π I'm currently working on improving FAIR practices in the phytolith research community with ICOPS.
- ICOPS is involved in the training and communication of open science tools (GitHub) for phytolith researchers.
- We are trying to develop ontologies dedicated to the study of phytoliths.
- I am using a participant-observation approach to learn about the raw materials, techniques, technology, and purposes of basket making.
- I aim to learn how practitioners assess the properties or qualities of the materials they use, and how the materials are related to end products and uses.
- how to use open science tools
- how to make baskets from plant-based raw materials and plastics,
- how to create compost and bokashi compost from trash!
