for different systems can be presented in dropdown menus via a `spoiler` |
24 | | -tag. They will join to this discussion block, so you can give a general overview |
25 | | -of the software used in this lesson here and fill out the individual operating |
26 | | -systems (and potentially add more, e.g. online setup) in the solutions blocks. |
| 24 | +Most researchers have spent time, at some point in their careers, digging through |
| 25 | +their computer to find a specific file that can’t be located. It’s incredibly frustrating |
| 26 | +and a waste of time and resources, especially if you end up recollecting |
| 27 | +missing data. The good news is that it is possible to avoid this situation entirely |
| 28 | +by strategically managing your data better. |

34 | | -Use PuTTY |
| 42 | +- RDM is really about helping researchers understand their data |
| 43 | +- RDM helps researchers keep their data safe and backed up |
| 44 | +- RDM helps researchers use their data even after leaving it for a long period |
| 45 | +- RDM allows you to more easily share your research data |
