call for data analysts &
code reviewers
ManyBabies projects offer many opportunities for data analysis contributions. We welcome contributions to data analysis at all levels, from basic code review/error checking to leadership on analysis teams. Expertise in the specific project topic is not required to contribute to data analysis. Working on one of the analysis teams is a great opportunity to become familiar with these large datasets that also provide opportunities for secondary data-anaysis and many-analysts type projects.
Please get in touch if you'd like to contribute to active analysis efforts!

speaking of code review...
... check out this great opportunity initiated by Lisa DeBruine to be involved in creating a "Beginners' Guide to Code Review" (which would be a great resource for ManyBabies!). All levels are welcome!

Report project contributions
If you are contributing to an active MB project, we ask that you fill out your project’s CRediT Form to report your contributions as soon as possible. You will be able to update your contribution report throughout the course of the project, and so responses should reflect actual contributions so far and/or plans to collect data (but not other planned contributions). Contact us with any questions.
