Today, the keynote at #CZIOpenSci was Maryam Zaringhalam of the National Library of Medicine. We loved her talk and she made very good points about #equity and #accessibility in #open #science. We also believe that engagement and open dialogue are core pillars of a thriving open science. At #OpenRefine , we tackle #reproducibility in #data cleaning but we also strive to create a #community of engaged users! You can be part of it by visiting our forum https://forum.openrefine.org/

Did you know that one of the ways we can provide you with this amazing #OpenSource #Software is by receiving funding from organizations like #CZI ? Yes, we rely on community contributions but we have a number of core staff members and interns that also have bills to pay! We're so thankful to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative for their financial support over the years and we're in #Boston to cheer on the next generation of grantees. #CZIOpenSci
