US-RSE’s DEI working group (DEI-WG) is proud to help US-RSE celebrate and participate in Black History Month. Each week during Black History Month, the US-RSE will spotlight Black/African Americans who have been involved in computing, science, engineering, and/or math, and have inspired our members through their accomplishments in their careers and their personal stories.
The second meetup of the DMV (Delaware-Maryland-Virginia) RSE affinity group met in January to discuss RSE Career Development broadly. The meetup started strong with pizza, drinks, with some casual introductory chatter and professional updates. After that, a small but dedicated crowd heard from Dr. Angeline Burrell, a research physicist at the Space Science Division, Naval Research Laboratory who gave a talk on writing effective recommendation letters and publishing research code.
