2023 FRED HUTCH Openscapes Champions Cohort
Welcome to the 2023 FRED HUTCH Cohort! This is a Cohort for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, sponsored by the Fred Hutch Data Science Lab (DaSL). This is one of the first opportunities that DaSL is offering the Fred Hutch community, and we're thrilled. Openscapes has focused its previous 19 Cohorts with environmental and Earth scientists, and this is our first Cohort with cancer scientists – it came to be through longtime collaborations with DaSL's Sean Kross and Monica Gerber. To learn more about what to expect (the purpose, outcomes, and process of our Cohort), please read the homepage of the Champions Program Lesson Series.
Cohort Agendas
We will meet as a Cohort remotely five times over two months for 1.5 hours each:
- Dates: August 29, September 12, 26, October 10, 24
- Times: 10:00 - 11:30 am PT

Co-working times (optional)
Co-working sessions are where we work at the same time together. Sometimes, this means quiet work with check-ins to break up focused work and get feedback, and sometimes this involves asking questions and screensharing to learn and problem solve.
