[ASA] SciCoder Workshops for ECRs

[ASA Early Career Researcher Chapter]

Dear ASA members,

A quick reminder to fill out the pre-registration for the SciCoder 
workshops: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SciCoder-PreReg

Two notes related to the workshops:

1. While the workshop is primarily targeted for ECRs, everyone is 
welcome to attend.
2. The pre-registration is meant to gauge the potential number of 
attendees at any location and ensure that the workshops are financially 
viable. Currently, we do not have sufficient attendees in Brisbane. If 
you are based in Brisbane, please consider attending this fantastic 
training opportunity.

We have already received some requests for funding. We will try our best 
to accommodate everyone.

Cheers,
ASA ECR Chapter Steering Committee
