Hello Scholars!
I've included a Slack Round Up of some of the recent posts in our Slack workspace. As you'll notice, Slack is a place where a lot of the activity for Research Scholars occurs. If you aren't on Slack yet, but are interested to check it out, you can use this invitation link to join (expires in 30 days).
This week, we have our Communications WG meeting. All are welcome to join this meeting and help us further develop how we approach our internal and external communication for the Ronin Institute.
We are re-starting a second time slot for #watercooler. Paola Di Maio hopes that other Research Scholars will join her on Wednesdays at 7:00 AM US ET / 12:00 UTC, which might be a better time for those of you located outside of the Americas.
See you all around the community!
- Arika
All events are on our Ronin calendar (add the Google Calendar). If you want to add something to this Weekly Update that you think Ronin Scholars would be interested in, please reach out via weekly.update@ronininstitute.org.
