What does “Rubin Research Byte (RRB)” mean for the 2023 PCW?
For the Rubin 2023 PCW, “Rubin Research Bytes” (RRBs) are asynchronous virtual contributions for which there is no corresponding live virtual breakout session. This is similar to the 2022 PCW, but different from 2021.
Contributed RRBs can be about any Rubin-related work or research, be it conceptual, ongoing, or completed.
RRBs should be SHORT. Limit uploaded slide decks to 3 slides, recorded videos to 3 minutes, and abstracts for slides/posters/videos to 3 sentences. In lieu of uploaded materials, RRBs could display up to 3 plots and provide up to 3 paragraphs of text discussing them (see this “blog-style” RRB as an example).
Who can participate? All PCW attendees, virtual and in-person, are welcome to post RRBs. You don’t have to submit an abstract first, and there is no deadline. Anyone presenting a poster or talk is welcome to also contribute it as an RRB. All PCW attendees are encouraged to view RRBs and reply in-thread to ask questions or discuss the content of the RRBs. After the PCW, this category will be archived (read-only).
