Are you highlighting #OpenScience activities in your CV, or know someone who does? I am looking for examples to include (of course in anonymized form) as examples in a book chapter. For example, I once came across a CV with small open science badges and would love to include this!

#Funding panels always remind me how much time and expertise goes into reviewing applications made to @cancerresearchuk.org.

I'm currently sitting in a meeting of 20+ experts reviewing a range of applications from researchers at varied career stages.

#Science at its best.
