I'm the Community Manager of @digiresacademy, https://digital-research.academy/ - "...a grassroots trainer network. We offer training with the goal of improving the quality of research."), as part of which I'm helping to organise the next Open Science Retreat (#OSR26UK,
https://open.science-retreat.org/ - an unconference/hackathon/retreat for those in the open science world, next April in Wales) - we're currently looking for sponsors, get in touch if this is you or you have suggestions!

... and I'm involved in setting up Corvus Coop (WIP: https://corvus-coop.org/ - "We're open researchers, humanitarians, tech nerds, with a goal to collaborate together to make the world and the domains we work in more pleasant places.")...

...and RCM co-op (https://www.rcmcooperative.com/ - a co-op for research community managers, "We work with and for communities to develop and refine their capacity for equitable, resiliant and collaborative research."), and I'm interested in the place of co-ops in the research infrastructure landscape more generally!
OK, that's enough for now, HELLO! 👋 ✨

We are a network of scientists, developers and organizations building the next generation of digital spaces for open science.
