bio: |
    Vicky Hellon is the Community Manager at the Alan Turing Institute for the Turing-Roche Partnership. She will be working closely with both organisations to build an engaged and sustainable community around the partnership, with a focus on supporting researchers to embrace and embed Open Science practices. She has a BSc in Biomedical Science from the University of Sheffield and previously had roles in Open Access publishing. She is passionate about supporting forward-thinking changes to the academic publishing system and engaging with researchers from a range of backgrounds.
highlights: |
    This was a great introduction to the Turing Way and the community. I loved seeing how collaborative everyone was and also the scale of what everyone managed to produce during the dash! I feel proud that I managed to do my first proper pull request to make a tangible contribution and navigated myself around Github to review others' work too.
more: |
    I will be carrying on working on the Open Access chapter and hope to collaborate with others such as \@EKaroune \@Karvovskaya to potentially expand a 'publishing' chapter/section

    If you want to do 'community' then you can't get a better example than the Turing Way
