Fwd: You're Invited: Argonne Child Development Center Information Session

21 Jun '20

Needless to say, all concerned parents should attend this session. Best Salman -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: You're Invited: Argonne Child Development Center Information Session Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2020 05:12:37 +0000 From: Argonne Newsroom <ArgonneNewsroom(a)anl.gov><mailto:[email protected]> Reply-To: Argonne Newsroom <ArgonneNewsroom(a)anl.gov><mailto:[email protected]> To: habib(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> View this email in your browser<https://mailchi.mp/anl.gov/argonne-child-development-953842?e=b836ce98a8> [Argonne National Laboratory]<https://anl.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=12b0bf5a3c2bf2e87f5cab8a4&id=…> SAVE THE DATE June 23, 2020 [https://mcusercontent.com/12b0bf5a3c2bf2e87f5cab8a4/images/f50f6006-f0a3-4f…] Argonne Child Development Center Information Session Join us for a half-hour presentation by Bright Horizons, the lab’s partner in the Argonne Child Development Center<https://anl.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=12b0bf5a3c2bf2e87f5cab8a4&id=…>,<https://anl.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=12b0bf5a3c2bf2e87f5cab8a4&id=…> to learn about enrollment, schedules, and safety precautions in place for the center’s re-opening on Monday, July 6. Bright Horizons is offering full- and part-time childcare, as well as a summer camp for children 6 to 14 years old. This brief overview is suited for families who have not recently enrolled children in the center. Argonne encourages all employees with children (or grandchildren) to consider this resource as we transition to normal operations. To accommodate schedules as we bring more people and projects back on-site, employees will be able to work at their desks on days their children are at the Argonne Child Development Center—or other local childcare when it becomes available. (Experimental work must follow all existing protocols; if a research project has not been approved to restart, site access will not change that.)

CPS Focus Area Organization
by Habib, Salman 21 Jun '20

21 Jun '20

Hi Everyone, Things have -- quite understandably -- been rather difficult lately, but we do have to return to a number of very important tasks in order to build up Divisional activities and programs going forward. There is, of course, considerable uncertainty in how we will get back to a more normal mode of interaction, but I feel we have to make the best of the current situation and move as quickly as possible. A number of informal conversations have been going on with other Directorates (and internally with CELS) regarding cross-cutting collaboration possibilities (joint positions, shared postdocs/students). In order to properly exploit these nascent opportunities, the focus area groups need to start building some sort of coherent picture within their own domains. For some of us, this will necessarily entail expansion of the scope of our work and interests beyond current individual horizons. I would like to emphasize that, in general, this is a good thing, and should be viewed as a natural component of career development. These activities are also essential to building a global (and currently no doubt aspirational) vision for CPS as a singular reference point for computational science at the Lab. Success in doing so is essential for growing the Division in new directions, while maintaining, strengthening, and revitalizing current efforts. Please check that your interests are correctly identified here: https://3.basecamp.com/3115476/buckets/11926740/documents/1836079992 The POCs for the various working groups (WGs) are identified below. I would like conversations to start happening within the WGs -- organized by the POCs -- on a regular basis with informal reporting during the Monday division meetings and at our other virtual interactions. Samantha will send a doodle poll link to each WG so you can set up meetings for your individual discussions; the smaller WGs can of course be more informal in their approach, but the POCs should make sure that everyone in their WG (whether with a primary or secondary interest) is included in the conversations. Each group can have its own set of agenda items, however, I would like the following points to be part of each group's discussions and be specifically addressed in an eventual report (we'll work out a template). * Identification of scientific directions enabled by exascale computing * Identification of scientific directions enabled by the use of AI/ML+data science * Identification of a set of the most fruitful collaboration points 1) within Argonne (higher priority), and 2) external to Argonne * Identification of key thrust areas that the WG feels are the most relevant to the future of the field * Identification of possible cross-cuts with other WGs within CPS We'll carry out a similar exercise later on for the capability areas, but let's get this done first. I would like each area to have a draft report done by the end of July (not too long, say 5 pages). This is a hard deadline. I will hijack the Tuesday Divisional Lunch (June 23rd) for further discussions, where we can go more deeply into various issues and people should be ready with questions and suggestions (hopefully more of the latter!).

Day passes
by Habib, Salman 19 Jun '20

19 Jun '20

Hi Everyone, For those people who need to come in and pick something up (but not to work), you can get day passes (allow a week of processing) by sending email to daypass(a)cels.anl.gov. This is for dropping in occasionally, not for a setting up a regular pattern. Best Salman

17 Jun '20

Hello, Starting this week, we are expanding the Computing Coffee Hours to include EVS and BIO. The new name is the CELS Coffee Time. The goal is the same of providing an opportunity for everyone to learn about each other’s current work to enable more collaborations. The coffee time take place on Wednesdays, 2pm – 3pm. The speaker for today is Maoyuan Sun and the title of his talk is “Engaging Data with Visual Analytics”. Please participate by using Maoyuan’s Zoom info: Join Zoom Meeting https://us04web.zoom.us/j/73703034462?pwd=TlVOSVZRT3hzSmcrdXcrenRjcTFDZz09 Meeting ID: 737 0303 4462 Password: 4jU0rd Janet Werner Mathematics & Computer Science Division of Argonne National Laboratory (630) 252-3050 jwerner(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> -- Computing mailing list Computing(a)anl.gov https://lists.cels.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/computing
