Hi Chelle, nice initiative, where can people submit their stories? |

You can submit them here! If you aren't comfortable with that, please email them to me: chelle.gentemann@nasa.gov. Thank you! |

Thanks for opening up this call! I especially like that, instead of simply science being open sourced, it's about things that's not possible without open science. I'll share it among my networks. One of my favorite citizen science examples is Public Lab. It is a completely grassroots network of citizen scientists who developed and built:
In addition to doing open science and sharing open data, the Public Lab aerial mapping kits are fully open source, and years later was adapted by community organisers in the Bourj Al Shamali refugee camp in Lebanon to create the first ever map of their camp. In my view, this is a great example of not just citizen science, but also doing open science (environmental monitoring) that enabled downstream applications (aerial mapping and GIS on the other side of the world) not foreseen by the original researchers, not to mention that the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill started right around Earth Day! That said, I'm not sure if this falls within the remit of what you're looking for. For example, neither Public Lab nor the Bourj Al Shamali refugee camp received any funding or other support from NASA (as far as I know). So I'll leave it at that for now unless people want to know more. |

I think we are looking for all stories --- we will probably end up highlighting the NASA ones first, but it is really wonderful to have other stories that we can share with other agencies and organizations for them to highlight! Thank you! |

how do we share results with you?

At TOPS <https://nasa.github.io/Transform-to-Open-Science/>, we are
dedicated to promoting and advancing open science, especially in relation
to climate change. To demonstrate the impact of open science, we are
seeking compelling scientific discoveries or advances that:
would not be possible without open science (data, software, tools, or
sharing results)
are compelling to a broad, diverse, public audience
An example of what we are looking for is here
<https://climate.nasa.gov/news/3201/climate-patterns-thousands-of-miles-away-affect-us-bird-migration/>
and here
<https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/publicsector/the-birds-in-the-cloud-how-the-university-of-oklahoma-uses-nexrad-data-to-study-birds/>.
“The more scientists and other stakeholders know about climate change’s
effects on bird migration, the better they can prepare to protect these
birds and the habitats on which they rely.” We like this story because it
is about how open science enabled a new scientific discovery. Also it is
about helping birds (always a popular topic – you would not believe how
many birders there are out there) – and helping land conservationists
respond to climate change – and would NOT have been possible without the
data being made fully accessible for the first time by being put on AWS and
using open science approaches (R libraries).
We want to showcase more open science based scientific discovery success
stories for Earth Day. Do you have any examples? We are also interested in
stories that highlight the contributions of citizen scientists (using NASA
data or funding). Science results that you share with us by March 24th have
the best chance of being a part of Earth Day. We appreciate your help in
advancing open science, and look forward to hearing about your success
stories.

Here's a story: Reproducible code demonstrating the evolution of a recent data viz of CONUS snow cover: Origin and development of a Snowflake Map, https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/year-of-open-science/reproducible-code-demonstrating-evolution-a-recent-data-viz, |

These are some open science/ open access research programs and repositories from Africa and one from India. Not necessarily use cases for Earth Day showcase but hopefully can add to the conversation. African Digital Research Repositories https://africarxiv.pubpub.org/pub/143o7pm8/release/4?readingCollection=dc2b67ea Registry of Open Access Repository National Open Access Policy of India (v. 2017)

Hello. We have one we can share from EPA about the creation of the Supply Chain GHG Emission Factors which are used widely by organizations and now the Federal government for reporting their supply chain GHG emissions (aka Scope 3 GHGs). They are derived from public data using an open ecosystem of tools that live on USEPA github space.... please reply if this is an appropriate story for archiving in TOPS and if you would like me to write that up here or somewhere else. Thanks for leading the TOPS effort and thanks @a-w-beck for letting me know about it |

@cgentemann I wish to share an article for an Open Source Science and Technology Project that is scheduled for launch August 1, 2023 with NASA, ISSNL. This unique payload will be an experiment affixed to the exterior of the International Space Station (MISSE) for a period of 6 months. The NG-19 marks 10 years of service to NASA and the ISS. The NG-19 Cygnus CRS is scheduled aboard the Antares rocket from the NASA Wallops MARS pad 0A. The NG-19 Cygnus is named the S.S. Laurel Clark n remembrance and celebration of life for Dr. Clark, NASA Astronaut of the STS-107. She was a accomplished undersea medical officer and naval flight surgeon. I am one of the Team Members with The STORIES of Space Project and would like to share an article pertaining to Open Science and Technology sharing this unique experiment with NASA, ISSNL with Open Science Success Stories. www.storiesofspace.com |

This video from the 3rd Jack Eddy Symposium describes how open science (here involving the integration of open source tools, open data, and a collaborative environment) accelerates discovery and transforms the kinds of questions a scientist might ask. |

Thank you all for your inspiring stories. I am the communications lead for TOPS and would love to continue gathering success stories. While this call for Earth Day is now closed, we have a google form repository where we are collecting story submissions. Please submit here. Stories may be used in upcoming TOPS Blog posts and featured in the newsletter! (Please note that right now, most of our content is related to the pending rollout of the TOPS OS101 curriculum, but we are gathering stories to begin sharing soon) Thank you! |
