PD Sessions @ Zoom: Co-Piloting Without Crashing: More Research Management Hints and Tips (and Fun!)

AI can be a handy tool in what we do - great for speeding up brainstorming, drafting, and polishing. In this session, Shannon will walk through practical AI uses in research management and ways that teams can build a healthy AI culture, with plenty of live examples. You’ll leave with ideas you can immediately start using, feeling less panicked about the future and more empowered to make AI your assistant (not your replacement!).
