ESIP Update ⛄ Last ESIP newsletter of 2021…

This is our last email of the year — and we're getting a slightly new look in 2022. We'll see you next year at the ESIP January 2022 meeting!

ESIP UPDATE: 12.20.21

Hello Earth Science Folks,

Today is the last ESIP Update for 2021. That means we're 354 days into the year, I've been with ESIP for 76 days as our communications manager, and the January 2022 ESIP Meeting starts in 29 days. What timelines are you celebrating or reflecting on this season?

Here are few ESIP reflections on community and working together:

Latest IT&I Tech Dive: rOpenSci – Open and Reproducible Research Using Shared Data and Re-Usable Software
Preprint on Making Scientific Content More Accessible, which pairs nicely with the session organizer workshop on creating interactive and engaging talks (organizers – remember to ping staff@esipfed.org to ask about office hours with our facilitation consultant)
We've announced the plenary speakers working with Indigenous communities and public-private partnerships — get ready for some deep, thoughtful conversation

We're also embracing a short break from ESIP Update and social media next week, taking a cue from the northern hemisphere's long nights before the light (and to-do lists) ramp up after the New Year. When we do come back, the ESIP Update will have a few new sections. We'll be highlighting more of the work happening in different clusters, rolling out a new blog, and sharing insightful articles and tools.

I'm a good curator, but not omniscient, so please send in links to allisonmills@esipfed.org, post resources in #general on Slack, tag @ESIPfed in a tweet , or start a conversation with @Earth Science information Partners (ESIP) on LinkedIn.

Allison Mills
ESIP Communications Manager
