Talk tomorrow by Gary Geernaert (Director EESSD/BER)
by Habib, Salman 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

Hi Everyone, Gary is speaking tomorrow at 10am on a general topic which should be of considerable interest to junior and mid-career staff. Please do listen in and ask questions. I have known Gary for a long time -- he brings highly relevant experience from both sides of the fence. Best Salman CELS-EVS Seminar Speaker: Gary Geernaert, Director of the EESSD Division in BER Date: Thursday, January 7, 2021 Time: 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. Host: Cristina Negri Bluejeans: https://bluejeans.com/903697207/3753?src=calendarLink / Meeting ID: 903 697 207 Targeted Audience: All invited - early/mid-career scientist target “A Dialog on Careers within a National Lab and the Role of DOE” Abstract: The presentation will begin with a brief overview of the integrated science enterprise, then transition into four specific questions that have been posed by ANL early career staff: (1) The DOE science enterprise: what is its mission and how does that translate to expectations for scientists in the National Lab complex (how is it different from other research funding organization and what are the specific aspects that make research at National Labs different than academia); (2) How do Divisions and Program Managers in DOE shape their programs, what makes their program successful, and how should an early-mid-career scientist engage with them to build a solid science career; (3) How can an early/mid-career scientist at a National Lab propose new ideas and build a scientific reputation (what does a scientist need to know in terms of timing, initial idea vetting, setting a broader context/vision and other advice for socializing ideas and whitepapers); and (4) How important are multi-institution collaborations in BER programs. Bio: Gerald (Gary) Geernaert is Director, Earth and Environmental System Sciences Division, in the US Department of Energy (DOE), in Washington DC. He oversees and directs basic scientific research at DOE National Laboratories and Universities, involving atmospheric, climate, and environmental sciences. In addition, he is the federal official responsible for two DOE scientific user facilities, i.e., the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) research facility and the Environmental Molecular Science Laboratory (EMSL). Geernaert serves as DOE Principal to several NSTC committees, including the US Global Change Research Program; and he is the co-chair of the newly formed Committee on Research and Innovation within the Interagency Council for Advancing Meteorological Services (ICAMS). Dr. Geernaert earned a B.S. degree in Atmospheric Sciences from the University of California, Davis; and he received a PhD degree in Atmospheric Sciences from the University of Washington. In prior positions, Dr. Geernaert was Director, Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics, at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL); Director, Atmospheric Environment Department, Danish National Environmental Research Institute; and Program Manager at the US Office of Naval Research. He has written and published 4 technical books and over 100 journal articles and reports throughout his career; and he is a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society.

Moving on to a new chapter in my career
by Balaji, Pavan 18 Dec '20

18 Dec '20

Dear all, As many of you have already heard, I have recently accepted an offer with Facebook and will be moving in a month. January 22nd will be my last day at Argonne (assuming that I’m able to transfer all of my funding to other folks at Argonne before that). I will certainly miss Argonne and all of the smart and wonderful people that I have had the opportunity to work with during my time here. But after spending 15 years here, I want to see what else is out there so I don’t regret not having done that later in life. I want to thank you all for the wonderful collaboration, interactions, and friendships over the past 15 years. I’ll still be in HPC research (although, more focused on HPC for AI, rather than HPC for scientific computing), so I’ll likely see many of you at various conferences and meetings. As Rick said to me when I gave him the news — I’m not leaving Argonne — I’m simply extending Argonne’s reach to Facebook. :-) Regards, — Pavan P.S.: I’m working with Valerie to maintain either a joint appointment or guest appointment at Argonne. So my Argonne email address will still be valid for a while. But, I’m also available at pavanbalaji(a)gmail.com if you want to reach out and grab a drink at any time (after COVID, of course). -- Computing mailing list Computing(a)anl.gov https://lists.cels.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/computing

FW: CPS Special Seminar NOW
by Tezak, Samantha L. 17 Dec '20

17 Dec '20

The special CPS Seminar by Dr. Robert J. Hanisch will begin in 5 minutes CPS will host a special seminar by Dr. Robert J. Hanisch on Thursday, December 17 at 11:00 AM CT. Join via Zoom: https://argonne.zoomgov.com/j/1607352298?pwd=U3J0dGpTNEZhT292dUdZSFJkRkZ6UT… Dr. Robert J. Hanisch Director, Office of Data and Informatics, Material Measurement Laboratory National Institute of Standards and Technology Dr. Robert J. Hanisch is the director of the Office of Data and Informatics (ODI) within the Material Measurement Laboratory at NIST (since July 2014). He is focused on providing data management and dissemination services for NIST research data products, including the Standard Reference Data collection and the Materials Genome Initiative. He is active in national and international data sharing and interoperability initiatives such as the National Data Service Consortium and the Research Data Alliance. The preliminary draft of the NIST work on the Research Data Framework can be accessed at https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/research-data-framework-rdaf “Data Management at NIST and the NIST Research Data Framework” Over the past several years NIST has embarked on a number of initiatives to improve the management and dissemination of research data. These include the development of a NIST-wide public data repository, deployment of a Configurable Data Curation System, development of data discovery platforms through resource registries, use of electronic lab notebooks, and development of a laboratory information management system (LIMS) for electron microscopy. We also participate in research data organizations such as CODATA, the Research Data Alliance, the World Data System, and GO-FAIR, and in a number of federal advisory committees and National Academy events. Starting a year ago we also initiated work on a Research Data Framework (RDaF), the goals of which are to document the research data landscape and provide organizations with guidance on how to plan, operate, and maintain a research data infrastructure. In 2021 we intend to run two pilot projects to test the RDaF concept: a discipline-oriented study in materials science and a broad stakeholder study with research universities, libraries, and scholarly publishers. -- Computing mailing list Computing(a)anl.gov https://lists.cels.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/computing

Hi Everyone, The annual Lab report cards from DOE/SC are out: https://science.osti.gov/lp/Laboratory-Appraisal-Process/FY-2020 Argonne did especially well this year, possibly the best assessment we have ever had, although I can't be sure about this. In any case, kudos to all of you for the impressive work performed under especially difficult circumstances! We can raise a glass (or two) to the report card tomorrow at 5pm, hope to see you there -- All the Best Salman
