    <h1>Mission Statement</h1>
    <p>Our goal is to bring the principles of open science to scientific computing at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. We believe that scientific progress increasingly relies on collaborative efforts and benefits greatly from a more open approach to research, including open data, code sharing, and open access publications.</p>
    <p>We seek to achieve these objectives by:
    <ul>
    	<li>organizing workshops and seminars</li>
	    <li>connecting SIO and UCSD personnel with the broader scientific community</li>
	    <li>encouraging peer-to-peer teaching</li>
	    <li>maintaining a centralized online hub of resources</li>
    </ul>
    </p>
