SUMMARY:Finding Your Place in Science
DESCRIPTION:A reflective workshop on belonging\, identity\, and the paths of science\, guided by Madison author\, editor\, and writing mentor. All Welcome.\n\n\nFinding Your Place in Science: A Writing Workshop to Explore Scientific Identity \nOct. 20\, 3 pm\, Location: 1145 Discovery Building \nLight snacks provided \nMichelle Wildgen is an editor\, teacher\, and writer of literary fiction and essays\, as well as the author of four novels and cofounder of the Madison Writers’ Studio. \nA scientific identity – essentially\, whether a person feels they belong in the world of science —is associated with longevity and success in STEM-related fields. But what does it mean to belong in science? Does it matter if you identify as a science person? \nAs part of the Wisconsin Science Festival\, the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery is offering a writing workshop focused on scientific identity\, aimed at undergrad and graduate students\, but also open to the public. We’ll discuss some of the components researchers have identified as part of this sense of belonging in science; consider some of the conscious and unconscious assumptions we might have about who belongs in science; and expand our definitions and explore how varied a scientific identity can be. With a mix of discussion in small and large groups and impromptu writing\, we’ll investigate the broad concept of an identity and how it can be useful in the face of obstacles. Finally\, we’ll consider the more specific idea of belonging in the scientific realm\, what helps you find that sense of belonging and what might prevent it. \nThis workshop is not solely for people who already feel they belong–plenty of people study and work in science without being certain if they do–but for anyone who is interested in using writing and discussion to consider and clarify what this concept of scientific identity means to you.

SUMMARY:Geospatial Data Carpentry Workshop
DESCRIPTION:https://uw-madison-datascience.github.io/2025-06-02-uwmadison-dc-geospatial/\n\n\nThe goal of this workshop is to provide an introduction to core geospatial data concepts and dive into working with raster/vector data\, including how to open\, work with\, and plot vector and raster-format spatial data in R. Additional topics include working with spatial metadata (extent and coordinate reference systems)\, reprojecting spatial data\, and working with raster time series data. This lesson assumes you have some knowledge of R. If you’ve never used R before\, or need a refresher\, start with our Introduction to R for Geospatial Data lesson webpage.

SUMMARY:Intermediate Research Software Development with Python
DESCRIPTION:https://uw-madison-datascience.github.io/2025-03-24-uwmadison-intermedpython/\n\n\nIntermediate Research Software Development with Python aims to teach a core set of established\, intermediate-level software development skills and best practices for working as part of a team in a research environment using Python as an example programming language (see detailed learning objectives). The core set of skills we teach is not a comprehensive set of all-encompassing skills\, but a selective set of tried-and-tested collaborative development skills that forms a firm foundation for continuing on your learning journey.

SUMMARY:Trustworthy AI
DESCRIPTION:https://uw-madison-datascience.github.io/2024-12-02-uwmadison-trustworthyai/\n\n\nThis lesson equips participants with trustworthy AI/ML practices\, emphasizing fairness\, explainability\, reproducibility\, accountability\, and safety across three general data/model modalities: structured data (tabular)\, natural language processing (NLP)\, and computer vision. Participants will learn to evaluate and enhance the trustworthiness and reliability of models in each modality. Additionally\, they will explore how to integrate these principles into future models\, bridging ethical practices with practical applications in their research. \nThis is a pilot workshop\, testing out a lesson that is still under development. The lesson authors would appreciate any feedback you can give them about the lesson content and suggestions for how it could be further improved. \nWho: The course is aimed at graduate students and other researchers at UW Madison. Participants must have experience using Python and a basic understanding of machine learning (e.g.\, familiar with the concepts like train/test split and cross-validation) and should have trained at least one model in the past. Prior experience training neural networks is recommended to get the most out of this workshop. \nWhere: This training will take place online. The instructors will provide you with the information you will need to connect to this meeting. \nWhen: Dec 2-4\, 2024; 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Add to your Google Calendar.
