We are looking for individuals to join our committees! This is a great way to contribute to the overarching goals of ManyBabies and network with MB colleagues via a minimal time commitment
(~2 hours/month).

Teaching Training, & Open Science

Meets monthly to develop teaching and training materials for ManyBabies and the broader developmental science community. Recent efforts include the ManyBabies Workshop Series, as well the production of the “What is ManyBabies?” intro video.

Diversity & Outreach

Meets monthly to consider ways to promote respectful inclusion, diversity, and outreach in ManyBabies projects. Recent efforts have focused on creating guidelines for inclusive zoom meetings and developing a survey that will enable developmental scientists from around the world to learn about one another’s research.

Additional committees

Ethics; Statistics, Analysis, & Code Review
