ABRIR team led by the amazing @alelazic.bsky.social developed workshop plan that aims to strenghten DEI in #OpenScience- by reversing who gets to teach and who learns. We’re getting ready to pilot it! Special thanks to @orca-open.bsky.social for financial support.
Who gets to teach about #OpenScience, and who learns? With our new workshop plan, we want to flip the script.

Grateful to co-lead the creation of the plan (V1 👀) with @nscorralfrias.bsky.social & our amazing @abrir.bsky.social team

I am nervous but also excited about this. Expressing excitement is not my strength; rest assured I am feeling it inside. I am also glad that I am not alone and continue to be grateful for the cheers and support from my colleagues at @abrir.bsky.social @almajeftic.bsky.social @brendanchng.bsky.social
