We are a home for Earth science data and computing professionals. Our sessions bring together the community for hands-on, interdisciplinary deep dives as we explore "Bridging Divides: Data, Technology, Community" this year. Learn more about this theme on the ESIP Meetings page.

Session and plenary recordings will be published on the ESIP YouTube Channel.
Tuesday July 28, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm CDT
We hide our failures. Our resumes and CVs sing of our accomplishments, but not the twisted path we took to get there. In this session, three community leaders will proudly tell tales of their professional failures: the impact they had, what their response was, and with hindsight, what it might have been in a kinder universe. This session is offered in support of every researcher with imposter syndrome, every scientist who didn't get an experiment to work, and everyone who had a dream job turned nightmare. Significant audience participation is expected.

Audience
Early career researchers who want to learn how others have failed and pivoted; experienced professionals who want to know they aren't alone; everyone in between
