[Host10] Upcoming webinar: Inclusive Practices and Software Project Productivity

[IDEAS Project Outreach Lead]

The next webinar in the HPC Best Practices (https://ideas-productivity.org/resources/series/hpc-best-practices-webinars/) series is:
Inclusive Practices and Software Project Productivity
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT
Wednesday, October 23, 2024

Presenter: Mark C Miller (Applications, Simulations and Quality Division, Lawrence Livermore National Lab)
Description:

The productivity of projects in high-performance computing (HPC) and computational science and engineering (CSE) is significantly impacted by the ability of large, multidisciplinary teams to work together—to collaborate ethically and trustfully, to communicate with clarity and empathy, and to be inspired to contribute authentically and with enthusiasm and thoughtfulness. Inclusivity and inclusive practices play key roles in facilitating all of that and more. Likewise, the lack of attention to inclusivity and inclusive practices can dramatically negatively impact scientific productivity. Topics central to diversity, equity, and inclusivity such as gender identity, sexual harassment, and racism can sometimes overshadow our perception of many other dimensions to inclusivity such as neurodivergence (15-20% prevalence), mobility impairment (16%), handedness (10%), dyslexia/dyscalculia (3-7%), color vision deficiency (5%) or other visual impairment (1%-40%) or hearing impairment (15%) to name a
few. Inclusivity and inclusive practices can play a role in improving almost every aspect of a scientific computing project. The benefits of inclusive practices include reducing barriers to adoption, increasing a product’s reach, improving productivity, increasing innovation, attracting and retaining a wider talent pool, and improving job satisfaction. This presentation will outline a long list of concrete, inclusive practices that scientific computing projects can easily incorporate into existing activities and plans, which will have a positive impact on productivity and sustainability. If logistics permit, we’ll end with in a short Kahoot! game to inspire further dialog.
Participation is free, but registration is required. Registrants will also receive an email when the recording of the webinar is available.
