TL;DR
Middle management is hard. Caring is required, but the kind of care you provide matters.
Malvika Sharan: Open science is "not only about consuming knowledge" but also about *sharing your knowledge* and ultimately *building a community*.

Thank you, Dr. Malvika Sharan, for your powerful #SciPy2025 keynote 💛
You reminded us that the most powerful "intelligence" is community. Cultivating diverse, engaged people is essential for ethical, sustainable tech and a responsible scientific future. 🚀
This is such a powerful and important piece for all people in science. Thank you for the reminder Batool.
🔥 Meet our Keynote Speakers for #SciPy2025!

Really enjoyed the opening panel this morning, thank you to all the panellists for their insights!
Big news!
Today we announce that 23 research organisations in the NLs have received a grant from @opensciencenl.bsky.social to include #openscience criteria in their hiring and promotion policies.
www.openscience.nl/en/news/know...
Really proud to have worked with the #OpenScience NL team to spread the joy of infrastructure roles like community managers, data stewards and research engineers improving open science skills for 23 teams in the Netherlands. What an inspiring national effort to improve open & FAIR practices. 🎉🎄
Extra post to say, The Turing Way receives support from the Turing that funds a few staff & events, but 1000+ community members are volunteers & affiliated to different orgs: book.the-turing-way.org/afterword/co...
The @turingway.bsky.social belongs to the community, & is always a work in progress.
Thank you Anne Lee Steele, our Research Community Manager, for formalising WGs in @turingway.bsky.social as well as facilitating nominations - hidden work in recognising others hidden work.
