So today on this #GivingTuesday it's a chance to celebrate + support the people and orgs behind open infrastructure.

Donate, volunteer, amplify—it all counts in supporting and contribute to this work. 💚

But here’s the paradox: When infrastructure works, it can be invisible.

The better it functions, the easier it is to overlook, especially when it’s time to show support.

Scientific open infrastructure is the invisible backbone of research. It’s what connects scientists across disciplines + borders, builds essential skills, sparks collaboration, and preserves knowledge for future discovery.

Every activity we do provides us with 3 payments: pocket/wallet payment, the payment for the heart, and the payment for the brain. "As managers and leaders, as people in charge and responsible for others, we must take care of that balance in the three currencies of payments." @yabellini.bsky.social

Our Executive Director @drkariljordan.carpentries.org spent this week attending the Allstate Foundation's Executive Leadership Program, being one among the accepted cohort of 30! 🌟

This opportunity will be extremely impactful for Kari personally, and also for The Carpentries and our community.
A picture of a desk in a lecture room, with name plaque, two notebooks, and a jar of candy on it. The name plaque reads: KARI JORDAN - THE CARPENTRIES. The cover of one notebook has "Allstate Foundation" on it, and the other has "ME PROJECT". In front of the desk we see the back of the person sitting at the desk ahead. On the wall further ahead a projector screen is visible, with the following eligible text: "Welcome to the Kellogg School Center for Nonprofit Management."
