- **Who:** Anyone interested in improving their data science workflows. FTEs and Affiliates from any Fisheries Science Center, Regional Office, or HQ Office are welcome to participate. This program is not only for scientists: admin, IT staff, and beyond are welcomed. We aim to remove barriers to outside collaboration. It is important that those who participate can do so in all or most sessions, and are energized to be interacting with like-minded individuals across NOAA Fisheries. Sign up to participate individually, with a colleague, or your team. *Note, FTEs please contact your supervisor for approval and Affiliates contact your COR and NMFS POC for approval. This program is designed to directly support your work and tasks by creating structure and support to help you achieve goals and tasks related to data modernization and workflow improvement.*
