This webinar took place on 22 September 2021. Event description  Developed for bench biologists and bioinformaticians, The Department of Energy Systems Biology Knowledgebase (KBase) is a free, open source, software and data science platform designed to meet the grand challenge of systems biology: predicting and designing biological function. This webinar will provide an overview of the KBase mission and user community, as well as a tour of the online platform and basic functionality. You’ll learn how KBase can support your research: Upload data, run analysis tools (Apps), share your analysis with collaborators, and publish your data and reproducible workflows. We’ll highlight a brand new feature that enables users to link environment and measurement data to sequencing data. You’ll also find out how KBase supports findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) research by providing open, reproducible, shareable bioinformatics workflows.

This webinar took place on 19 August 2021. Bioinformatics analyses are often complex, requiring multiple software tools and specialised compute resources. “I don’t know what compute resources I will need”, “My analysis won’t run and I don’t know why” and "Just getting it to work" are common pain points for researchers. In this webinar, you will learn how to understand the compute requirements for your bioinformatics workflows. You will also hear about ways of accessing compute that suits your needs as an Australian researcher, including Galaxy Australia, cloud and high-performance computing services offered by the Australian Research Data Commons, the National Compute Infrastructure (NCI) and Pawsey.  We also describe bioinformatics and computing support services available to Australian researchers.  This webinar was jointly organised with the Sydney Informatics Hub at the University of Sydney.

A hands on introduction to Large Language Models like Bing Chat and ChatGPT https://dresa.org.au/materials/a-hands-on-introduction-to-large-language-models-like-bing-chat-and-chatgpt Event run 7 June at the MQ Incubator. Event description: A two-hour hands-on workshop giving a brief history of the last 4 months of development of "Generative AI." These tools, these Large Language Models, offer present promise and peril -- disruption -- to ways of working and of learning. Outside the "hype," these tools are "calculators for words" and allow the same manipulation and reflection of a user's words as a calculator offers for a user's numbers. The workshop will guide users into using various free and paid tools, and the effective use of Large Language Models through chain of thought prompting. Remember: a LLM is "Always confident and usually correct." OSF Description (LLM generated): This two-hour workshop provides a comprehensive introduction to the world of Large Language Models (LLMs), focusing on the recent advancements in Generative AI. Participants will gain insights into the development and functionality of prominent LLMs such as Bing Chat and ChatGPT. The workshop will delve into the concept of LLMs as "calculators for words," highlighting their potential to revolutionize ways of working and learning. The session will explore the principles of Prompt Engineering and Transactional Prompting, demonstrating how consistent prompts can yield reliable and reproducible results. Participants will also learn about the practical applications of LLMs, including editing and proofreading papers, generating technical documentation, recipe ideation, and more. The workshop emphasizes the importance of understanding the terms of use and the responsibilities that come with using these powerful AI tools. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to effectively use LLMs in various contexts, guided by the mantra that a LLM is "Always confident and usually correct."

It is available for others to use and modify. The course introduces the following topics: data policies, data sensitivity, data management planning, storage and security, organisation and metadata, benefits of data sharing, licensing, repositories, and best practice including the FAIR principles. Embedded activities and examples help extend learner experience and awareness. The course was designed to assist research students and early career researchers in complying with policies and legislative requirements, understand safe data practices, raise awareness of the benefits of data curation and data sharing (efficiency and impact) and equip them with the required knowledge to plan their data management early in their projects. This course is divided into four sections 1. Crawl - What is Research Data and why care for it? Policy and legislative requirements. The Research Data Life-cycle. Data Management Planning (~30 mins) 2. Walk - Data sensitivity, identifiability, storage, and security (~60 mins) 3. Run - Record keeping, data retention, file naming, folder structures, version control, metadata, data sharing, open data, licences, data repositories, data citation, and ethics (~75 mins) 4. Jump - Best practice FAIR data principles (~45 mins) 5. Fight - Review - a quiz designed to review and reinforce knowledge (~15 mins) https://rise.articulate.com/share/-AWqSPaEI_jTbHwzQHdmQ43R50edrCl0 * *Password: "FAIR" *Password: "FAIR" Any queries or suggestions for course improvement can be directed to the Macquarie University Research Integrity Team: Dr Paul Sou (paul.sou@mq.edu.au) or Dr Shannon Smith (shannon.smith@mq.edu.au).
