 using all the platforms we provide, talk to others, and you will likely be surprised how much in common you have with somebody who is coming from a completely different field. Okay, so before I get into how to interact with each other, I'd like to first thank everyone who have been working so hard to make this event happen. So our program committee have been so valuable to bring their own expertise from different research areas and bring you the top notch speakers that you will meet today. And I want to give a big shout out to the members of organizing committee who have worked super hard to take care of so many of the logistic details to take the event online, test the platforms, and to give you, hopefully we will be able to give you an experience that is as close to in-person interactions as possible. We have also received a very strong administrative support from both CMU libraries and the School of Computer Science, so you can see that both Deans, Keith Webster, and Marshall Hibbert will, they've been personally involved in the planning and you will meet them during the program in the panel discussion and in the fireside chat with Marshall. So I want to also, sorry, so I also want to point out that many of the planning committee are members of the Open Science and Data Collaborations program at CMU, which we launched in the beginning of 2019 in order to provide stronger support for open science across CMU campus. So what we do is to license digital tools, provide training, organize open science events, and bring together communities across disciplines at CMU and beyond. And ADAR and Open Science Symposium are two of the main events we host every year. So now let's actually get into the details, how to interact with each other in this conference. So there are three virtual platforms we use. Zoom is where you attend to the talks and panel discussions and the fireside chat. I ask audience to stay, please stay muted unless the chair gives you permission to speak. But we do encourage to ask questions and ask a lot of them because I want to, we really want people to be interactive and talk to each other. So please send your questions by chat. So in this, you might see that you only have an option to chat to one of the hosts, but please send your question to the person that's labeled as a chair because that would be the person who's announcing the questions to the speakers. And each session will have a different chair, so pay attention to just what's in the parenthesis. And as a one reminder, if you haven't updated to the latest version of the Zoom, please do so because we do notice that the latest version runs a lot more smooth than a lot smoother than the older versions. We also have interaction, invite everybody to interact on Slack and this is our Slack space. So we will use the ADAR 2020 channel to discuss remaining questions and also feel free to create the new channels if there are some topics of interest that you would like to discuss with other participants. And we do have a Tech Issues channel if you need to get help using how to use these platforms. And the third platform, this is supposed to be a fun one, is a gathered hell. So when you paste, copy and paste this URL into your browser, you will be able to enter a space that looks like this. This is a map of CMU campus, so you will be one of the avatars that you would be connected with video and audio with people who are close to you and start a conversation. And if you walk away, you just break out, break away from the conversation. So it's very similar to in person. And this is also how we, there are some, we do have a few posters throughout the space so you can browse them as well. One thing is we ask you to disconnect from Zoom before entering, before entering the gather town because there would be some interference. And also the gather town doesn't work out, doesn't work with the Safari, but it does work with Chrome or Firefox. So there's, I know there's a lot of links over here, but the easiest way to find this information is go to your registration, go to the email that I sent you before the event, and there's also the website for technical instructions to find out more details, and we have technical help on the Slack as well. Last but not least, we have, as a bigger, to have a lot of participants, we do have a code of conduct. I encourage you to read all the details over here, but the gist of it, just very simple, be respectful, treat others the way you want others to treat you. And this applies to all platforms we use. And we do have a mechanism, a reporting mechanism if you see violations. Okay, so I've said too much. Let's get to it, and now I'm going to hand over to Hannah Gunderman, who is going to chair the first session.
