Subject: [EXT] [AMBER-Developers] Planning for the 2021 Amber Developers' Meeting
Hi everyone:
It's pretty clear that next Spring's Amber Developers' Meeting with be a
virtual one. I'm soliciting suggestions for how to make this as useful
as possible, and volunteers for helping with the organization.
1. Are there dates that are especially good or bad?
3/27-3/29 are not great, otherwise mostly ok
2. I personally favor shorter sessions (ca. 4 hours) over more dates,
as opposed to longer sessions on fewer dates, but am eager to hear what
others think about this.
shorter sessions sound great
3. We may not want to have 30+ talks, given the limited attention
span one gets on Zoom or similar platforms. I'm thinking that most
people could upload slides in advance. We would ask everyone to preview
those, and most of the actual meeting time could be devoted to questions
and discussion.
perhaps for those who want even a short (5-7 min) video with the slides, this can easily be done with zoom for only one person to record the presentation.
4. Please think hard about how we can increase gender and other
diversity in our development group. We should invite a few outside
folks to give invited talks, and suggestions for that are welcome.
instead of having PIs talk perhaps have students/postdocs? I would like to propose my postdoc Sehr Naseem-Khan to present her work on the new GEM functional form she's implemented in gem.pmemd.
5. Any other thoughts? I think we can just have a general discussion
on this mailing list. (Hit "delete" or create a spam filter if you
don't want the clutter in your in-box.) I'll summarize the discussion
later.
...thx....dac
Best,
Andrés
