[Sora] SORA Update & Resources

[Hannah Osinga]

Hi, SORA members!
 
The SORA executive committee had started to plan an exciting program for you earlier this year, including three events, monthly happy hour meetups, supporting at least one interest group and launching a data literacy initiative. Then, the coronavirus happened and is still happening. I hope that you're all healthy.
 
SORA is planning to host a virtual event in the fall. This will be our first fully virtual event. We'll be in touch later this year with more details about it. You’re always welcome to reach out with suggestions for future content.
 
If you're interested in learning about research, data, and statistics, check-out the following resources and events recommended by the executive committee:
