SUMMARY:MS2B - Communicating High Performance Computing for Democratizing 
 Science
DESCRIPTION:Minisymposium\n\nMore than ever before, high-performance compu
 ting (HPC) is at the forefront of grand scientific challenges that signifi
 cantly impact public life, ranging from the virulence of the SARS-CoV-2 pa
 ndemic to our understanding of the climate in the future with ever-changin
 g weather patterns. Meanwhile, the massive infrastructure projects and she
 er expense of high-performance computing systems limit the public's access
  to the understanding of the methodology and limit the inclusion of global
  scientists and perspectives. Political and social theorists have long rec
 ognized the relationship between inclusion, communication, democratization
  with public adoption, uptake, and trust. This minisymposium reviews the r
 ecent efforts of HPC scientists in disseminating their work through public
  media and public policy. It will also discuss broader implications for HP
 C, including how simulation interfaces with public reason and civil societ
 y and what a model of global inclusion might look like for HPC.\n\nIntegra

 rt Public Health Decision Making\n\nOzik\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic has high
 lighted the need for detailed modeling approaches that can capture the man
 y complexities of emerging infectious diseases. In response, our group dev
 eloped CityCOVID, a distributed agent-based model capable of tracking COVI
 D-19 transmission in large, urban areas. Through...\n\n-------------------

 municating Science\n\nDommer\n\n“The virus is an airborne threat,” the CDC
  admitted in May 2021, finally acknowledging the avalanche of evidence and
  shouts from thousands of physicians, infectious disease experts, and aero
 sol scientists. It took 16 months into the deadly COVID-19 pandemic for th

 ble, Not Just What’s Done\n\nClyde\n\nMost front-page journal articles foc
 us on a finished research product like a new drug for an overlooked diseas
 e or breakthrough technology. When it comes to computing research, often i
 t is presented as a one-off achievement with little scrutiny towards its g
 enerality, impact, and dual uses. By shari...\n\n---------------------\nFo
 stering Dialogue and Building Trust in HPC: Case Studies in Bridging Biolo
 gy, Computing, and Communities\n\nAatresh\n\nIn thinking about building re

 ys in which innovation in science and technology are shaped by and shaping
  of societal dynamics. Vaccines are only as effec...\n\n\nDomain: Climate,
