The DRAGONS (Data Reduction for Astronomy from Gemini Observatory North and South) workshop will teach the participants how to use and customize their usage of DRAGONS. We will focus on the command-line interface. The participants will be able to run the commands themselves and will be given some simple exercises throughout the class to solidify the learning. To fully participate, the attendees should install the software before the session. Installation instructions can be found at this link. Limited to in person attendees only.

The Gem in We: Inclusivity Strategy Workshop with Jocelyn Ferrara
4:15 PM - 5:00 PM (GMT+9)

Let's continue the Gem In We series by going a step beyond the initiating questions asked in Workplace Inclusivity talk given at the 2021 virtual GSM. In order to forge a path ahead to make organizations more diverse, equitable, and inclusive, it is key to establish a strategic plan moving forward, against which to measure progress and pull concrete actions. 

The recently released Astro2020 Decadal Survey included significant analysis and recommendations regarding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion within its State of the Profession segment. Using this example as well as the NOIRLab DEI Strategic Plan as examples and references, we will deconstruct the key points to crafting a plan to build DEI infrastructure in an organization.
