I have been involved in the Open Science movement for many years. I am currently involved in activities for the 2023 Year of Open Science in my role as lead of
NMFS Open Science, co-lead of the Inter-agency R User Group (federal agencies) and
NMFS Openscapes. Since 2020, I have helped Openscapes lead Open Science team trainings at NOAA Fisheries across all our science centers and involving 300+ staff. Since 2018, I have also been involved in teaching data science in India with the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) and International Training Centre for Operational Oceanography (ITCOocean). In September 2023, I will be teaching a
course and hackweek at ITCOocean on using ocean remote-sensing data for fisheries management and research in the Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal.
