Over three dozen students, researchers, faculty and staff attended this year’s Fall Welcome Event, held September 27th in the WRF Data Science Studio. Ed Lazowska, founding director of the institute, delivered an overview of the services the organization provides, while data scientists provided insight into the special skills and expertise they can offer during their studio office hours.

Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows introduced themselves and gave lightning talks on their current research projects. The reception kicked off the quarter’s full schedule of events, which include data science and community seminars, a software carpentry workshop series, and much more.
