The Python Foundations seminar emphasizes a hands-on approach and is designed to reach a diverse student population to provide them with the entry-level programming skills required in data science. The creation of the seminar materials has been funded by a three-year federal grant and has followed a systematic approach to enhance the student learning experience and raise student awareness of data science. The seminar materials—structured in three parts: pre-seminar, live seminar, and post-seminar—are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International license to encourage adoption by any institution. To foster interest in the seminar, students have the possibility to earn a digital badge attesting to their newly acquired skills.

12th Japan-US Seminar in Plant Pathology Meeting Report
The 12th iteration of the Japan-US Seminar in Plant Pathology was held in Ithaca, New York at Cornell University in the fall of 2022. Presentations covered a range of topics under the theme “Remodeling of the Plant-Microbe Environment During Disease, Defense, and Mutualism,” and the meeting included a panel discussion of best practices in science communication. This report presents highlights of the meeting, from the perspective of early career participants of the seminar. [Formula: see text] Copyright © 2023 The Author(s).

This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 23031 Frontiers of Information Access Experimentation for Research and Education, which brought together 38 participants from 12 countries. The seminar addressed technology-enhanced information access (information retrieval, recommender systems, natural language processing) and specifically focused on developing more responsible experimental practices leading to more valid results, both for research as well as for scientific education. The seminar featured a series of long and short talks delivered by participants, who helped in setting a common ground and in letting emerge topics of interest to be explored as the main output of the seminar. This led to the definition of five groups which investigated challenges, opportunities, and next steps in the following areas:reality check, i.e. conducting real-world studies, human-machine-collaborative relevance judgment frameworks, overcoming methodological challenges in information retrieval and recommender systems through awareness and education, results-blind reviewing, and guidance for authors.

Understanding the history of how we studied our ocean in the past and how we study it now will help us develop approaches to make future oceanographic knowledge production more diverse, accessible, and inclusive. The motto of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030) is, “The ocean we need for the future we want” (Singh et al., 2021). The Ocean Decade gives the ocean sciences community an opportunity to change the way it conducts research, to use ocean science to support sustainable development, and to energize the ocean sciences for future generations. With these goals in mind, we developed an introductory level, student-led graduate seminar that builds on the Ocean Decade framework. A research cruise involving seminar participants followed the seminar sessions. Here, we discuss how we conducted the seminar and highlight directions that are needed to energize future generations of ocean leaders and make ocean science more equitable, inclusive, and accessible.more » « less

This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar "EU Cyber Resilience Act: Socio-Technical and Research Challenges" (24112). This timely seminar brought together experts in computer science, tech policy, and economics, as well as industry stakeholders, national agencies, and regulators to identify new research challenges posed by the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), a new EU regulation that aims to set essential cybersecurity requirements for digital products to be permissible in the EU market. The seminar focused on analyzing the proposed text and standards for identifying obstacles in standardization, developer practices, user awareness, and software analysis methods for easing adoption, certification, and enforcement. Seminar participants noted the complexity of designing meaningful cybersecurity regulations and of aligning regulatory requirements with technological advancements, market trends, and vendor incentives, referencing past challenges with GDPR and COPPA adoption and compliance. The seminar also emphasized the importance of regulators, marketplaces, and both mobile and IoT platforms in eliminating malicious and deceptive actors from the market, and promoting transparent security practices from vendors and their software supply chain. The seminar showed the need for multi-disciplinary and collaborative efforts to support the CRA’s successful implementation and enhance cybersecurity across the EU.more » « less

The report documents the program and outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 18061 "Evidence About Programmers for Programming Language Design". The seminar brought together a diverse group of researchers from the fields of computer science education, programming languages, software engineering, human-computer interaction, and data science. At the seminar, participants discussed methods for designing and evaluating programming languages that take the needs of programmers directly into account. The seminar included foundational talks to introduce the breadth of perspectives that were represented among the participants; then, groups formed to develop research agendas for several subtopics, including novice programmers, cognitive load, language features, and love of programming languages. The seminar concluded with a discussion of the current SIGPLAN artifact evaluation mechanism and the need for evidence standards in empirical studies of programming languages.more » « less
