Virtual Workshop / Poll - July 2023

The virtual workshop had over 30 attendees and we had 24 responses to the uncertainty poll, about 40% of the uncertainty list membership. Not bad for a summer poll! There was a nice mix of responses from newbies to advanced beginners and right up to the cutting edge. A few highlights: 

• The greatest interest/excitement (by average score) is to Develop methods and visualizations to effectively communicate uncertainty to stakeholders

• Second place goes to hosting a Peer exchange of uncertainties identified vs. tested, input variables and ranges, output metrics.

• All proposed topic areas averaged above a 4.0 except for case studies and a webinar panel, which averaged in the high 3’s. 

There are also some great ideas on focus areas for the uncertainty initiative. These are included in the poll results linked below.
