About the webinar

Got your hypothesis? Check. Collected data? Check. Got research cyberinfrastructure to store and analyze your data and share it with your collaborators? With CyVerse--absolutely! 

So now what? In our Get Started series, Research Data Scientists Michele Cosi and Jeff Gillan help you get started on your open science journey using your CyVerse account and the plentiful computational resources that come with it, covering key tasks like data transfers, finding apps, and launching and running apps. In this webinar, they cover the basics with a short focus on how to find and access interactive apps (VICE apps) in CyVerse like RStudio and Jupyter Notebooks and what CloudShell is and the basics of how to use it.

This "Get Started" webinar will be repeated in part during the semester, but subsequent webinars will emphasize different features, as listed below: 

October 11: Get Started + Using GoCommands to move data

November 1: Get Started + Sharing Data, Permissions, & Teams

November 15: Get Started + Basic Troubleshooting for Analysis Errors

 

What you'll learn

  • Where to get your free account and what important info you can find on the CyVerse dashboard
  • How to move data using the Discovery Environment GUI
  • How to find and launch Visual-Interactive apps like Jupyter Notebooks, RStudio, etc.
  • What CloudShell is and how to find and use it
