Single Cell User Group

The Fred Hutch DaSL hosted a kick off meeting 9/26/22 for people working with Single Cell genomics data to brainstorm what sort of user group structure might be helpful for their research. 

Single Cell Kickoff meeting summary:

• The group will meet Monthly on the 3rd Monday of each month at 2pm - the first day will be 10/17/22!!!
• The meeting will be hybrid via the DaSL Owl (which helps make the remote experience much more reliable and pleasant) in a Teams meeting (in the Research Data Support Teams team General channel), and the physical component of the meeting will occur typically in the DaSL Lounge (M1-B406) in Arnold when construction is finished, but may “go on the road” as decided by the group
• A Slack channel was created (#single-cell) to collaborate asynchronously and to send out reminders each month to get the group to organize the agenda for the following meeting.

Event ideas included:

• Quickly walk through your favorite tool Vignette or your own “how I did this” live with the group to spawn conversation
• Host SciComp to talk about best practices for infrastructure for single cell analysis at Fred Hutch
• Hosting vendors to discover new kits and reagents for experimental design support
• Discuss “best practices” and curate that information in a Pathway on the SciWiki for topics like access methods, data management, analysis tools
• Discuss an analysis from the perspective of a downstream analysis and validation of the results
• Twitter thread day! Share and discuss something we all learned from an excellent Twitter rabbit hole.
