Don’t Worry, Their Vision is Based on Movement, So Just Hold Still
The White House announced the launch of the COVID-19 High Performance Computing Consortium to provide COVID-19 researchers worldwide with access to the world’s most powerful high performance computing resources that can significantly advance the pace of scientific discovery in the fight to stop the virus.
Over 280 people participated remotely in the virtual meeting last week. The meeting kicked off with updates from various members of our community who are working their COVID-19 research and NIH Director Francis Collins recognized the effort going into fighting the virus (see Dr. Collins address here). We had lots of great breakout discussions ranging from metadata, to infrastructure to tools to outreach and everywhere in between.
The organizing team is actively working to share meeting materials publicly on the meeting website. Please be patient, as there was a lot of output from the meeting that needs to be cleaned up to be shared (both Google docs and videos) for those of you that attended the meeting you can still access the documents via KiStorm.
Annual HuBMAP Meeting is Going Virtual
The consortium's Annual All-Hands meeting will be moving to a virtual format due to public health concerns and social gathering restrictions surrounding the evolving COVID-19 pandemic.
We are working through the details and will keep you informed as things progress. Thanks for your patience. If you have any questions or concerns please send mail to help@hubmapconsortium.org.
Developers in need of HIVE infrastructure may request access through the PSC web form, foundhere.
Instructions for using HIVE infrastructure can now be found in the "Quick Links" section of the Collaboration Portal. A direct link to this documentation can be found here. Please report any issues or direct any questions to help@hubmapconsortium.org.
