We’re reviving social hour this week to create a space to informally check in on what’s a big week for many of us. Social hour has no agenda – and you can come for as little or as much as you like. You don’t need to come from the start – just drop in whenever works for you.
In the past, this shared space has been a good way to make new connections, to explore challenges, swop interesting readings / Netflix shows, talk through culture in scholarly communications, career transitions and a lot more besides.

CSCCE Data Science SIG Panel
2021-01-21 13:00 - 14:00 | https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82514856058?pwd=[REDACTED]
Building Community around Data Sharing and Data Harmonization
In the spirit of open research, many data-focused communities are focused on bringing researchers together to share common datasets. In some fields of research, this type of sharing has previously been uncommon, and domain-wide standards may not be in place for data sharing (ie. data type, format, and quality assurance standards). In this SIG meeting, we will hear from CSCCE members representing communities across a range of maturity with respect to data sharing and data harmonization. The panel will be followed by questions and discussion about how we can support one another to build stronger community around data. Panelists:

Pajau Vangay – National Microbiome Data Collaborative
Erin McLean – Arctic Data Center
Zoe Leanza – AD Knowledge Portal
Alycia Crall – National Ecological Observatory Network

This is a meeting of the CSCCE Data Science SIG.

2021-05-18 12:00 - 13:00 | https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89811986264?pwd=[REDACTED]
Many data science and data science adjacent organizations are grappling with the ethical implications of the work led by their communities and the field more broadly.
