PAG: Group Meetings

Updated 08/Jan/2025

While we focus on answering questions related to enrollment, we know an implied mission is assisting in the development of those that want to do similar work. To this end, we hold twice-a-week group meetings where we discuss

• Relevant research articles
• Application of function-specific applications
• Examples of new (to us) coding methods
• Our research success and setbacks

We invite and welcome those outside of our group to join our meetings. Please contact Emilio for meeting information.

Group Meeting Schedule

Group Meeting are on Tuesdays and Thursdays and we start at 10:30a and end between by noon. Our Group Meeting schedule is loose. Each meeting starts with a quick “stand-up” where everyone briefly talks about…

• what they are working on
• one thing causing grief
• one victory

The meetings are informal discussions on current projects and help overcoming coding obstacles.

We meet on campus in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources building.

Book Club

Book club is structured professional development. The goal is to gain knowledge and insight to current projects through the perspective of someone else.

Spring/2023: We read and discussed Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy by Cathy O’Neil (Bookshop | Amazon | Apple Books) to better understand how the data, analysis, and models we create impacts others.
