rOpenSci and Openscapes are lucky to have as members many U.S. federal employees who enrich our work and community. In a time of great uncertainty for so many government workers, we want to support our members who are considering their next career steps.
Join us on Tuesday, May 6 at 8:30PM EDT for a discussion and networking event for and with current and former U.S. federal government data scientists.
We will be joined by co-hosts discussing their career paths in other sectors after serving at U.S. federal agencies, including:
- Dan Pisut, Environmental Information and Climate Resilience Lead, ESRI (former NOAA)
- Soumya Kalra, Chief Data Officer, City and County of San Francisco (former Federal Reserve Bank)
- Julie Kellner, Senior Program Manager, Digital Science (former NSF)
- Allissa Dillman, CEO/Founder, BioDataSage (former NIH)
- Aaron Friesz, Technical Community Manager, Earth Science Information Partners (former NASA/USGS)
- Maria Gingras, Lead Market Monitor - Market Analytics, Southwest Power Pool (former DOE)
We will hear from our co-hosts and then organize into breakout rooms for Q&A and discussion.
If you are a former federal employee who can share and answer questions about your post-government career path, we would love to have you join as well! Please let us know at in the registration form your experience so we can organize participants by topic.
