Dear Sheri,
I just tried out what Justin suggested and it works.
Greetings from Berlin

Hello friends,
This is a rather mundane list question but I'm wondering if anyone can
tell me how I can get the OST prefix to return to the subject lines in
the emails that come to this list? It used to be there and I could
organize them in my overflowing inbox easily. Now they are not easily
trackable. Is there a way to turn that back on? I thought it was
something the list admin did and not something the individual does. Is
there a list admin on this list or someone who knows?
Would be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks to everyone on this list for everything you do,
gratitude

Hi
Last night I was speaking with a good friend - a soil scientist – who
is attending and presenting at a 4 day international conference with
1,800 others in his field. This conference only happens once every 4
years! He reported the presentations range in quality; while some were
brilliant and interesting, some were not up to scratch for such a
salubrious event. No workshops to speak of and ‘working groups’ are
exclusive. His experience of trying to connect with relevant
colleagues has been ‘needle in a hay-stack’ stuff, frustrating and
stressful. He’s wondering if it was worth it. We discussed the wasted
opportunity of so many specialists getting together with so little
time to actually confer (why call them conferences?).
One of the conundrums is that funded attendance can be contingent on
‘presenting a paper’, especially for academics for whom it is a
measure of performance. I’d like to hear from anyone who has
experience with overcoming this barrier while preserving the ‘trial by
peers’ opportunity. Even so, it sounds like a proportion of the papers
could be trimmed to preserve the quality, and space opened to enable a
fuller exposition, exchange and greater shared learning. No news to
this list of course, just re-iterates what we know – sigh.
So thanks for your pertinent and timely experiences. I’ve forwarded
this thread to my friend to inform his evaluation. You never know, it
might find its way to the organisers.
best wishes, Robyn

Oh everyone, this has been such a delight! I will not be demure or
reserved. I just simply have to say how much I love and appreciate
this community. Each morsel of advice I will treasure and re-read
knowing that "whatever happens happens" which I really already knew
but to be reminded of it here and to hear about your experiences,
tips, tools and insights, well what a gift. Thank you not just for me
but most especially for this group of scientists and others who I hope
will soon meet in Open Space to engage and connect on their passion
and what brought them to science in the first place: to create,
discover and make a difference!
And yes Andrew (and everyone else), yes indeed it all helps! Suzanne

Hi Suzanne,
With scientists being such creative people, I’ve found that they
really get into Open Space...
Here’s one article I’ve written describing more about one experience...
http://www.babelfishgroup.com/files/Measuring%20a%20successful%20meeting.pdf
And... In terms of hurdles and client/sponsor trepidation... Here’s a
little tool that was topped off with a great discussion with Viv
McWaters...
It provides an entry point into some different conversations...

Hope this helps!
Warm regards,

Subject: [OSLIST] Scientists in Open Space
Hi everyone!
Over the past few months I have been working with a Sponsor connected
with international scientists. She is passionate about inviting people
to have new conversations around how we “do” science; how science is
funded; the future of science and education; and the emerging trends
leading into the next era of science. The goal is to experientially
engage a highly diverse group of participants (scientists, policy
makers and change agents) in ways that invite self-organization,
collaboration and shared leadership – as opposed to how people
interact in your typical conference. Nationally and internationally,
science faces many urgent challenges not unlike the system breakdowns
that we see in so many areas. Certainly there is a sense that the
basic ingredients for an Open Space are there not the least of which
real issues of concerns, high levels of complexity, diverse groups,
great urgency. That said, the Sponsor feels a certain degree of
trepidation about how independent-minded, self-directed scientists
might respond to Open Space. Not a new question for any of us I know.
It would be helpful if you could share any experiences you’ve had
working with Scientists, globally or nationally.
Which sectors? Themes? Context? Hurdles? How did it go overall?
Any and all insights appreciated. Will send you buckets of smiles and
sunshine from Florida in return.
Suzanne
