About This Wiki

As for previous workshops, we will use this wiki to organize the sessions, to capture the input from them, and to develop next steps. Participants are encouraged to edit the wiki directly, including uploading plots or a few slides.

Hints for formatting this wiki can be found here

Posters, Fire slides and Randomized Coffee Trial

Attendees can introduce themselves or a new project/concept/idea with a one-minute, one-slide "fire slide." Two fire slide sessions will be held, end of the day on Thursday and Friday. Poster session is on Thursday evening right outside the Auditorium, you are very welcome to introduce your poster with a "fire slide". Please sign up for both using this form by the end of the day October 11th.

The Junior Scientist Advancement Committee is running a Randomized Coffee Trial as a way to create new connections for our junior members. Each junior member will be randomly paired with a senior member who they do not already know well. The only obligation is to meet and have at least a 10 minute conversation about your work over one of the coffee breaks. We encourage everyone (junior and senior) to sign up using this link by 5pm PDT on Tuesday, October 15.
