This month's "welcome back" meet-up & pizza social is hosted by the D-Lab! We'll meet in the D-Lab Collaboratory and learn about the D-Lab's services, trainings, and spaces. Firuzan Melike Sümertaş, a current D-Lab Data Science Fellow, will share a lightning talk about her research on the urban/architectural/visual culture of the late Ottoman Empire and its capital city Istanbul, including her use of digital humanities methods. Plus, of course, there will be opportunities to chat with other folks on campus about what they're doing with GIS & mapping.

The GIS & Mapping Community of Practice is an informal meetup that offers participants an opportunity to get to know other people using mapping tools and techniques across campus, regardless of discipline. Whether you're just getting started exploring GIS & Mapping or a seasoned pro (or anywhere in between!), all are welcome to participate in the GIS & Mapping Community of Practice. Bring your questions and get excited to meet fellow mappers!

Location information: We'll meet in the D-Lab Collaboratory, located at 356 Social Sciences Building
