Description:

The theme of the 103rd Annual AMS Meeting is Data: Driving Science. Informing Decisions. Enriching Humanity. In an effort to support this theme, the Board of Early Career Professionals has chosen to create the BECP Data-Palooza: a crowdsourced, grassroots effort which seeks to investigate and quantify known and hidden issues in our field. We will be focusing specifically on mental health. Leading up to the annual conference, we will gather data through polling to learn more about what is currently affecting members of our field. Participation is voluntary and anonymous, though we are asking for widespread sharing and support so that we can cast the largest net of respondents. For this town hall, we plan to begin with a presentation of our findings, followed by break out sessions to encourage meaningful discussions in smaller groups. We will then come back together to discuss takeaways from the small group discussions.
