From: IDEAS Project Outreach Lead <IDEASProductivity(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: "IDEASProductivity(a)gmail.com" <IDEASProductivity(a)gmail.com> Date: Wednesday, April 1, 2020 at 7:00 AM To: "McInnes, Lois Curfman" <curfman(a)anl.gov> Subject: Panel discussion: Strategies for Working Remotely You may be interested in this timely interactive panel discussion presented by the Exascale Computing Project, and featuring several members of the IDEAS Productivity <https://ideas-productivity.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5438ff2caf245…> project as panelists... Strategies for Working Remotely: Advice from Colleagues with Experience <https://ideas-productivity.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5438ff2caf245…>3:00-4:30pm ET Friday, April 3, 2020 Abstract: Working remotely has suddenly become a near-universal experience for staff members of research organizations, but for some it has been a way of life for years. In this panel discussion, we bring together five staff members of U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories, all members of the DOE Exascale Computing Project (ECP), with years of varied experience working remotely. Topics include advice to people just getting started with working remotely, challenges, unforeseen benefits, and opportunities to look for from this experience, with emphasis on issues faced by collaborating teams in computational research. Panelists will make brief introductory comments followed by open discussion. Discussion protocol: Attendees are asked to type in their name and brief question in the Zoom chat panel. We will call on people to ask their question verbally in the order received, curating for uniqueness. Moderator: Mike Heroux, Sandia National Laboratories Panelists: * Mike Bernhardt, Oak Ridge National Laboratory * Lois Curfman McInnes, Argonne National Laboratory * Mark Miller, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory * Kathryn Mohror, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory * Elaine Raybourn, Sandia National Laboratories Participation is free, but registration is required.

Fwd: PANDA Reminder
by Habib, Salman 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

FYI -- if you have publications that have not been submitted to PANDA, now's your chance to do it. Best Salman _____________ Hello, Now is a good time to dig up all the papers you have written and have them processed through the Argonne Panda system. As such, please send an email along with the “CELS PANDA Request Form” (attached as a pdf form) and the pre-submittal manuscript or conference presentation to PANDA(a)cels.anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> OR by filling out the PANDARequest web form<https://anlpress.cels.anl.gov/forms/cels-forms/panda-request-form/>. The PANDA processor will then make the PANDA entry on your behalf. After the document is accepted/published, please forward a PDF of the Publisher Accepted Manuscript to PANDA(a)cels.anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> for DOI and publication date inclusion into PANDA. This final step allows for closeout and reporting to OSTI as well as automatic inclusion into the anl.gov divisional publication websites. Thank you,

IMPORTANT: Clarification about highlight slides
by Habib, Salman 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

Hi Everyone, Thanks to all those people who have uploaded their highlight slides on Basecamp. At this point, we are also asking people to put in highlight slides, even for work not funded by ASCR. This is so we can promote collaboration across CELS and the laboratory. So please do follow the template instructions and add in slides for non-ASCR work as well in Basecamp. I will send individual reminders later today. Best Salman

Week 3 begins --
by Habib, Salman 30 Mar '20

30 Mar '20

Hi Everyone, As we enter week #3 of remote work, I hope all of you are doing well (or at least as well as can be expected in the circumstances), and most importantly, keeping safe. I think it'll be very helpful for us to have some informal interactions where we can discuss science, computing, CPS ideas, and anything else. I am suggesting one informal virtual lunch meeting every week and another virtual happy hour in the late afternoon/evening for a more free-wheeling interaction. Doodle polls have been set up by Samantha: Lunch: https://doodle.com/poll/26gx66q8nbrrait2 Happy Hour: https://doodle.com/poll/9m8nbmxqbswiw2te As always, Tim and I are available to help in any way we can. Keep in touch! Salman

Fwd: Support for NSF researchers to collaborate with European scientists
by Habib, Salman 28 Mar '20

28 Mar '20

In case anyone is thinking of NSF projects with European participation -- Salman -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Support for NSF researchers to collaborate with European scientists Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2020 23:38:54 +0000 From: Kautz, Henry A <hkautz(a)NSF.GOV><mailto:[email protected]> Reply-To: IIS Listserv for news, information and panel participation opportunities <IIS_NEWS(a)LISTSERV.NSF.GOV><mailto:[email protected]> To: IIS_NEWS(a)LISTSERV.NSF.GOV<mailto:[email protected]> When the worldwide COV-19 emergency ends, many researchers will want to rekindle collaborations with far-flung colleagues. We are therefore pleased to announce two opportunities for US researchers to win awards to support travel for work with European scientists. These were both planned long before the current emergency, so the timing of the announcements is awkward; on the other hand, you may find it refreshing to think about the post-emergency future. The first opportunity is for supplements for NSF awardees in any discipline to visit and work with holders of European Research Council awards. Read the DCL: https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2020/nsf20069/nsf20069.jsp?WT.mc_id=USNSF_25&WT.mc…. The second opportunity is for US researchers to collaborate with researchers in Ireland and Northern Ireland on any of the following topics: * nanoscale science and engineering * sensors and sensor networks * telecommunications * energy and sustainability * cybersecurity Read the DCL: https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2020/nsf20064/nsf20064.jsp?WT.mc_id=USNSF_25&WT.mc…. Take care, let us all look forward to happier days!
