Voices from the Field Brown Bag Speaker Series

Finding compatible research cultures in the field may be just as difficult–but is certainly just as important–as bridging different human cultures. For a recent project on foot-and-mouth disease, Rebecca Garabed experienced the juxtaposition of the research culture of a remote field team in Cameroon with that of the high-security US reference laboratory that was analyzing samples. Bridging these two worlds was necessary to obtain high-quality biological samples from the field and transfer them back to the US. Garabed will discuss this experience and the ways her team managed expectations with their collaborators to get what they needed within their capabilities. She will also discuss challenges related to data management and sharing in this type of setting.

Wednesday, September 27, 12-1 pm
