Shout-out for Beth Ashmore

Beth Ashmore

I've learned so much from Beth, but the thing that stands out to me now as one of the best things about Beth is her strong emotional intelligence and positivity. She handles so many different things well and manages others' expectations better than most people I know. An example: just recently, she volunteered to help create a presentation about our Dryad data repository membership. Not only did she proactively do the intellectual labor of framing out the slides, but she also made it really easy and compelling to want to volunteer to co-present with her to share the findings from our first year as Dryad members. It was one of the best collaborations on a presentation I've had the opportunity to do in a while and I'm honored to have worked with Beth on this and many other facets of our work.
