 *The blog shares a quick overview of my lecture. It focuses on the official citation for my award written by NASA Openscapes Mentors Aaron Friesz (now at ESIP), Amy Steiker, Luis Lopez, plus Allison Horst, and my official response. I will give the lecture again online in early 2026 – we will share details when we know – and we will update this post with a recording.*

+-   My 2 cents to Julia’s question re: cool tools / ideas to share — I’ve found the idea of dependency management via project-level lock files and “virtual environments” is really powerful, even if you’re working by yourself on just one computer. The tooling for this has gotten dramatically better in the last few years. In python, there’s uv . In R, there’s renv . For cross-platform conda-based stuff, there’s pixi . Beyond that, there are tools like Nix, mise, etc. that do similar things.

+-   Forking enables a science gift economy… “That is the fundamental nature of gifts: they move, and their value increases with their passage. The fields made a gift of berries to us and we made a gift of them to our father. The more something is shared, the greater its value becomes. This is hard to grasp for societies steeped in notions of private property, where others are, by definition, excluded from sharing” ([Kimmerer](https://www.robinwallkimmerer.com/books) 2013).
