Upcoming panel discussion: How Does Remote Work Impact Creativity and Innovation?
by Gupta, Rinku K. 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

Dear All, We welcome you to attend this upcoming panel session. If you have questions about this panel series or suggestions for future panels, please contact IDEAS-ECP members at Argonne: Anshu Dubey, Lois McInnes Curfman, or me. We welcome your suggestions. Best, Rinku From: IDEAS Project Outreach Lead <IDEASProductivity(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: "IDEASProductivity(a)gmail.com" <IDEASProductivity(a)gmail.com> Date: Thursday, March 18, 2021 at 6:00 AM To: "Gupta, Rinku K." <rgupta(a)mcs.anl.gov> Subject: Upcoming panel discussion: How Does Remote Work Impact Creativity and Innovation? The next panel in the Strategies for Working Remotely<https://ideas-productivity.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5438ff2caf245…> series is: How Does Remote Work Impact Creativity and Innovation? 3:00pm - 4:15pm EDT Thursday, March 25, 2021 Panelists: * Addi Thakur Malviya (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) * Pat Quillen (Mathworks) * Elaine Raybourn (Sandia National Laboratories) * Damian Rouson (Sourcery Institute) * Francesca Samsel (TACC (Texas Advanced Computing Center) and University of Texas at Austin) Moderators: * Ashley Barker (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) Abstract: Many of us have been working remotely well over 13 months now due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve hosted 7 panel discussions since April 2020 that allowed us to share resiliency strategies for working remotely as most of us transitioned from co-located to fully virtual work. That said, 13 months and 7 panel discussions later, how much do we know about how working remotely and a phased return to “the office” will impact our creativity? Do we do our best work when isolated? What is it about serendipitous face-to-face interactions that we find difficult to replicate online? In our eighth installment of the panel discussion series, we explore the topics of creativity and innovation with software development teams who are applying agile techniques, thinking differently about co-located collaboration, and questioning the unintended effects of working remotely. Panelists will make brief introductory comments followed by open discussion. Questions can be submitted by the audience in advance to remote(a)acm.org. Discussion protocol: Attendees are asked to type in their name and brief question in the chat accompanying the panel discussion. We will call on people to ask their question verbally in the order received, curating for uniqueness. Participation is free. Registration is required. Registrants will also receive an email when the recording of the panel is available.

FW: Request for Research Highlight Slides
by Taylor, Valerie E. 14 Mar '21

14 Mar '21

Hello Everyone: This is a friendly reminder about research highlight slides. Thanks to staff who have already provided slides. It would be most helpful to have your slides by Tuesday, March 16. Thanks, Valerie From: "Taylor, Valerie E." <vtaylor(a)anl.gov> Date: Monday, February 15, 2021 at 7:35 PM To: "computing(a)anl.gov" <computing(a)anl.gov> Cc: "Taylor, Valerie E." <vtaylor(a)anl.gov>, Janet Werner <werner(a)mcs.anl.gov> Subject: Request for Research Highlight Slides Hello Everyone: It is that time of the year to request research highlight slides in preparation for our DOE ASCR Research Reverse Site Visit and other events. Research highlights focus on research accomplishments, broadly interpreted. Attached please find two files – DOE highlight template and four sample highlights. The template includes details on the components of the highlight slide (slides 1-3) and 3 different highlight formats (slides 4-6). For each highlight slide, it is important to include 1-2 paragraphs of prose or bullet points in the notes section of the slide to allow for others, such as program managers, to have sufficient information to include the highlight in a presentation. In the upper right corner of the slide, it is important to identify the funding for the research (e.g., ECP, LDRD, ASCR AM Base, SciDAC Institute RAPIDS, NSF, DoD, etc.). We welcome highlight slides that cover projects funded by other agencies , beyond DOE, or industry; please adjust the highlight template appropriately. The highlight slides provide a good summary of everyone’s work, thereby facilitating collaborations. For each highlight slide, please use the following file name convention: LastName-Topic-XXYY.pptx, where Topic is one of the 8 sub-folders provided and XXYY provides the date (e.g., 0218 for February 18). In this way, we can easily identify your latest version of a highlight. Slides should be uploaded to the appropriate subfolder in the following box folder: https://anl.app.box.com/folder/130013101661?s=yqo23wft4v99volzhbipojkt2agg7… Everyone is able to upload highlight slides into any of the following subfolders: Advanced Architectures AI-ML Applications Computational Science Data Management, Vis and Storage Systems Facilities (updates on JLSE, AI Testbed, Polaris, etc.) Foundations of ML, Data Analysis and Statistics Mathematical Optimization Operating Systems and Programming Models Other Highlights If you would like to delete one of your highlight slides, please contact Janet Werner (werner(a)mcs.anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>). It would be most helpful to have the slides by Tuesday, March 16. If you desire to highlight a new accomplishment in the future, please upload into the box folder.

New DOE rules for virtual meetings organized by foreign entities
by Habib, Salman 12 Mar '21

12 Mar '21

Hi Everyone, The DOE is now treating international virtual meetings as equivalent to real ones -- this means permission must be sought from the program office, see attached. Not a major change from how we do things, but something to keep in mind because of the time needed to get permission. Argonne will probably revise its own rules in response. Meantime, if you are planning to attend ANY virtual meeting organized by a foreign entity, please inform the division office well ahead of time. Thanks! Salman

As Kim mentioned in her email on March 4 (attached), Argonne was approved to provide vaccines, and the DOE has issued a COVID-19 Workplace Safety Plan. To help our teams understand the opportunities and implications of both, we are conducting a Vaccine Town Hall 2 and Safety Plan Discussion - Tuesday, March 16 at 11am. The Argonne community will receive an invitation as soon as we can. We look forward to hearing from Dion Antonopoulos, Dr. Lisa Pocius, Stephanie D’Angelo, and Paul Kearns. We understand this is short notice, so ask you to please arrange your calendars so you can attend, and encourage your teams to do so as well. DOE has expectations of high participation given the importance of both topics to their priorities and success. Thanks, Leslie
