Our lab is growing! In our Three Questions series, we’re profiling each of our members and the amazing work they’re doing. Today’s post features Natascha Chtena, a postdoctoral fellow and research coordinator for the Value of Openness, Inclusion, Communication, and Engagement for Science in a Post-Pandemic World (VOICES) project at the ScholCommLab.
Authors: Maaike Duine (ORCiD) and Franziska Harnisch (ORCiD) In March 2022, the 9th international Open Science conference of the Leibniz Research Alliance took place.
