We're delighted to have you here. All are welcome - no sign-ups needed. (We do recommend bringing your actual tea, coffee, water, etc. to this cafe! :coffee: :sparkles: :cake:)

**What?** [Collaboration Cafes](https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/community-handbook/coworking/coworking-collabcafe.html) are **online collaboration and coworking calls** that engage anyone interested in learning and discussing about research best practices and sharing them on The Turing Way book: https://the-turing-way.netlify.com

These are our regular community calls: where folks work on contributions to the project, discuss shared interests, or learn about how to get involved!
