PERSONA
Name:
Corin Taylor, Ph.D
User Type:
Researcher (Grad Student, Post-doc)
Quote:
UCSF isn't the kind of place where you freely admit that you don't know something (a technique, a data analysis method).
I'd like to learn how to do X in a safe, non-judgmental place.
This user needs support and community both to relieve stress and be successful, but they can’t risk being seen as as needy or incapable by their peers.
Goals & Needs
Obstacles & Pain Points
Opportunities
I need access to (and training on) software to analyze data (big data ... genomic data)
I have exhausted the information network in my lab ... and UCSF isn't the kind of place where you admit what you don't know. I'm looking for hands-on, intro-level help ... a class? office hours?
I don't have much $$$ to spend
Expand software licensing or work stations with needed software & the classes to support them
Offer training in R/Python
I need space outside of the lab for
working in a group and/or
spreading out materials as I write up a manuscript
UCSF isn't a very nurturing place (very lab- dependent) so I'd like to create my own community so we can learn X together
Encourage research community building by hosting Meet-ups/Happy Hours on data analysis
Give Corin information on how to host your own meet-up
