Hi!
First of all, thank you for creating such a wonderful course, it was a pleasure to improve my open science skills.
I´d like to make a suggestion for module 5: open results. In my opinion, this module could benefit from either a new lesson, or an extension of the 'From theory to practice' lesson by including concrete advice for designing scientific posters.
In the last couple of years, the better poster movement has changed the design of many posters across scientific disciplines, leading to more exchange of ideas. Having a concrete lesson on the principles of UX-oriented poster design would not only be useful but also very interactive.
I would be happy to contribute. Since Mike Morrison, the creator of the original 'better poster' design, has given a NASA TOPS workshop about this topic in the past, he might want to contribute, as well.
Additional extensions of module 5 could focus on improving scientific writing (e.g. use of active verbs, less jargon, sentence structure), but this is a less concrete suggestion than including poster design advice.
