Here are some insights on how to promote open science by Marilyn Moin based on learnings from the hackathon, “Promoting open science in developing countries: a practical guide” led by Hu Chuan-Peng, Zhiqi Xu, Nikita Ghodke, Samiul Hossain, and Alma Jeftic during the #SIPS2024 conference.

Marilyn Garcia, M.A. and a RJS fellow, recently presented her project at the International Network for the Science of Team Science (INSciTS) conference on behalf of RJS and GREEN-MPNA. Learn more about her project here, which discusses the integration of community-based research and team science.

Fantastic initiative, and a real pleasure to be part of it. Hearing about the experiences of other centres across the globe makes clear how important but also how incredibly fragile the whole field is: most centres lack robust infrastructure support and investment, making it difficult to run and maintain activities and, especially, to build and secure the next generation(s) of scholars in the area. For example, for any PhD student we would like to support at the Centre for the Study of Philanthropy & Public Good, we need to find and secure a total funding of around £75,000-£120,000. Thereafter, to fund a single postdoctoral position one is looking at a minimum of £50,000 per annum (including National Insurance, pension, in costs, etc.) that need to be raised. Then, in the absence of any permanent positions in the area over here, all that investment, time, support, and the expertise that has been built over that period, currently often do not even benefit the Scottish (and at times European) philanthropy research field as early career colleagues are faced with an infinitesimally small number of national and international opportunities that might arise but, more likely than not, do not, leading to exits and brain drain from the field in general. So, assuming that one considers the field and its contributions to be important, there is some real work to be done about making it more sustainable in general, but also more attractive and accessible for younger researchers... Just some of the many issues that will need to be explored as part of our forthcoming workshop series “Together for Good: crafting Scotland’s philanthropic journey” - https://lnkd.in/e5tXgmZR

At our #POD2023 roundtable session "Reimagining Mentoring: Sharing Approaches to Mentorship for New Faculty" we had the opportunity to share insights from the Peer Network program for faculty new to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Daytona Beach and start conversations about the role teaching centers can play in starting, supporting, and supplementing mentoring programs at our institutions. We hope to continue these conversations! If you missed the session but are interested in being part of the conversations, you can let us know here: bit.ly/MentoringJoin 

Great to see European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and other EU agencies teaming up with European Partnership for the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals (PARC) to ensure advances in chemical risk assessment are quickly translated into regulatory innovative and robust solutions! Thanks to Claudia Heppner all EFSA colleagues helping to link us to this large EU partnership! #RiskAssessment #Chemicals #Foodsafety
