2017 Jun 9 - Reminder: SIO-BUG/R-USERS end of year party 6/14!!

posted by: Jessica Blanton

Dear all,

Next week is our end of year party, Wednesday, June 14, Surfside. Start time 4:30pm End time when the cows come home

There will be food and drink to be sure. If you have specific requests on that front for you, your family, and friends, do let us know by Monday. Feel free to forward and invite others who may be interested.

In addition to spending some good time together, we have much to celebrate and reflect on from the last few years- from the inception of the SIO-BUG inception to the unifying of interest and efforts with the long running R-Users group under SIO Open Data (see https://open-data-science-at-sio.github.io/).

SIO-BUG also has its first logo, submitted by Du Niu, and which narrowly beat out one of the revised Scripps Genome Center. A high-resolution PDF is linked, and we hope the stickers we ordered for it arrive by Wednesday!

See you next week!

2017 May 18 - [Bioinf] SIO-BUG Logo Competition VOTING OPEN and END OF YEAR party!!

posted by: Jessica Blanton

Your friendly SIO-BUG and Open Data Science organizers would like to invite your input and give you a heads up about a few final social events to wrap up the year in style.

1. Logo competition

Vote Here

It is still the 2016-2017 academic year, so TECHNICALLY, we are still selecting a logo for this year…rest assured it will appear everywhere next year! Voting will run through Friday, May 26 (it’s just a few clicks, so why not do it now?):

2. End of year party Save-The-Date

As a heads up, plans are underway for an end of year party, tentatively scheduled for the evening of Wednesday, June 14. (details forthcoming, but there will be food, drink, and stickers - we’re still working on figuring out T-shirt pricing.) This will be a nice meeting of all members of the SIO-BUG, Open Data Science and R-User members, and we hope to see you, your friends and your families (scientific or other).
