Notes
Ideas to address the low activity on My-Plant
iPlant hire a curator of the site to write short articles, encourage activity, etc. Possibly a part-time student for the role.
Promoting my-plant as a way to achieve Broader Impacts for our NSF grants
Discussed how my-plant might interface with iDigBio and NSF's ADBC program
Pam mentioned Michael Nielsen, his "open science" push, and how our current academic culture doesn't know how to credit contributions to things like my-plant, blogs, etc. See michaelnielsen.org.
