#OpenScience people do you have favoured alternative to #slack for lab internal communication and information sharing? Or is that the wrong question and email works fine?

never really adopted slack. Used it a bit for
@SoftwareSaved fellows network, so it's not like I didn't see the fun/utility. Depends how 'digital' ones lab is (e.g. does PI like it) and even then, whether slack is just too much of a distraction in the end(?)2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -
I enjoy the synchronous communication with small teams afforded by Slack, but get frustrated 1) that you can't easily create public channels (e.g. support channels) and 2) that when you have multiple slacks, they don't stack easily. Gitter solves both these things.

Yeah, gitter is how I found @logantpowell from US census who helped me with getting and understanding the data for http://redistrict.science !
