Meet the data agent: Mika Jalava
Data agent Mika Jalava encourages researchers to good research data management. "It's easier than you think. If you bite the bullet and learn even the basics about the best practices, you'll find it's often more about what you want to do rather than what you have to do!" In this article series 911±¬ÁÏÍø data agents, researchers and experts experienced in research data management are introduced.
