Data Management Working Group Summer Social

To kick off the summer, members of the LMA Research Data Management Working Group gathered in the Countway Garden for a social luncheon. With meetings currently held virtually over Zoom, this was the first in-person gathering of the group since early 2020. 

Everyone in attendance seemed to appreciate the casual setting to chat, and the unique urban oasis the garden provides. It was even an opportunity for members to meet new colleagues, and see how tall people actually are in real life (away from the computer screen)!

Jessica Pierce, LMA RDMWG Co-Convener, shared her view of the afternoon:

"It was great to connect with members of our group in-person and in a social setting. We even welcomed a new member, so she had a fun introduction to our group. I appreciated re-connecting with colleagues and hearing more about what people are doing on their teams, as well as their fun summer plans!"

Our thanks to Ashley Thomas, LMA RDMWG Co-Convener, for organizing the lunch options, and everyone who joined the social gathering!
