Welcome to miniWOW PDX!

Based on the Mozilla Science Lab's Working Open Workshops in Berlin (2016) http://bit.ly/moz_wow and Montreal (2017) https://mzl.la/2017wow

Registration closes on April 7, 2017! To register, please fill out this form.

Do you have an idea for a project that will help the scientific community or impact the way scientists work? It could be software, an advocacy project, an effort to bring science to the people, or something else entirely. Getting a project off the ground is daunting, and most of us aren’t trained in project management and community building skills.

At our first mini Working Open Workshop, Mozilla Science Lab staff, Fellows, and community will run a set of trainings to help participants take projects from idea to launch. This page will serve as a resource for all session materials. Save the date for the Mozilla Global Sprint on June 1 - 2 2017!

This event is sponsored by Mozilla Science Lab, The OHSU Library, and Women in Science Portland.

Full disclosure: We will accept registrations after 4/7/17, but please register ASAP so we can get yummy food.

Projects

Here are the projects and people joining the miniWOW PDX support cohort! To be updated at the end of the workshop!.

Why not Open Science? Listening as a means to guide action.
Daniela Saderi (USA) and Amie Fairs (Netherlands)
We will develop a survey to explore the underlying reasons for failure to adopt open-science (OS) practices in academia. The survey will seek to: 1) Understand researchers’ knowledge of and engagement with OS practices; 2) Learn about obstacles that prevent them from engaging in OS practices; 3) Ask what would incentivize them to adopt OS practices. First we will test the survey in our home institutions, but our goal is to distribute the survey to other academic institutions across the globe.
