Hello fellow CRU members!

With the holidays approaching, and with lots of related events happening in the next few months, we're going to push our next CRU meeting until after the new year. If you have an idea for a talk, lightning talk, workshop, panel discussion, or anything else you're interested in presenting, sign up here to volunteer to present at a future CRU meetup!

In the meantime, take a look at Patrick's email below. A few highlights:

This Friday, Nov 14, UVA School of Data Science will host our annual data science conference. This year's Datapalooza theme is a good one: Truth and Accountability in the Age of AI. Register (free) here.

And December 3 you're in for a treat. Aniruddha Adiga, a Research Assistant Professor at the UVA Biocomplexity Institute, and CRU co-organizer VP (Pete) Nagraj, a practicing data scientist and Ph.D. candidate at the UVA School of Data Science, will discuss the evolving methods, data sources, and technical infrastructure shaping how we predict and respond to infectious disease outbreaks. RSVP here!

It’s a busy week in the Charlottesville data science and technology community! In addition to Charlottesville Data Science’s November event this Wednesday, our friends at UVA Data Science are hosting their signature fall event on Friday, Datapalooza 2025: Truth and Accountability in the Age of AI.

Here’s what their event page has to say:

[O]ur signature fall event bring[s] together faculty, students, alumni, and partners to showcase data science in action — across disciplines and for the public good. This year’s afternoon programming features innovative research at intersections like Data and Design, Data and the Physical World, Data and Health, Data and Algorithms, Data and Culture, and Data and National Security.

In addition to a keynote about the risks of digital authoritarianism and a variety of breakout sessions, Datapalooza will feature professional headshots, resume reviews, poster sessions, building tours, and networking sessions, and more. Datapalooza is free and open to the public, but advance registration is required.

Other upcoming events around Charlottesville

Wednesday, November 12: We’ve rescheduled Kim Scott’s talk Ditch the Anxiety, Make Bold Moves, and Design Your Meaningful Tech Career as Charlottesville Data Science’s November event! Join us at Vault Virginia on the Downtown Mall to learn about practical tools and mindset shifts that tech professionals can use to stay calm, collected, and direct their energy to what matters most.

Friday, November 14-Saturday, November 15: beCamp 2025, Charlottesville’s long-running annual “unconference” for technologists, creatives, and builders, will take place at the Looking Glass Art Bar (Friday evening) and Studio IX (Saturday). It’s entirely community-driven — no preset agenda, no panels, no keynotes. On Friday night, participants pitch and vote on ideas for sessions, then spend Saturday diving into the conference schedule they’ve created together. beCamp is free to attend, but advance registration is required.

Thursday, November 20: The Charlottesville Rust Meetup will host an online meetup focused on Tock, an open-source, Rust-based operating system used to run multiple concurrent, mutually distrustful applications on embedded platforms, from security processors to automotive systems.

Monday, December 1: The Call for Proposals for speakers at the 2026 RVATech Data & AI Summit closes. It would be great to see members of the Charlottesville Data Science community on stage in Richmond!

Wednesday, December 3: Join Charlottesville Data Science for our December event, Forecasting the Next Outbreak: Data Science for Epidemiology. In this double-feature, Aniruddha Adiga, a Research Assistant Professor at the UVA Biocomplexity Institute, and VP Nagraj, a practicing data scientist and Ph.D. candidate at the UVA School of Data Science, will discuss the evolving methods, data sources, and technical infrastructure shaping how we predict and respond to infectious disease outbreaks. We’ll be gathering in person at the UVA School of Data Science.
