Science For All - Sci4All

Project Lead: Teresa Laguna @tlaguna

Project team: Laura Marcos @laurichi13

Mentor: Katharina Lauer @klauer2207

Welcome to OLS-2! This issue will be used to track your project and progress during the program. Please use this checklist over the next few weeks as you start Open Life Science program :tada:.

Week 1 (31 August - 4 September 2020): Meet your mentor!

[x] Create an account on GitHub
[x] Check if you have access to the HackMD notes set up for your meetings with your mentor
[x] Prepare to meet your mentor(s) by completing a short homework provided in the HackMD notes
[x] Complete your own copy of the open leadership self-assessment and share it to your mentor If you're a group, each teammate should complete this assessment individually. This is here to help you set your own personal goals during the program. No need to share your results, but be ready to share your thoughts with your mentor.
[x] Make sure you know when and how you'll be meeting with your mentor.

Before Week 2 (7 - 11 September 2020): Cohort Call (Welcome to Open Life Science!)

[x] Create an issue on the OLS-2 GitHub repository for your OLS work and share the link to your mentor.
[x] Draft a brief vision statement using your goals This lesson from the Open Leadership Training Series (OLTS) might be helpful
[x] Leave a comment on this issue with your draft vision statement & be ready to share this on the call
[x] Check the Syllabus for notes and connection info for all the cohort calls.

Before Week 3 (14 - 18 September 2020): Meet your mentor!

[x] Look up two other projects and comment on their issues with feedback on their vision statement
[x] Complete this compare and contrast assignment about current and desired community interactions and value exchanges
[x] Complete your Open Canvas (instructions, canvas)
[x] Share a link to your Open Canvas in your GitHub issue
[x] Start your Roadmap
[x] Comment on your issue with your draft Roadmap
[x] Suggest a cohort name at the bottom of the shared notes and vote on your favorite with a +1

Before Week 4 (21 - 25 September 2020): Cohort Call (Tooling and roadmapping for Open projects)

[x] Look up two other projects and comment on their issues with feedback on their open canvas.

Week 5 and later

[x] Create a GitHub repository for your project
[x] Add the link to your repository in your issue
[x] Use your canvas to start writing a README.md file, or landing page, for your project
[x] Link to your README in a comment on this issue
[ ] Add an open license to your repository as a file called LICENSE.md
[ ] Add a Code of Conduct to your repository as a file called CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
[ ] Invite new contributors to into your work!

This issue is here to help you keep track of work as you start Open Life Science program. Please refer to the OLS-2 Syllabus for more detailed weekly notes and assignments past week 4.

Vision statement

We will work with other scientists in generating scientific solutions to daily life problems related to Food and Nutrition for the general public in Madrid area. We aim to help citizens feel connected with Science in a way they can find it useful and let them acquire a more scientific mentality. We are working open because transparency is key to make the public engage with Science and scientists and viceversa.

Up-Goer Five text editor

This is the first input: upGoer

After trying to simplify it: upGoer_after Still a few not-allowed words but I think I cannot avoid them

This is the simplified vision statement We will work with other scientists to fix common food problems for people in the Madrid area. We want to help them with their problems with food and to understand better the world based on facts to make it better. We are working open because we think this will make the people work better with scientists and we will get better and faster solutions to their food problems.

1st try with the original VS version

hemingway_visionstatement

2nd try using the upgoer5 version

hemingway_visionstatement_upgoer

3rd version: about the upgoer5 version, it is clear that it still lacks clarity, so I decided to rewrite the VS again.

hemingway_visionstatement_v2

FINAL VERSION (AS OF 02/10/2020)

We will work with other scientists to fix common food problems for people in Madrid. We will provide tools to connect people with scientists, where citizens will expose their issues with food and nutrition. Scientists will create specific open projects and will work in collaboration to help solve these problems. We are working open because we think transparency is the key to connect Science with society.

Your project sounds really interesting and I can't wait to hear more about how you are going to engage the public with science. Can I suggest that you break up your first sentence into two shorter sentences as I think it will read better. Something like - 'We will work with other scientists in generating scientific solutions to daily life problems for the general public in the Madrid area. This will help them to feel connected with Science in a useful way and let them acquire a more scientific mentality.'

Hi @tlaguna, I'm excited to see how this turns out! A few notes about the vision statement:

I agree with EKaroune, the first sentence is a bit long.
'scientific solutions to daily life problems' seems vague to me. What's the scope of the problems you'll be working on? i.e., are you working to solve problems at the level of individuals, neighbourhoods, or the entire city? or is your goal to set up a general framework that can connect a the public with scientists who work on their particular problem? Whatever your focus is, it sounds exciting :)

Thank you @EKaroune for your comments, indeed the first sentence was too long!

Hi @koudyk! After some counseling (mentors and other contacts) we decided to narrow the scope of "daily life problems" to problems focused in the Food & Nutrition area, where my collaborator and me develop our research.

Glad that sounds exciting for you! Keep posted ;-)

Focusing on your research area sounds like a great way to start! Nutrition would be a great topic to engage the public. It seems like many people are concerned about eating well, but so many people fall for diet fads that aren't backed up by science. Looking forward to seeing this project evolve :)

BTW, it looks like the link to your Open Canvas doesn't go where you want it to. It works when I copy & paste it, but not when I click it.
