Abstract

To address our climate emergency, “we must rapidly, radically reshape society”—Johnson & Wilkinson, All We Can Save. In science, reshaping requires formidable technical (cloud, coding, reproducibility) and cultural shifts (mindsets, hybrid collaboration, inclusion). We are a group of cross-government and academic scientists that are exploring better ways of working and not being too entrenched in our bureaucracies to do better science, support colleagues, and change the culture at our organizations. We share much-needed success stories and action for what we can all do to reshape science as part of the Open Science movement and 2023 Year of Open Science.

Thank you to Brianna Lind, Mahsa Jami, and Aaron Friesz (USGS) for their insightful contributions to this work and manuscript. We are influenced by the behaviors of open science leaders, mentors, and coaches who inspire us to be braver and role model the change we want to see, too. And, as it does for us, this gives permission and agency for folks to do the same. We learn from so many, including our organizational colleagues, Mozilla Open Leaders, Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP), The Carpentries, RLadies, rOpenSci, Pangeo, and our many mentors and coaches, including Tara Robertson and Allison Horst.
