What don't you know as a Research Facilitator
All the technical "other" things you should know as a research facilitator, but were too afraid to ask. We'll explore what it means to be a research facilitator, how to round out your knowledge base, and turn you from an expert, to a "jack of all trades, master of one(?)."
asteriskmentee preferred attributes:

In all seriousness, the only attribute you need to join this mentorship is a willingness to be open, honest, and admit what you want to learn.  Remember, if you're thinking it, then someone else is, too.  We'll use the first couple sessions to frame out the mentorship to customize it to the group that joins.  

I will seed some ideas to get you thinking:

  1. Do I really need to know anything about schedulers to help my researchers?
  2. History of the world according to Linus, part 1 (part 2 is a prequel according to the lesser known leader of the pre-revolution, Minus).
  3. All the jargon, everywhere, all at once.
  4. When I realize this mentorship isn't all it's cracked up to be, where else can I go to get better?       

Please share your availability for recurring biweekly (every other week) meetings:

Details

You're a specialist.  You know your field.  You know how to be a researcher, a user, a scientist, but what don't you know?  

Do you break into a cold sweat when researchers ask you about the slurm (or wonder what is a slurm and why did NVIDIA buy a scheduling Doctor)?  When technical jargon comes up in a conversation, do you nod your head in agreement and quietly type questions into chatgpt about parallel file systems, bash, infiniband, gnu (how can an acronym be its own acronym and, on that note, how do recursive algorithms work)?  Do you wonder how slitherly reptiles like anacondas and pythons are related to computer programming (or do you only picture JLo and Ice Cube - and, if you don't, then you're too young for this mentorship, or I'm too old).   

Did you join a group dedicated to research facilitators only to realize they're all experts in "fill in specialty here", but are also as clueless as you?  If so, then I have a deal for you, for the low, low price of "sharing your chatgpt password", you can join a mentorship that promises to listen to your questions (and we'll quietly type them into chatgpt), and answer like you should - pretending to be an expert... in everything.
