<p>This week-long event included notable moments bringing together the high throughput community. The presentation by HTC24’s keynote speaker <a href="https://biostat.wiscweb.wisc.edu/staff/gitter-anthony/">Anthony Gitter</a>, Associate Professor and Principal Investigator at the Morgridge Institute for Research, inspired the audience. His talk, “<a href="https://agenda.hep.wisc.edu/event/2175/contributions/30970/">Unleashing the power of protein engineering with artificial intelligence</a>” explored the intersection of AI and protein engineering in synthetic biology. Gitter discussed AI-guided approaches like Mutational Effect Transfer Learning (METL) for predicting the effects of sequence modifications on protein function. The talk also discussed advancements in supervised learning models and deep mutational scanning techniques, showcasing AI’s transformative potential in optimizing protein functionalities for medicine and industry.</p>

<p>Other sessions concentrated on integrating campuses into the OSPool and the OSDF, featuring talks by National Science Foundation (NSF) Program Director <a href="https://www.nsf.gov/staff/staff_bio.jsp?lan=kthompso&amp;org=NSF&amp;from_org=NSF">Kevin Thompson</a>, <a href="https://www.sdsc.edu/research/researcher_spotlight/wuerthwein_frank.html">Frank Wuerthwein</a>, OSG Campus Coordinator <a href="https://osg-htc.org/about/team/">Tim Cartwright</a>, and Minority Serving – Cyberinfrastructure (CI) Consortium Facilitator <a href="https://agenda.hep.wisc.edu/event/2175/contributions/31349/">Russell Hofmann</a>. Thompson addressed the pivotal role of the <a href="https://new.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/campus-cyberinfrastructure-cc">Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CC*) Program</a> in advancing networking capabilities essential for scientific research and education (R&amp;E). Focusing on upgrading campus networks and fostering partnerships to optimize cyberinfrastructure for scientific discovery. Wuerthwein transitioned to the challenge encountered by institutions of higher learning that lack the resources or expertise to maintain the batch and storage clusters necessary for joining the OSG. He proposed solutions aimed at reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) for compute and data infrastructure.</p>

<p>Additionally, Tim Cartwright, OSG Campus Coordinator, provided an overview of OSG Campus Services and its tailored support for campuses at various engagement stages with the OSG. Following this, <a href="https://htcondor.org/featured-users/2023-01-23-get-to-know-todd.html">Todd Tannenbaum</a>, HTCondor Software Lead, expanded on Cartwright’s themes and introduced the new <a href="https://agenda.hep.wisc.edu/event/2175/contributions/31350/">HTCondor-CE dashboard</a> which will be rolled out to campuses contributing resources to the OSPool this month.</p>

<p>Adding some lighter notes, CHTC’s Todd Tannenbaum and <a href="https://www.cs.wisc.edu/staff/thain-gregory/">Greg Thain</a> introduced the Early Late Night Show, a Late Night Show parody, with a CHTC twist. Host of the show, Tannenbaum, light heartedly interviewed Miron Livny, Frank Wurthwein, and Brian Bockelman.</p>

<p>As well as the educational and comedic segments of HTC24 week, participants also took part in numerous activities outside of the meeting rooms, allowing them to strengthen their relationships with each other and to develop robust ties between collaborating working groups. Following Tuesday’s session, CHTC’s Todd Tannenbaum led a group on a bike ride around the UW Arboretum. Participants also had opportunities throughout the week to kick back at the Memorial Union Terrace, kayak on Lake Wingra, and sing karaoke. The week wasn’t without its unexpected moments either—like the memorable eveningwhere 12 conference-goers and staff found themselves unexpectedly stuck in an elevator. They were rescued by firefighters who opened the elevator hatch and provided a ladder for them to escape. This unplanned event prompted shared jokes and camaraderie, leading to suggestions that for next year’s HTC week, an elevator bonding session or escape room should be added to the official social schedule.</p>
