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

Salman, I am locked out of basecamp. It is long story... I found a folder entitled "Highlight Slides 2021" on Box. is the powerpoint entitled HighlightTemplate.pptx describe the format I should use? * John J. Low Principal Computational Science Specialist Computing, Environment and Life Sciences Building 240, 2143 9700 South Cass Avenue Argonne National Laboratory Argonne, IL 60439. 630-252-0045 www.linkedin.com/pub/john-low/15/8b0/5aa/ ________________________________ From: cps-employees <cps-employees-bounces(a)lists.anl.gov> on behalf of Habib, Salman <habib(a)anl.gov> Sent: Monday, March 1, 2021 2:26 PM To: cps-all(a)anl.gov <cps-all(a)anl.gov> Subject: Reverse Site Visit highlight slides Hi Everyone, It's the time of the year to do our slides for the ASCR reverse site visit. The aim is to get these done in two weeks, by March 16. We did this last time in Basecamp first and then uploaded to Box. We will do the same this year. Go to the Docs & Files in the CPS Basecamp and look for the Reverse Site Visit Folder: https://3.basecamp.com/3115476/buckets/11926740/vaults/2509687224 This folder has the slides from 2020 and 2021 in subfolders. In some cases you may wish to use the slides you had from 2020 as a starting point for the 2021 slides. If you have questions, please ping me. Best Salman Here's some more info from Valerie Taylor: 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:

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

Need info on computational servioces
by Habib, Salman 09 Mar '21

09 Mar '21

HI Everyone, I was talking to Craig Stacey today and we decided it would be a good idea to make a list of all the helper services we use to do science, especially the cloud-based ones. The aim is to ensure continued support of these services. Please add to the starter list at: https://3.basecamp.com/3115476/buckets/11926740/messages/3551565683 Thanks! Salman

Re: Zoom at Argonne
by Alexeev, Yuri 09 Mar '21

If you have a UChicago affiliation then you can use UChicago's Zoom, which has no limitations compared to Zoomgov. This is what I use every day since I find BlueJeans cumbersome to use and it seems like nobody really uses it outside a few government agencies. At the same time, Microsoft Teams is buggy and cumbersome also.
