OSCER users,

Due to the absence of one of our Research Computing Facilitator on July 31st, we have to delay this workshop about a week later. The new date and time for this workshop is Thursday August 8th 2024, 1pm-3pm.
We will send out an updated invitation next week.
Sorry for the inconvenience this might cause.

On behalf of OSCER team,
Thang
