Entomology postdoctoral research associate Christie Bahlai is one of four individuals selected to receive the first Mozilla Fellowship for Science. The fellows represent a change in the process of scientific research, championing openness, collaboration and mentorship. More than 130 researchers applied for the 10-month paid fellowships that will engage local communities to advance open data and open source software, and teach colleagues skills to do the same.

Mozilla will support Bahlai to continue her MSU research, which is supported by the Long Term Ecological Research Network, Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center and Project GREEEN, up to 20 percent time while acting as an embedded change agent for open science at MSU. She is developing an MSU graduate course on open science data and publication practices as part of her activities.
