Good Morning Water Quality Monitoring and Data Science Enthusiasts! 

We sincerely hope you are all doing well and your loved ones are healthy and safe. The 2020 Water Data Science Symposium planning team has been hard at work the last few months pivoting and adapting our very ambitious plans for this year’s Symposium to better fit within our new virtual limits. We have had to pare down the presentations in both length and amount and have eliminated the concurrent aspects of this year’s Symposium; although we are already looking to host those events in the future when things are more normalized.

With all of that we want to announce the release of our draft agenda (accessible version) which you can find on our 2020 California Water Data Science Symposium Webpage! Also see the attached flyer for more information.

If you haven’t already done so please REGISTER for the event by June 20th to receive information on the virtual attendance and platform including necessary security requirements etc.

We want to especially thank our community based Executive Advisory Committee that helped us identify a wonderful keynote speaker and develop an agenda that speaks to the larger community we have historically struggled to reach.

• Helen Fitanides, The Watershed Project
• LaDonna Williams, All Positives Possible

• Eric Bason, Parents for a Healthy Community
• Sergio Carranza, Pueblo Unido CDC
• Nahal Ipakchi, EcoEquity Consulting
• Dimitra Long, C’Witzan Circles
• Kanyon Sayers-Roods, Costanoan Ohlone and Chumash Nations

Please feel free to share this email and flyer broadly to anyone you know (listservs, colleagues, staff, and students!) who may be interested in attending the Symposium!
