Bringing Open Science to formal education π«
Open Science is just good science in a digital age. And if we want students and early career researchers to become good scientist, we need to start implementing Open Science in formal education: In Bachelors and/or Masters degrees, in PhD programmes, and beyond. At the Open Science Retreat (see previous newsletter issue) we came up with a syllabus for a one semester course (12 weeks) with 1.5 hours in-person sessions each week and preparation work before each session (blended learning/flipped classroom). We created 8 modules:
If you are in a position that allows you to implement Open Science in a curriculum, feel free to reuse the material.

Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7818768 Easy enough, right? You can of course also use it to get inspiration for designing smaller courses or find learning material if you are currently trying to learn more about Open Science. Because the document we created not only contains a syllabus, but also suggenstions for exercises/assignments and a rich collection of resources. Check it out! Thanks to the wonderful team who created this resource π. I had a blast working with you on this π. Before saying goodbye for this week, I want to leave you with a special announcement: All the best and happy weekend! π Heidi P.S.

Making your research or code project FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and reproducible can feel like a chore. But if you have access to the right templates and resources, it can be quite the simple and rewarding task. Let's make it easy for ourselves to do the right thing! So today let me share some templates for setting up #FAIR and #reproducible projects. I asked folks on social media what suggestions they had and got so many that I was not able to put them all here...
I have volunteered for many initiatives and was always happy to do so. Recently I started to realize that being able to volunteer is a privileged position to be in. To be truly fair and allow all enthusiasts to join an initiative we have to rethink the way we do things. A constructive criticism. I've got to get this off my chest, you all!
