It’s been a BIG summer of conferences—packed with ideas, momentum, and community. Here’s a quick rundown of where I’ve been showing up (and what I’m carrying forward). 🧵👇

Join us to explore strategies for engaging faculty and students with open science principles and practices.

An important conversation about support for open education practices.

Citizen science - an important component of the open science landscape.

This is Dr. Melanie Lenahan. She is a biology professor. She organized a #RIOSLearningCommunity (with Dr. Drew Lewis) that explored alternative grading practices. This is what she said about it. #LetsLearnTogether

Follow along as we launch our Summer BIOME meeting. @bioquest.bsky.social

I had a wonderful time participating in the teach-the-teachers CRISPR course co-organized by Sonali Roy, held at the beautiful MIT campus. The participants were HBCU faculty & local high school biol teachers. Lectures in the morning and labs in the afternoon, thanks to Maxine & Masami. 👍👍🧬 #PlantSci
