MB @ CDS Meet-up!

Settle Down Tavern

Friday, April 22 @ 6pm CDT

If you're going to be in Madison for CDS, join us for a real-life MB meet-up! We don’t have a budget for much of anything (sorry!) so you’ll be on your own for drinks/food, but we’re excited to see people! Plans are subject to change, so make sure to join the #CDS2022 channel in the MB Slack so we can communicate during the conference.

announcements

<-- You’ve probably seen this icon next to some author names on journal articles. This is an ORCiD link! An ORCiD is basically a DOI for a researcher that will stick with you through affiliation and name changes. As part of our mission to promote Open Science practices, we strongly recommend that all MB contributors obtain an ORCiD. The sign-up process is fast and easy! If you have any questions/concerns, please email us and we'll be happy to help.

MB sign-up form (new!)

We have a new easy sign-up form on our website. Pass this link along to anyone who might be interested in getting involved with MB for the first time (or fill it out yourself if you're interested in contributing in a new way!).
