Join Sam Donovan this Friday, February 7th, for a conversation about "Exploring the intersections of Open Science and Open Education: Building a network of people, projects, and protocols to support effective undergraduate biology education."

Open Science describes a set of emerging practices that aim to make “scientific knowledge openly available, accessible and reusable for everyone, … and to open the processes of scientific knowledge creation, evaluation, and communication to societal actors beyond the traditional scientific community” (UNESCO, 2021). Leveraging Open Science resources for undergraduate biology education can provide students with rich scientific experiences; however, it requires that faculty and students develop the skills required to use those resources responsibly. The BioQUEST Curriculum Consortium is hosting a Research Coordination Network that brings together diverse stakeholders representing the breadth of both Open Science (OS) and Open Education (OE) communities. The goals of this network include highlighting existing work at the intersection of OS and OE, exploring strategies for supporting FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles in the curation of those resources, and promoting effective teaching and learning using these resources. This introduction to the Network will provide an overview of the project and describe opportunities for teachers to explore the use of more open science resources in their classrooms.
