[ESIP-all] Open Science & Data Help Desk at AGU24: Volunteer as an Expert by 11/23!

[Megan Orlando]

The Open Science & Data Help Desk
<https://www.esipfed.org/data-help-desk/> will
be back at the 2024 AGU Fall Meeting <https://www.agu.org/Fall-Meeting>
(December 9-13) and YOU can volunteer
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd8usa_oX6LtqWT38mRNZW9OG6j61ICLMr5D-h_uF0Xn1zGXA/viewform>
as a data or software expert!


The Open Science & Data Help Desk, which is a program of Earth Science
Information Partners (ESIP) <https://www.esipfed.org/> and the American
Geophysical Union (AGU), along with their partners, provides researchers
with opportunities to engage with informatics experts in their domains.
Through the Help Desk, researchers can learn about skills and techniques
that will help further their research and make their data and software more
open and FAIR. The Open Science & Data Help Desk will be staffed with
experts from the Earth science informatics community to answer data-related
questions and to demo useful resources.

The Open Science & Data Help Desk is a central feature of a broader space
within the Exhibit Hall called the Open Science Pavilion at AGU24
<https://data.agu.org/OSDHD/>. We encourage you to showcase your expertise
and resources at the Data Help Desk for time slots of 1-2 hours throughout
AGU24 at no cost to you.

Here are the ways you can participate:



   1.

   *In-Person*: Join us at the booth to answer data & software-related
   questions;
   2.

   *In-Person*: Join us at the booth to showcase a demo/tutorial of a tool
   or resource;
   3.

   Answer earth science data & software questions virtually (monitor X
   (formerly Twitter) and/or Slack and answer/connect where you can);


Special Opportunity for Emerging/Early Career Researchers: We encourage
emerging professionals (current Master’s and PhD students) and early career
professionals (within 2 years of completing a Master’s or PhD) to
participate in an hour long working meeting at the conference to gather
feedback on your experiences, insights on what support you would like from
the Data Help Desk, and ideas for future improvements. By volunteering for
at least one in-person session and participating in the working meeting, five
individuals will receive a $100 gift card as a token of our appreciation. No
need to be an expert! You’ll have the support of experienced data and
software professionals and will gain valuable experience, build
connections, and contribute to the open science community.

To volunteer, please complete this brief form
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd8usa_oX6LtqWT38mRNZW9OG6j61ICLMr5D-h_uF0Xn1zGXA/viewform>,
by Nov. 23, 2024. Learn more about specific options for participating here

Note: you do not have to be registered for the AGU Fall Meeting to
participate virtually. You do have to be registered to participate
in-person.


After several successful virtual and in-person events at professional
meetings over the last few years at the AGU Fall Meeting, the GSA Annual
Meeting, the ESA Annual Meeting, the European Geosciences Union General
Assembly, the Ocean Sciences Meeting, and more, we are always looking for
new and better ways to engage the researcher community. Don't miss this
chance to help others with data and software-related questions and to demo
your tool or platform!
