Arts Students Join 'Roots for Resilience,' Building Data Science Skills
Graduate art students Lori Hennessy and Andrés Cabellero joined the “Roots for Resilience” cohort to build capacity in data science and AI skills at the University of Arizona.
The 13-person cohort will learn best practices in open science, computational infrastructure, and artificial intelligence for research and discovery. The initiative aims to increase the University of Arizona’s research capacity in environmental and societal resilience.
Fellows, who receive a $7,000 stipend, attend two weekly sessions during fall semester learning Foundational Open Science Skills. Each Fellow will deliver two presentations by the end of the semester. Upon completing R4R, cohort fellows serve as departmental ambassadors, sharing the valuable knowledge gained from the program.
