Pathways to Open Science is a remote event series for Black environmental & marine researchers to build community for the future of data intensive science. This is an ongoing collaboration with Black in Marine Science (BIMS), Black Women in Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Science (BWEEMS), and HBCU marine science professors led by Ileana Fenwick, with Alex Davis, PhD, and Aneese Williams. The series will begin on January 25, 2024!
Program Details
This remote event series will convene Black environmental and marine researcher community members with the goal of developing a mindset for Open Data Science: the tools and practices enabling reproducible, transparent, and inclusive practices for data intensive science. If you’re feeling bogged down by folders full of files with names like “analysis_final_v5.xlsx” and/or like empowering others, we welcome you to join us!
This 6-part remote event series runs on Thursdays, January 25 - February 29. Event format will alternate weekly (all virtual):
- 3 community calls: 1.5 hour calls from 5:00 - 6:30pm ET with facilitated discussion, mini-lectures and community conversations with Black data scientists, data science leaders and students
- January 25, February 8, 22
- 3 coworking sessions: 1 hour calls from 5:00 - 6:00pm ET structured for folks to bring their own work, their code, or questions, screenshare, and come learn a new skill with us!
- February 1, 15, 29
Register (free)
Register via Zoom. If you are a Black marine scientist and/or an HBCU student, we would love to have you! We hope you are able to attend all six events, however, you are welcome to join as many as you are able to. Please invite others to join you! If you are an ally, please help us amplify Black voices; we suggest allies do not sign up for this particular series.

Funding
The 2024 Pathways event series is supported by Openscapes LLC, with funding from Mozilla Foundation’s Alumni Connection grants, allowing us to collaborate with PREreview and Antoinette Foster, PhD to bring expertise in values-guided career navigation and anti-racist scholarly review to the programming this year. Pathways to Open Science was kicked off with 2023 support from Code for Science & Society through the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Thank you!
