SUMMARY:IRL: Qiskit Global Summer School
DESCRIPTION:Qiskit Global Summer School kicks off on Monday\, July 13. \n\n\n\nThis meetup is designed for anyone who has registered with IBM Quantum as a participant in QGSS26. \n\n\n\nCome join us so that we can meet each other\, ask questions\, and find ways to connect during the summer school. \n\n\n\nIf you aren’t registered for QGSS26\, but are interested in learning how to get started with Qiskit\, you can check out these resources: \n\n\n\n\nQiskit YouTube Channel – there are several videos under the heading\, Get Started with Qiskit Today\n\n\n\nIBM Quantum Learning Platform – you could look at this class first\, “Start Using a Quantum Computer”.\n\n\n\n\nNatalie Hawkins is a Tier 2 Qiskit Advocate and mentor for the QGSS26\, as well as a UW CSE alum; she will be hosting the event. She can share things she has learned as a participant at past QGSS’s. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.meetup.com/seattle-quantum-computing-meetup/events/315633098/?eventOrigin=group_events_list

SUMMARY:Supporting disabled students in research: AccessComputing discussion
DESCRIPTION:Event interval: Single day eventAccessibility Contact: blaser@uw.eduEvent Types: Diversity Equity Inclusion\,Information Sessions\,Lectures/SeminarsEvent sponsors: AccessComputingLink: https://washington.zoom.us/meeting/register/JMkgqE94R2qKuYs29t5vZg#/registrationAccessComputing invites you to join us for an online (Zoom) community discussion about supporting disabled students in research.  We'll have an interactive discussion about the 2022 article Students with Disabilities in Life Science Undergraduate Research Experiences: Challenges and Opportunities by Gin\, Pais\, et al (check out the abstract below!) and how the computing community can benefit from the findings.  Registrants may wish to read the paper in advance of the meeting.Registration RequiredAccommodation Note: Zoom auto captions will be enabled. For ASL\, CART\, or additional accommodations contact Brianna Blaser at blaser@uw.edu. ———————-Students with Disabilities in Life Science Undergraduate Research Experiences: Challenges and Opportunities. Gin LE\, Pais D\, Cooper KM\, Brownell SE. CBE Life Sci Educ. 2022 Jun; 21(2): ar32.Abstract: Individuals with disabilities are underrepresented in postsecondary science education and in science careers\, yet few studies have explored why this may be. A primary predictor of student persistence in science is participating in undergraduate research. However\, it is unclear to what extent students with disabilities are participating in research and what the experiences of these students in research are. To address this gap in the literature\, in study 1\, we conducted a national survey of more than 1200 undergraduate researchers to determine the percent of students with disabilities participating in undergraduate research in the life sciences. We found that 12% of undergraduate researchers we surveyed self-identified as having a disability\, which indicates that students with disabilities are likely underrepresented in undergraduate research. In study 2\, we conducted semistructured interviews with 20 undergraduate researchers with disabilities. We identified unique challenges experienced by students with disabilities in undergraduate research\, as well as some possible solutions to these challenges. Further\, we found that students with disabilities perceived that they provide unique contributions to the research community. This work provides a foundation for creating undergraduate research experiences that are more accessible and inclusive for students with disabilities.This discussion is supported by AccessUR2PhD.
