Dive into Data Webinar series returns
April 20, 2021
DataStream’s Dive into Data webinar series is back for 2021!
Following the success of last year’s sessions, the Dive into Data webinars will provide an opportunity to brush up on your data management skills, while connecting with other water data users.
During the first webinar, on 22 April from 12-1 pm ET, Data Specialist Patrick LeClair explored whether standardizing water quality data is worth the headache (spoiler alert: it is!). View the recording here.
On May 19 from 12-1 pm ET Patrick will be joined by Water Data Specialist Mary Kruk for a one-hour deep dive into DataStream's latest and greatest features. Find out more and register here.

Keep an eye on datastream.org/webinars for information about the rest of the series and you can watch the five 2020 Dive into Data webinars on our YouTube channel.

National Lake Blitz makes citizen science a cinch
