November 2019 Community Call
Date: Wednesday 20th November 2019 at 2pm EST
Topic: An introduction to the four types of communities that we see in science – with presentations from existing scientific community managers representing different community types.
Abstract: In our work with scientific communities to date, we’ve identified different types of scientific communities – and different ways that they describe the community engagement role within their communities. This had led to a working model of four broad scientific community types that we’re eager to test and iterate!
Join us for a brief description of the four community types followed by lightning talk presentations from existing scientific community managers about how they think about their own communities (and how they might be different from the model).
Speakers
Ann Meyer – Advisor, Sector Innovation and Programs at Ontario Genomics
Stephanie O’Donnell – Community Manager at WildLabs.net
Serah Njambi Rono – Community Engagement Lead at The Carpentries
Camille Santistevan – Associate Director for Communications and Marketing at the Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC) at the Graduate Center for CUNY.
