These were my personal key messages as a STEM Education person, concerned with supporting faculty development. I thank everyone who provided feedback on the #EDSIN2019 hashtag.

While we organized some inspirational speakers, #EDSIN2019 was run as an unconference, where the community drove the direction for conversation. This was our counterpublic space for STEM Education in Data Science.

QUBES partnerships led me to help lead the @EDSINetwork - an @NSF funded INCLUDES conference, organized by @NEON_sci and with @esa_org and @thecarpentries. @NSFINCLUDESHub #EDSIN2019

on our experiences, and resources for others.
In particular I'd like to highlight that the referenced Twitter Backchannel for the EDSIN Conference, #EDSIN2019 @EDSINetwork was/is managed by the students in my @batesdcs Digital Community Organizing course at @BatesCollege. 2/2
Thank you to @MeganAHJones for giving me this symbol of recognition for my work for the @NEON_sci hosted @EdsiNetwork #edsin2019 conference organized by her and @alycrall @qubeshub
...for undergraduate/graduate teaching modules and accompanied by a science communication/data visualization/art piece. I thought @Data4BlackLives group on Climate justice might be interested? Contact us if you are interested in developing the 1 pager #data4blacklives #edsin2019
Mentions collaborations and conversations with @NEON_sci @alycrall @EdsiNetwork co-organizing team. #EDSIN2019 Speakers @marcohatch @cfinney4 @aohasley @jamesrattlingL @KStackWhitney @ginahelfrich @jumprecruits
An OEC is an open education community. This is a sneak peak at a new collaboration between @EdsiNetwork and @qubeshub to support moving forward together. How does this question read in terms of letting you set your own identity in this space? #EDSIN2019
Sneak peek.... a question on the application: "We would like to make sure that our first EDSIN-QUBES Open Education Fellows are as diverse as those we hope to serve. How would you contribute to the diversity of an EDSIN-QUBES OEC?" Feedback? @EdsiNetwork #EDSIN2019
Hey #EDSIN2019 #EDSIN19 and @EdsiNetwork - If a newly graduating/ed student wants to learn some programming (R or python), where is the best place to send them? I suggested @RLadiesGlobal for this student as a resource and R as a result. But as far as tutorials, etc? Favs?
My students wrote reflections on the #EDSIN2019 experience. "My favorite talk was the one by Dr. Andrew Hasley. I admired him so much because of how well he spoke on the subject and the in-depth suggestions he gave to make the world more accessible for everyone." @aohasley
I'm sitting down, inspired by @EdsiNetwork and #EDSIN2019 to change a talk I am giving this week. Trying to distill it to some of the key aspects. What do you think team? @qubeshub @JasonWilliamsNY @KStackWhitney @srsupp @MelKWatkinson @MirianTsuchiya etc...
Was waiting for my shuttle to the airport. *sniff, sniff* - #EDSIN2019 it's been good y'all. Also hanging basket chairs.
#EDSIN2019 folks may also be interested in convos from #EiM2 Ethics in Mathematics Conference
#EDSIN2019 conference dinner somehow covers integrals, @PicardTips , and motherhood. <3 #EDSINfam
Why is #EDSIN2019 so important? One answer - the opportunity to tell critical stories that haven't been heard, that are invisible, that need to be heard.
Still challenged and inspired to do better everyday. Thanks #EDSIN2019 community!
Can we harness tipping points to grow DEI change in #STEMEd and our communities. We need to work against system dynamics intentionally until we can get that tipping point. It's hard work. #EDSIN2019
Asset mapping - don't deficit model, start with asset mapping to determine what strengths you are starting with so that students, faculty, program stakeholders, program leaders, can build a positive and productive trajectory to their goals. #EDSIN2019 Adrienne Smith
Data sensation instead of data vsualization. - @aohasley #datascience #dataviz #InclusiveDesign #EDSIN2019
Great question about "boundary crossing" from inclusion as necessary for excellence to those that work in STEM fields who are tied up in a narrative about metrics of merit. #EDSIN2019
Everyone has something sacred to them and it is considered their story...as part of that is a natural human desire to be understood, and if they can't have that, then to be heard -Melvin Hall #EDSIN2019
Let's transition to inclusion as a necessary condition to excellence - Melvin Hall #EDSIN2019
Our notion of excellence are so tied up with merit. We have to redefine our definitions of excellence "in every aspect of the mission, operation, and strategy." - Melvin Hall #EDSIN2019
Melvin Hall reminds us that intersectionality is extremely important to consider... consider the #GenderPayGap - it is different when you look at women of color versus women generally... we are much further behind. #EDSIN2019
"Inclusion should redefine excellence. You cannot have excellence without inclusion in science." [slightly paraphrased] from Melvin Hall #EDSIN2019
#EDSIN2019 Melissa Watkinson talks about Salish Sea DEI Community of Practice - "Washington Sea Grant is now a place that they can bring their whole selves to" <3
#EDSIN2019 @srsupp shares why students pursue #DataScience in her program. Near gender parity in Freshman majors, likely because of the pairing with student interests and not because of interest in computer science or coding. Language matters and intro classes have no prereqs.
#EDSIN2019 Lightning round begins with @thecarpentries talking about a more #inclusive #datascience training. @tracykteal @SherAaronHurt
#EDSIN2019 "Often times the work of boundary spanners is not acknowledged." says @marcohatch - reminds me of many conversations that I've had also with @LouWoodley
