CDC?s Office of Minority Health and Health Equity (OMHHE) is proud to present a new 2-part blog series on gendered racism. Authored by OMHHE?s Desmond Banks, MPH, PhD and Shanice Battle, MPH, PhD, these blogs focus on gendered racism from the perspective of a Black man and Black woman.

Library Carpentry focuses on building software and data skills within library and information-related communities. Their hands-on, approachable workshops empower people in a variety of roles to use software and data in their own work and support effective, efficient, reproducible practices. Learn more about Library Carpentry on their website. For more information on the December 2022 Region 5 Library Carpentry Workshop, please visit the Region 5 Blog. The Library Carpentry workshops are open to all, and the training will focus on skills for library workers. We encourage anyone interested in Library Carpentry skills to register, no prior knowledge is needed. We will prioritize registration from Region 5 states (Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and U.S. Territories and Freely Associated States); however, if we are not able to fill all 25 spots with Region 5 participants we will be accepting non-Region 5 registrants on a first come first serve basis. Any questions about the Library Carpentry workshops can be directed to nnlm@uw.edu.
