16 Pilots Scheduled: Who Is Teaching the Open Science Lessons
In January we put out a call for community pilots. Sixteen instructors across the US and UK responded. That’s more than we expected this quickly, and it spans 10 different lessons.
Here’s who’s teaching what:
| Lesson | Instructor | Institution |
|---|---|---|
| Authoring Open Science | Nicky Garland | University of York (UK) |
| Authoring Open Science | Rachel Caldwell | UMass Amherst |
| Data Dashboards with R | Nathaniel Porter | Virginia Tech |
| Data Dashboards with R | Renee Ng | UC San Diego |
| A Path to Open | Laurisa Sastoque | University of Southampton (UK) |
| A Path to Open | Jennifer Chaput | UMass Amherst |
| ORCID for Librarians | Kent Gerber | University of Minnesota |
| ORCID for Librarians | Christine Turner | UMass Amherst |
| ORCID + Reproducible Workflows | Rachel Fernandez | Arizona State |
| Reproducible Research Workflows | Eric Toole | UMass Amherst |
| Open Qualitative Research | Jess Hagman | UIUC |
| Open Qualitative Research | Dessi Kirilova | Syracuse / QDR |
| Cloud Workflows | Renee Ng | UC San Diego |
| Containers and Virtual Machines | Brendan Kelly | UMass Amherst |
| DMP 101 | Jennifer Stubbs | Bradley / CARLI |
| DMP 101 | Hannah Sutherland | UCLA Library |
Two things worth noting. First, two UK institutions are in the mix. These lessons are in the Carpentries Workbench and open to anyone, so that’s not surprising — but it’s good to see. Second, several lessons are getting multiple pilots at different institutions. That’s exactly what moves a lesson from Alpha toward Beta: different instructors, different audiences, different contexts.
We’re still looking for pilots, especially at community colleges, R2s, and public libraries. Most lessons run 1.5 to 4 hours and don’t require specialized expertise. If you want to teach one, open a pilot interest issue or email tdennis@library.ucla.edu.
