On DemandLevel 100A simplified approach to data-driven research collaboration
Speaker(s): Dr. Ian Foster, Director, Argonne Data Science, and Learning Division, Argonne National Lab, and Professor at the University of ChicagoWith artificial intelligence and machine learning on the rise, high performance computing (HPC) systems proliferating, and research teams more distributed than ever, reliable research data management is now more important than ever. We tend to take these functions for granted, and yet modern collaborative research would not be possible without them. When scientists can move and share data quickly, easily, and securely, they accelerate the pace of research and innovation. Globus has spent the past nine years developing a research data management service with over 100,000 users at thousands of organizations worldwide. Tune in to learn about what makes Globus unique, support for various compliance requirements, and common use cases, such as data migration from scientific instruments and cloud storage like Amazon S3.

On DemandLevel 200NIH's strategic vision for data science: Enabling a FAIR-data ecosystem
Speaker(s): Dr. Susan Gregurick, Director, Division of Biophysics, Biomedical Technology, and Computational Biosciences at NIH’s National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS)Biomedical Researchers today are faced with a growing number of quantitative and qualitative methods that generate data from experiments, computational and observational studies, clinical studies and data gathered from individuals and from communities. The generation of this data is highly distributed, including individual scientists, research groups, patients and large cohort studies, and large-scale initiatives. In parallel to the rise in data generation and data use in research, computational sciences are also undergoing a metamorphosis. From new methods and tools to analyze and understand data (machine learning, deep learning, artificial intelligence, and virtual-reality technologies) to new platforms, that embrace heterogeneous computing (e.g. SUMMIT) or quantum information, the landscape of data-information-computing creates a need for a strategic vision in biomedical data science. Our aim is to provide for a connected data ecosystem that embraces the concept that data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reproducible. This seminar will engage participants to think about new ways in which we can extend our data science capabilities.
