• Make sure you know when and how you'll be meeting with your mentor.

Before Week 2: Cohort Call (Welcome to Open Life Science!)

• Attend call or catch up via YouTube

• Create an issue on the OLS-4 GitHub repository for your OLS work and share the link to your mentor.

Vision Statement

I am working with collaborators from my university in developing an open platform for the humanities and social science (HSS) and computational social science (CSS) researchers at the university at various stages of their academic career, where the community can interact with each other through questions and answers on discussions pertaining to open data usage, which would actively shape their future work in ethical and responsible data usage while also promote interdisciplinary and open research across various fields.

Very nice project! I work in an "open data infrastructure" for CSS (in the Netherlands) so I'd love to follow your developments!
