You’ll be asked to sign in to Google, and give Icebreaker permission to access your camera and microphone. Google Chrome browser recommended.

Once you join, you’ll land in the lobby. Please read the instructions in the chat window, and type in chat if you have any questions. Shortly after, we’ll start a series of mentoring sessions as described below.

Who can mentor? Mentoring topics will range from general life-work balance to general research questions, thus we encourage a larger number of participants, ranging from mid-PhD to senior levels, to participate as mentors. Mentors can be of any gender.

What is the panel about? At ~1.10pm PT, there will be a panel on “Reviewing and Publishing” with panelists Bin Yu, Tomi Mori, Po-Ling Loh, Jessica Kohlschmidt, and moderated by Sinead Williamson. The rapid growth of the machine learning and statistics community has made the reviewing process of peer-reviewed conferences more challenging. Besides sharing their experiences, panelists will discuss publishing venues in ML and Statistics, as well as take questions from the audience.
