Blurbs about AIM repositories

[eirini-zormpa]

We don't really have a lot of information about the AIM repositories and the work they are doing - it would be great to have small consortia "intros" here.

[welcome]

🎉 Thanks for opening your first issue in our Getting Started Repository! 🎉

Hey all - looking forward to working with everyone in the AIM RSF.

I will be working as part of the DECODE and MELD-B projects

Looking forward to getting started 🚀

Looking forward to collaborating with you all - I will be working on MELD-B 😄

Hi everyone, I just started last week and I am working on MELD-B project 🚀

[SStannard]

I am also working on the MELD-B project - specifically in a work package focusing on early life and the life course!

Hi @AshleyAkbari @r-k-owen @robertachiovoloni @SStannard, thank you posting here ✨ And apologies for not reacting earlier!

Tagging @rhenkin as he was looking at this in the last Collaboration Cafe too, hope that's okay.

I'd love to continue working on collecting intro information about the consortia, perhaps during the next Collaboration Cafe (on 20 October) or with a lightning talk round of introductions from the consortia in the ECR Lunchtime Session on 3 November. Would any of you be interested in that? And would you prefer a coworking session or a lightning talk session? Let's do an emoji vote (coworking session: 🎉 , lightning talk: 🚀)

I think it'd be really useful to create some intros about the consortia with (at least) information on:

• the main research questions
• the methodologies (broadly) used to answer those questions
• (if you want to) what you personally are working on within your consortium

The idea is to make it visible to each other what the consortia are working on so that, if you are working on similar things, you can help each other out. I think this could be especially useful when it comes to methods, as it might be the case that only one or two people are working with a specific method within one consortium, but other people are using that method in the other consortia.

Let me know what you think 😊

@eirini-zormpa no worries! maybe it would be better to collect the personal info using a hack.md and reuse that? I'm sure I wrote down 2 or 3 times what I'm doing in a previous hack.md for example, and every week there was a new one.. Besides that my vote is for 🎉, I think anything else would depend too much on people committing to do it (and I'm not sure all ECR people are aware of what is going on in their consortium besides their work packages?).

[eirini-zormpa]

Apologies for being MIA, the last week was extremely busy 🙈

That is a good point, I'm sure I can find the previous HackMDs we used and collate what people have already said! I'll do some of this in the next Collab Cafe on 20 October, if anyone would like to join 😊
