ACENET and the Power of Scientific Visualization

Online

We all know the advantages of a bar chart instead of a table full of numbers. The bigger your dataset, the greater the value of seeing it visually and being able to pinpoint both broad and specific critical areas for decisions. Scientific visualization of large datasets can be applied across a number of areas, including engineering, material science, sensor/drone data, geospatial, and life sciences. Join them at this session to learn about powering up innovation with supercomputing, and using scientific visualization to make better decisions. There are no prerequisites and no technical knowledge is needed. This session is aimed at mid to senior level managers with R&D technology responsibilities, and R&D engineering or scientific staff with no scientific visualization experience. The webinar is a precursor to the Interactive Data Analysis & Visualization with Paraview workshop below.

A More Sustainable Future: Achieving Net Zero Together

Online

Climate change is the single greatest challenge of our time. With Canada’s climate warming twice as fast as the global average, catastrophic events such as heat waves, wildfires and floods are costing billions and putting communities and people at risk. The steps needed to reduce climate risk require transition and adaptation plans which are already well underway. To avert the worst impacts of climate change, the Government of Canada has set an ambitious climate target of 40-45% emissions reductions by 2030 and is committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Public sector organizations in Canada and around the world are responding to sustainability challenges with digital and data solutions, AI, hybrid cloud, and ecosystem partnerships. But it’s not just about the data or the technology. It’s about being a catalyst for change, making the world better one community at a time. Join them as their sponsor IBM together with senior stakeholders from the federal government discuss what it will take to achieve net zero and how together we can make that happen (e.g. sustainable procurement; Canada’s Net Zero Challenge).

Fast, not furious: Figma Auto layout 101

Online

We as designers have a lot on our plate, the last thing we should be worrying about is fixing spacing in our designs we are constantly iterating. Not only that, as our designs become more complex, the ‘little tweaks’ start to compound and can become a major time sink. In their next *virtual* meetup, Andrea will be going over what auto layout is and how to apply it to different scenarios so that we can all work smarter, not harder and create scalable components for our designs! This will follow with a quick hands-on exercise so you can apply the learnings right away. About our speaker: Andrea is a UX Designer, based in Seattle, WA, passionate about health tech with a background in Neuroscience. She currently works at ResMed, a global company for sleep and respiratory care, on projects related to patient onboarding. She also freelances for digital health startups on the side. With these different projects, Andrea is determined to figure out the most efficient way to work without sacrificing quality. In her free time, she enjoys travelling (yay remote work), boba, and going to jazz bars.
