Are you in New York City? There’s an Open Science meetup next week.
Last week’s webinar about getting tenure with open science, with Titus Brown, is now viewable on YouTube.
The US Government has released datasets to help study the health impacts of climate change.
Erin McKiernan has collected examples of collaborations resulting from open science.
In a blog post on the BioMed Central Blog, Sarah Hayes gives her opinion on the state of peer review training for early career researchers. If you haven’t seen it yet, we do have a page to help first-time peer reviewers, with tips from F1000Research Advisory Board Members and a selection of open peer review reports. It’s free for anyone to use in educating about peer review.

Finally, people on Twitter are currently sharing why they work according to open science principles. The hashtag #IAmAnOpenScientistBecause (seemingly inspired by #IAmAScientistBecause which was trending last week) has some interesting stories. A selection is below:
