ESIP UPDATE: 02.04.2019

Good Morning ESIP,

Happy February! I am excited to remind you about this Thursday's ESIP Winter Meeting Highlights Webinar (2/7 at 12 pm ET), which promises to be a fast-paced recap of events and how to get involved. If you missed the meeting or couldn't get to all the sessions you wanted to, be sure to join in.

In other news, Making Data Matter with Martha Maiden is the first in a series of interviews conducted by Arika Virapongse that will be posted on the ESIP Website over the coming year. Also appearing this week is a new blog post, Arranging the Orchestra of Data, a very insightful set of takeaways from the ESIP Winter Meeting by ESIP Community Fellow Zachary Robbins.

Best,
Megan
