Sam Teplitzky (she/her) is the Open Science Librarian, and library liaison to the Earth & Planetary Sciences and Astronomy Departments at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. She works on open science, data, reproducibility, transparency in research workflows, and inclusive community building in STEM. Sam is also the Executive Editor for Open Science of Seismica, a diamond OA journal in Seismology, and a co-convener of the Bay Area Open Science Group, a virtual community of academics and researchers interested in incorporating open science into their research, teaching, and learning.

Wasila Dahdul is the Data Curation Librarian in the department of Data, Publishing, and Digital Scholarship at the University of California, Irvine, where she is also the interim library liaison to the School of Engineering. She helps faculty, staff, and students with research data management and sharing, with an emphasis on advancing transparency, reproducibility, and collaboration in research. She holds a PhD in evolutionary biology from the University of Pennsylvania, and has expertise in bio-ontologies for the formal representation of biological knowledge to enable data integration and analysis across domains in biology.

Meghan’s work at Princeton consists of three overlapping roles: Open Research and Scholarship Librarian, Head of Princeton Research Data Service, and subject librarian to the behavioral sciences, including liaison responsibilities to the Department of Psychology and the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. Through these roles, Meghan helps researchers, scholars, faculty, principal investigators, and research labs organize, manage, store, preserve, and share research information and research data produced throughout the research lifecycle across all disciplines. She conducts research on open, transparent, and reproducible science, systematic review methodology, researcher workflows, and data stewardship, and advocates for new forms of science librarianship, and equity in librarianship and STEM.

Melanie Gainey (she/her) is Director of the Open Science & Data Collaborations Program and a STEM Librarian at Carnegie Mellon University. Melanie co-created the Open Science & Data Collaborations Program at Carnegie Mellon University Libraries in 2018. In her current role as Director, she continues to create and support open science initiatives and supervises the Open Science Postdoctoral Associate. She also supports the research, teaching, and learning of students and faculty in the Biological Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, and Computational Biology departments at CMU, as well as the Neuroscience Institute. Prior to joining CMU Libraries in 2017, Melanie did her postdoctoral training in the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute at U.C. Berkeley and earned a PhD in Neuroscience from Brandeis University.

Kristen Scotti is a STEM Librarian at Carnegie Mellon University Libraries, supporting the Departments of Mathematics, Physics, and Statistics & Data Science. She completed her postdoctoral training at CMU Libraries, where she integrated AI literacy into coding and machine learning workshops and conducted research on open science practices and machine learning-assisted evidence synthesis. Kristen holds a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Northwestern University, where she led interdisciplinary research on microgravity materials processing. Her work bridges computational research, educational outreach, and public engagement, with a focus on accessibility, equity, and the responsible use of emerging technologies in science and scholarship.
