Curriculum goals

Today I was asked to lead on a data management curriculum initiative. This was something that I had intended to do already, but this was also a goal of our data management group. I will be officially in charge of getting it completed. I have a few reservations on creating a curriculum by committee. Mostly it has to do with making the overall product bland.

What I am thinking of now, is that it would be a good time to get in touch with a few of my former instructors for some advice and insider tips. I had been meaning to but didn’t know how to approach it.

There’s a lot to think about with this project. I have some research to do about what is currently being done. I will need to find out what the requirements are for getting it approved and how. I also have the idea of partnering with a specific biomedical training program in a way that we could offer a good laboratory practices certificate.

There’s not much thinking I can do about this today. I have a headache I have been denying the whole day and is now demanding attention; I’m hungry; and tomorrow will be a busy end to the week.

Plus I just finished Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert and I want to immediately start over and this time take notes.
