Panel getting spicy at @broadercollabs 😍

[Sunny Sanyal @SunnySanyal9]

The second panel is happening right now. We have a very diverse panel consisting of people from academia, industry and funding agencies. Finally it's moderated by @sarahookr.

[Rosanne Liu @savvyRL]

I have to be on this panel in an hour (!), but I feel unprepared so I used ChatGPT to get familiar with the topic. Seeing its first response, I asked again adding "for 8 year olds".. OK I think I'm ready for the panel! 👶

[Broadening Research Collaborations @ NeurIPS 2022 @broadercollabs]

We're live again! Come listen to our incredible next three contributed talks :)

[Broadening Research Collaborations @ NeurIPS 2022 @broadercollabs]

From 12:15 to 1pm, we’ll have our next 3 contributed talks. (4) @vdean314 on a new robot benchmark to democratize robot learning, (5) Christopher Akiki on the social construction of a multilingual LLM, (6) Shiro Takagi on using Github for organizing the research project workflow

[Broadening Research Collaborations @ NeurIPS 2022 @broadercollabs]

We're having our poster session right now! Come check out all of our amazing posters and chat with the authors. We're all super friendly :-)

[Broadening Research Collaborations @ NeurIPS 2022 @broadercollabs]

Then we’ll have a lunch break during which we’ll have our poster sessions from 11:15-12:15pm. We’ll be having 15 stellar posters for you to check out. Check out the posters and the papers ahead of time on our workshop site: https://t.co/DInYy9dFk9
