JuliaCon 2022 (Times are UTC)

Kyla McConnell

Kyla McConnell and Julia Müller are Ph.D. students at the University of Freiburg, where
they conduct quantitative psycholinguistic research and teach graduate-level statistics
and data skills. They co-organize two groups for gender inclusivity in programming: Julia
Gender Inclusive (@juliainclusive) and R-Ladies Freiburg (@RLadiesFreiburg).
Through these groups, they have fostered a passion for data science and statistical
education, particularly for underrepresented genders. You can find their many
workshops for beginners and more experienced programmers alike on the Julia
Programming Language and R-Ladies Global Youtube channels, and by following us on
Twitter (@McConnellKyla & @JuliaMuellerFr).

Building an inclusive (and fun!) Julia community
Kyla McConnell, Julia Müller

A critical component of any programming language’s potential for impact is the diversity of its
community! A supportive, inclusive community draws in new learners, brings fresh perspectives
to package development, and ultimately expands the reach a language has.
