Talk about LIGO data for OECD Workshop

Public gravitational wave data: the last mile

The last mile problem in transportation describes the challenge of connecting people's homes to dense networks of transportation, such as subway systems. When creating a public data release, we have a similar last mile problem. A community of experts relies on a dense network of colleagues and resources to understand and utilize data from LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA. If we want our public data release to be useable by a large, diverse audience, we need to create solutions that connect non-experts to this network of resources. This talk will explore solutions like workshops, web apps, and message boards to solve the last mile problem to support public data releases.
