Data science techniques have revolutionized many scientific disciplines, enabling new insight and discoveries. This Symposium will explore the intersection of data science and diversity with toward understanding and enhancing diversity and inclusion. To achieve this multiple communities will be brought together — from data scientists, to industry leaders, to academics working across disciplines — who are interested in laying the groundwork for a future in which Big Data and Artificial Intelligence are utilized to achieve equity. Speakers from across the U.S. will discuss issues ranging from quantifying and contextualizing diversity-related issues to examining approaches that have and haven’t worked in academia. Through this Symposium, the Institute for Computational and Data Sciences aims to spur new collaborations and identify cutting-edge approaches that can enhance diversity at Penn State and in higher education across the country.

The Statistical Challenge of Modern Astronomy (SCMA) conference series, initiated in 1991 at Penn State, has been the premier forum where astronomers and statisticians discuss advanced methodology to further our understanding of cosmic populations and processes. The conference has a truly cross-disciplinary approach. The SCMA VII conference will be held in June in a virtual format. Highlighted themes include: Deep Learning neural networks; Bayesian inference computations; analysis of irregular time series; and methodology for the Rubin/LSST sky survey. The SCMA VII conference is being held at a critical moment in time, as efforts to foster astrostatistics are thriving around the world with increasing impact on the future of both fields.
