Dr. Imker believes researchers should view this as an opportunity to regard their research data as an integral part of scholarly work. \u00a0Sharing of data results in a more collaborative research environment and increased visibility for researchers.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to her position as Director of RDS, she\u00a0was the Executive Director of the Enzyme Function Initiative, a large-scale collaborative center involving nine universities, funded by the National Institutes of Health, and located in the Institute for Genomic Biology. She\u00a0holds a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Illinois, and did her postdoctoral research at the Harvard Medical School.<\/p>\n<p>During her stay in Iowa City, Dr. Imker will tour the University and is scheduled to meet with campus administrators and also work\u00a0with the Research Data Interest Group.<\/p>\n<p>Please contact us at <a href=\"mailto:lib-data@uiowa.edu\">lib-data@uiowa.edu<\/a> if you have any questions.\u00a0To RSVP, please visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/tiny.cc\/Data11-11-15\" >http:\/\/tiny.cc\/Data11-11-15<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UI Libraries is pleased&nbsp;to announce that Dr. Heidi Imker will visit the University of Iowa campus in&nbsp;November.
