CommunityData:Workshop and Soft Block

Workshops and Softblocks
The CDSC workshop provides a weekly venue to present/share work about once per quarter. The softblock provides a time for coworking sessions, meetups with other labs and researchers, and ad-hoc meetings.

Like in the critique and feedback session, you are welcome to workshop a wide range of things: planning documents, draft papers, manuscripts with reviews, grant applications, job market materials, practice talks, brainstorming potential projects, etc.
