"Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that's precise, predictive and reliable - a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional.  We must embark on a cultural shift that places science in its rightful place...as an indispensable part of what makes life worth living."   -B. Greene

Dear Education and Outreach Managers,

On our last call, several of you indicated that it would be helpful to have some additional training and support on how to lead and steward online collaborations and communities -- whether you're supporting parents in home schooling or trying to figure out how to run a virtual REU program.

The Mozilla Foundation has developed a variety of best practices for what they call "working open," or what I would call effective collaboration. A previous version of the Mozilla course is available at The Open Leadership Series<https://mozilla.github.io/open-leadership-training-series/articles/readme/> and I've recently learned that they are about to launch a new version focused on Movement Building from Home<https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/blog/new-movement-building-home-community-calls/>. The free series runs from April 14-May 7, 2020.

This is the basic framework behind OpenScapes<https://www.openscapes.org/>, led by Julia Stewart Lowndes, which Cora has touted and which you may have seen recently in Scientific American<https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/open-software-means-kinder-science/> and Nature<https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-03335-4>. The techniques are pretty straightforward, but experiencing them in action is the key to really grasping their potential.

The activist language can be off-putting at first for scientists, but the basic skills are the same, whether your community is one of health care workers, or urban tenants, STEM teachers, or REUs.

I encourage anyone looking to build these skills to register for the Mozilla community calls and set aside a few hours a week over the next few weeks. If we get critical mass, we can also identify a time in late April or early May when we can get together to discuss how what you're learning on the Mozilla calls applies to the challenges of doing remote education at an LTER site.

Thanks,

Marty
