How can we engage new team members to assist with important clerical tasks? #113

Open alintheopen opened 11 years ago

alintheopen commented 11 years ago

This issue is tagged as 'non-science' as some of the clerical work does not require scientific understanding although some writing would be more suited to a chemist/biologist. @mattodd and @alintheopen are currently taking care of most administrative/clerical tasks. The team could benefit hugely from some new members who are willing to keep the wiki updated and write blogs from time to time. Keeping the project wiki updated is essential to attract new team members and to keep those floating in and out of the project up to speed on current issues/successes.

If I ever get jaded and leave the field of synthesis entirely, I'll be all over this - at the moment, I can't commit to regularly spend much time on stuff that isn't chemistry.

Someone suggested - it may have been Paul - that we could engage interns who would like experience of science communication over the holidays. As Alice has been advocating we can, as a consortium, agree to write testimonials about the work that has been performed. Naturally the work itself will in any case be public domain. I have in mind both the wiki, as well as a possible broader background document about the nature of the research - chemical synthesis up to phenotypic drug discovery. I will run this by my Faculty of Science, but others should consider this too - perhaps going via Uni Marketing and Communications people.
