He proposes to build together a data story based  on the anecdotes, case studies and problems you encounter in managing your data. These are the material/files you produce and collect during your thesis: 404 error, hard drive crash or USB key loss, files with unclear names, pop-up window "oops impossible to open this file. The format is not supported", incomprehensible file name... The webinar aims to collectively provide tips and answers to these and other questions.
