Thanks for a marvelous fifth session last Wednesday. Thank you to Karen, Ali and Greg for making this inaugural SWRCB cohort happen, a BIG THANK YOU to our cohort leaders Anna and Corey for their exceptional leadership, and huge thanks to all of the teams for contributions to conversations and notes throughout this Openscapes process. We loved hearing about your Pathways last week and are looking forward to continued conversations and momentum around how the SWRCB community can do better science in less time - for future you, your teams, and your collaborators!
A few things to wrap up:
Openscapes survey - Openscapes improves with each cohort based on candid feedback; please respond by Friday Nov 11
Blog post - we'll draft this in our CohortCalls folder next week; we invite you to add comments or suggestions if you’re interested.
2-month check-in on Wednesday, December 14 - we want to give out those hard earned stickers! and say hello in person :) Details will be added to the Outlook calendar invite.
We are so grateful for your thoughtful engagement and impressed with your progress and pathway plans. We hope you continue to iterate your Seaside Chats with your teams and we are happy to meet with your teams during a Seaside Chat since not everyone from each team was able to make it to our last call. Please just send us a Teams message or email to schedule!
Goals: Each team shared their AMAZING pathway and we discussed how to keep momentum going forward.
Themes that came across through the final pathways shares:
More people/teams to go through the Openscapes process so we can normalize language, process, culture! +1+1
More space/opportunities for various teams to collaborate or have working sessions +1+1
More GitHub training / team time to work together on these new workflows +1
Time dedicated to working on our documentation process, these things take a lot of time and effort to carryout successfully and with a purpose oriented mindset +1+1+1+1
More training/guidance/resources for using different software - e.g. R, Python, GitHub, etc.+1+1
You can put it on your website, like the Wood Lab and the Fay Lab!
A few lines from shared notes in the Agenda doc:
Supportive and supported culture around sharing imperfect work, psychological safety, trust, etc. so that we have stong, teams and comradery as we do this really difficult work +1
Time to do the things! +1+1+1+1+1+1+1+++++1
Encourage Management to share resources more, if possible. We gain our strength through our knowledge and learning from each other. The PFAS team was based on sharing resources. It is an interesting model to think about.+1
