As part of her work with the NASA Astronomical Virtual Observatories, Tess has been leading a recurring workshop on how to access NASA Astrophysics data sets via Python.

Afterwards, the workshop materials were changed to use pyvo underneath where possible. </div><div><br></div><div>- Also, the political need to make the tutorial notebooks multi-archive have revealed inconsistencies in our interpretation of registry metadata. That has led to the ongoing review of our registry metadata.</div><div><br></div><div>I could probably also wrangle someone from IPAC to discuss how designing non-API, graphical user interfaces for multiple missions is made much simpler through the use of VO protocols. In a sense, the bridge to the research community is the GUI itself. And, as when using Python, even though users don't necessarily know or care if they are using VO protocols, those protocols are critically important for the developers. CSP member Gregory Dubois-Felsmann, and IPAC scientist who works on Rubin and SPHEREx would be a good choice to represent this angle. And I do think it's an important one. I do believe that if we could convince data *providers* to adopt VO protocols, that users would just adopt them with little effort. Because they have to solve problems that are a lot more difficult to analyse their data anyways!</div></div><div><br></div><div>My 2 cents.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Vandana</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Oct 7, 2021 at 2:08 AM ada nebot <<a href="mailto:ada.nebot@astro.unistra.fr">ada.nebot@astro.unistra.fr</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">Dear All, <div><br></div><div>As we talked about the other day, we will have a CSP 1 hour panel discussion in the coming interop to talk about how we reach astronomers. </div><div><br></div><div>The idea of the panel is to learn how we interact with the researchers.
