Speaker: Dr. Paige Martin, NASA

NASA’s Transform to Open Science (TOPS) mission aims to accelerate the adoption of open science via community engagement. A 5-year project, TOPS is kicking off with a Year of Open Science this year, focusing on developing an introductory open science curriculum and promoting open science across numerous scientific conferences within the US. Alongside community engagement, NASA is actively working on the policy, funding, and infrastructure to support and enable open and inclusive science through the Open Source Science Initiative. In addition to an overview of NASA/TOPS activities, this talk will cover two primary topics: Open science communities: I will showcase some of the NASA efforts on engaging and broadening the open science community. Open science infrastructure: I will discuss ongoing NASA plans regarding data and compute resources, including the migration of many datasets to the cloud
