Join us for our Talk Tuesday on October 8, 2024 at 4p.

Dr. Anthony Arendt, Senior Data Science Fellow and the Director of Community Engagement at the University of Washington's eScience Institute.

The practice of open science, with its focus on data sharing, reproducibility and co-development of software, has the potential to accelerate and improve the quality of our research. In this talk I will share lessons we have learned in fostering open science communities engaged in Arctic research. I will link these efforts to ongoing research within iHARP and offer some best practices that support continued collaboration, data sharing and model development. Topics will include the creation of cloud computing infrastructure, open science training and skills development, community engagement and research software design.
