This hands-on, two-session workshop series offers attendees a solid introduction to the R programming language. This workshop is accessible to those with no to little previous experience and seeks to teach useful skills that focus on not only the analysis but creating processes that are automatable and reproducible.

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.
