WHPC Australasia Chat: Career journeys in data science
Event Information
About this event
Join the Women in High Performance Computing (WHPC) Australasian Chapter for a conversation about career paths, self-advocacy, 'lessons learned' at various career stages, and other career experiences of women in Data Science , eResearch, and HPC roles.
We're rounding up a few guests who will share perspectives from their early/mid/late career roles, but overall this session is aimed to be very conversational with attendees welcome and encouraged to ask questions, share their own stories, and connect with peers and allies within the Australasian Data Science, HPC, and eResearch communities.
