Data science shifts

The postgraduate team working on Ask-JGI are expected to work collaboratively to manage the Ask-JGI mailbox. This activity has been designed to allow ad-hoc working, so that queries can be picked up within the constraints of Ask-JGI student PhD studies and other work/university commitments.

To make sure that there is always at least one team member checking the Ask-JGI mailbox a throughout the day, Ask-JGI students are required to sign up for so-called data science shifts. Typically one or two students will be “on shift” (see here for more details). Students on shift will keep the rest of the team up-to-date at Weekly meetings.

More information on these data science shifts can be found in the upcoming sections of this book, or directly through the following links:
