SUMMARY:Leveraging big data in ecology and atmospheric science to study impacts of wildfire smoke on birds
DESCRIPTION:  \nSpeaker: Olivia Sanderfoot\, Ph.D.\nIDRE Fellow\nEcology & Evolutionary Biology\nUniversity of California Los Angeles \n  \n  \nLocation: Link to the recording \nTime: 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM (PST)\nRegistration Link: https://youtu.be/Xked2hZBq44\n \n  \nAbstract: Global wildfire activity is increasing globally\, and people and wildlife are increasingly exposed to hazardous smoke. Despite the well-established risks wildfire smoke poses to public health\, few studies have investigated how smoke impacts non-human animals. Birds are especially vulnerable to smoke due to their heightened sensitivity to air pollution. In this talk\, I will share my vision for linking big data from ecology and atmospheric science to learn more about the effects of smoke on the health and behavior of birds and discuss several case studies that demonstrate the potential of interdisciplinary\, cross-campus collaborations to address critical knowledge gaps and inform conservation. \nAbout the speaker: Dr. Olivia Sanderfoot studies the impacts of wildfire smoke on birds and other wildlife. As the 2023 La Kretz Center for California Conservation Science Postdoctoral Fellow\, Olivia is exploring how wildfire smoke influences bird behavior and shapes species distributions in California. Additionally\, she is partnering with the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County to launch a new community science project in southern California to learn more about how smoke impacts local birds. \nBefore moving to Los Angeles\, Olivia conducted her doctoral research in the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle. Her dissertation explored how wildfire smoke and urban air pollution impacted the detection of birds in Washington state. \nOlivia has been interviewed about her research by National Geographic\, TIME\, Discover\, and Audubon magazines\, Popular Science\, The Seattle Times\, The Washington Post\, and several local radio and TV stations. \nOlivia was born and raised in Madison\, Wisconsin\, and is a proud alumna of the University of Wisconsin – Madison; she received her B.S. in biology and Spanish in 2015 and her M.S. in environmental science in 2017. Born and raised in Wisconsin\, Olivia is driven by her passion for environmental policy and conservation\, her love for birds\, and her strong belief in the Wisconsin Idea\, the philosophy that a university’s research should be applied to solve problems and improve the health\, well-being\, and environment of the community it serves.

SUMMARY:Getting Started with Registered Reports
DESCRIPTION:Click here to register (Snacks will be served) \nRegistered reports are a new publication mechanism where researchers submit a research proposal to a journal that is peer-reviewed\, and upon acceptance\, the journal agrees to publish the results of the study regardless of the outcome. Registered reports help address key issues which have resulted in replication crises in multiple academic fields\, such as publication bias and p-hacking. In this workshop\, you will learn how to publish registered reports\, the value of registered reports\, how registered reports align with incentives for researchers\, and how registered reports can interface with broader research systems (e.g.\, labs and trainees). \nAfter this workshop\, attendees will be able to… \n\nDefine a registered report and describe its component parts\nSummarize the differences between registered reports and traditional published research\nCompare and contrast the relative barriers and benefits of registered reports and traditional publications.\nIdentify and evaluate journals or other publishing mechanisms (e.g.\, PCI-RR) within their field which publish registered reports\nGenerate a Stage 1 registered report proposal for their own research project\n\nPresenters: Dr. Amanda Kay Montoya is a Quantitative Methodologist in the Department of Psychology at UCLA. Dr. William Krenzer is a Scientific Integrity Associate at Duke University. Drs. Montoya and Krenzer are funded by NSF to research the adoption and impact of registered reports in scientific practice. The team has experience submitting and publishing multiple registered reports\, as well as extensive experience with researchers considering and implementing registered reports and developing tools to improve the ease with which researchers can conduct registered reports.

SUMMARY:Building programs from source code
DESCRIPTION:In the era of open source software\, there are a wide range of useful and free programs for researchers to take advantage of\, including novel utility programs and innovative research codes. However\, it may be necessary to build (compile/link) these programs before using them. During this process\, one can run into errors like “command not found”\, “undefined reference”\, “GLIBC_x.xx not found”\, or “illegal instruction.” The process can become frustrating or confusing without a good understanding of how the compiler or the build system works. In this talk\, we will explain how one can resolve or avoid these errors\, and we will aim to minimize any knowledge gaps by explaining the mechanisms behind building programs from source in a Linux environment. \nAny questions about this workshop can be emailed to Shao-Ching Huang at schuang@oarc.ucla.edu. \nPresented by the Office of Advanced Research Computing. \nRegister here: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJApdOuuqT0iEtBx6kp_hIQpBdm_t9oYO1v4

SUMMARY:Introduction to Meta-analysis in Stata
DESCRIPTION:Meta-analysis is the synthesis of results from previous studies. It is used to increase power\, obtain a better estimate of an effect size\, and sometimes to resolve conflicting conclusions in the literature. In this workshop\, we will discuss how the data for a meta-analysis are collected and organized\, as well as how such data are analyzed and graphed. We will also discuss some of the limitations meta-analysis and what should be included in a meta-analysis for publication. \nAny questions about this workshop can be emailed to Christine Wells at crwells@ucla.edu. \nPresented by the Office of Advanced Research Computing. \nRegister here: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYlceihrzMiGNG4cItOYbx-gb_vYPKCSnMj\n

SUMMARY:Python for High Performance Data Analytics (2) Arrays
DESCRIPTION:While Python becomes the most popular programming language since 2019\, data scientists often have a few common complaints about its slow speed and the limited capabilities of handling the big data scenarios. In this workshop series\, we will present an extensive discussion on how to improve the performance of Python in data science by looking under the hood of its language/libraries and using the technologies to make Python a practical solution for the high-performance big data analytics. In the second session\, we will focus on how to load/process the super big dataset in Python using a single machine and comparing the dataframe implementations from Pandas\, Modin\, Pandarallel\, Dask and Vaex etc. Although no specific prerequisite is required to attend the talk\, having programming experience in Python’s numpy and Pandas packages will be helpful to fully understand the lecture content. \nAny questions about this workshop can be emailed to Qiyang Hu at huqy@oarc.ucla.edu. \nPresented by the Office of Advanced Research Computing. \nRegister here: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0pf-CsrjMuEtTQVHqNxJBD1NeF6zeQs_P_

SUMMARY:Docker software platform: Practice
DESCRIPTION:Built on a hypersivor of host operation system\, virtual machine (VM) offers an isolated virtual environment providing functionality needed to execute guest operation systems (OS) and applications. However\, VMs usually require heavy computer resources to execute OS and programs. Alternatively\, an advanced technique so-called containerization has been developed in the recent years for many applications. Containerization provides a mechanism where software/applications can be abstracted from the environment they originally run. These two workshops will introduce the basic concepts and usage of Docker containerization\, including its four major components: image\, container\, data volume\, and network. We will also discuss how to write the Dockerfile and run your applications from local computer to cloud services. \nAny questions about this workshop can be emailed to Jerry Huang at hyhuang@oarc.ucla.edu. \nPresented by the Office of Advanced Research Computing. \nRegister here: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcocu-rrT0qGdTjO4VN9vlRH3Bc5T4298tH
