My favorite takeaway from Openscapes is the emphasis on the open science mindset and culture. It is not only about the coding or the projects outcomes, but about a shift in the way we approach science to be more collaborative and inclusive.

Lots of favorite takeaways from Openscapes! Here's a few:

• NMFS R and Open Science resources
• Additional functions of GitHub (Projects, discussions, etc) for collaboration and project management
• Automating workflows from data to reports (using Quarto, for example)
• Overall getting to know the open science mindset and community ("Let's do better science, in less time, together")

My favorite take away is learning not to reinvent the wheel. Collaborating and sharing methods has been eye-opening for many of us. We don't need to live in silos! yay

I loved that with every class we had (and this also spilled over into the quarto class), that I learned at least one new tip or trick to improve my workflow from someone I had never met before. Not only were the instructors sharing information, but everyone in the classes felt comfortable sharing ways we could improve the way we do science. :)

I liked learning more about the open science mindset and also about the different open communities out there (there are a lot!). I thought the brief intro to Github was also helpful, with a lot of practice and help from our seaside chats. I thought the efficiency tips of the day were fun and useful.
