Support

Scientist spotlights group - I believe the resource is now updated based on all feedback and needed changes. Please let me know if there are any additional edits needed. 

The institutional information is automatically pulled from the "organization" field on your QUBES account profile. If this needs updating, you will need to go into your account profile to make any necessary changes, as I can not change it on my end. 

Hope to see you at the viewing party today at 4 pm EST to celebrate all the working groups' accomplishments! Congratulations!

They might like to collaborate with us….Let me know what you think?

Hi Pat and Sarah,

Sorry for the delay in responding to your latest email. It sounds like our interests overlap substantially. We would be very interested in talking with you about your plans and any potential collaboration. We are in Year 1 of our grant, so we are also developing scientist profiles (although, through Project Biodiversify) and additional Data Nugget materials to increase representation. 

Here are some of the key areas that your efforts and ours might be able to combine: 

1) Depending on interest, teaching level and specialization, we might be able to offer participants in your FMN the opportunity to join our research study that starts Fall 2021. This would be a great way for them to apply what they are experiencing with your FMN at another scale (and there are stipends). This would also benefit us because the instructors would already be interested in merging data literacy and materials that highlight diverse scientist role models. 

2) If Data Nugget activities are part of the materials your FMN participants will be creating, this may overlap with our project goals and we could offer some additional guidance, potentially attend one of the FMN meetings to help everyone get started. 

3) If your participants are creating scientist profiles, we may be able to "cross-pollinate" and supplement Project Biodiversify materials with your spotlights, and vice versa. Jeff Schinske is on our advisory board for this project, but we haven't met with them yet formally. This would be a potential way to expand the efforts by providing resources on both platforms.

We do have postdocs working on this project, so depending on what is a good fit with our mutual objectives, we have some time to put into supporting collaborative efforts. 

Please let me know your thoughts and we would be happy to schedule a virtual meeting to discuss further options.

Thanks!

Melissa
