In this blog post, Read reflects on 10 years building the data science program at USGS, focused o team building and hiring, turning constraints into strengths and support, and walks through several points with a format of "justifications, considerations, example". Throughout, he uses a great water-gardener metaphor and beautiful illustrations.

Notes from Julie: + +> It's specifically about setting more deliberate meetings with your team so you're not overwhelmed by so many one-off communications, and really getting to the root of why that feels so out of control for you, and about how to make true change in yourself outside of that New Year's resolution model that feels so crushing and shameful when you can't meet those this. This provides a different model that is much more profound and provides incremental change. This is about identifying the true cause of things and setting up small experiments for yourself that are actionable so you can test them and get feedback on what's working and not so you can feel more agency and control in your day-to-day life. And in that help others too. I see so much benefit of this in my work and in my family. I want others to hear this too and think about how it can empower them as well. + -Our [Openscapes GitHub Organization](https://github.com/openscapes) has pinned repositories of interest, including the [teaching-learning-resources](https://github.com/openscapes/teaching-learning-resources) repo where we use [Issues](https://www.openscapes.org/champions/[teaching-learning-resources](https://github.com/openscapes/teaching-learning-resources/issues)) to jot down specific tools or learning resources for open, reproducible, inclusive science. -We also have a public [Openscapes Zotero library](https://www.zotero.org/groups/4118402/openscapes/library) linking publications, talks, and curricula.

Thomas Kuhn, who wrote the seminal book about the great paradigm shifts of science,7 has a lot to say about that. In a nutshell, you keep pointing at the anomalies and failures in the old paradigm, you keep coming yourself, and loudly and with assurance from the new one, you insert people with the new paradigm in places of public visibility and power. You don’t waste time with reactionaries; rather you work with active change agents and with the vast middle ground of people who are open-minded. + + +### Organizational architecture + +[Cautionary Tales Podcast Ep 6 -- How Britain Invented, Then Ignored, Blitzkrieg](http://timharford.com/2019/12/cautionary-tales-ep-6-how-britain-invented-then-ignored-blitzkrieg/). + +This tale is about how the organizational architecture of existing entities - whether the British army, Sony, Kodak, or Xerox - cannot always support their own innovation because of the social structures they were built upon.
