\"Screenshot\nEvery day a child is born with an inherited metabolic disorder, and many do not grow old.\nMetaKids is a Dutch foundation that collects money and raises awareness and the charity selected\nthis year for the NPO (Dutch national radio/tv) 3FM\nSerious Request. This has become a Dutch tradition.\nSerious Request will play music on the radio, when people contributed to the fundraiser, and the more money, the\nmore often the music gets played.

\n\n

But besides this, Serious Request also encourages people to jump into action. And we have jumped into action.

\n\n

What we will do

\n\n

In the week when the DJs are locked up in their\nglass house in\nZwolle just before christmas, Dr Laura Steinbusch,\nMartina Kutmon, Daan van Beek,\nand I will work on making our open science WikiPathways knowledgebase even better to support\nresearch into these disorders. Like we did for COVID-9/SARS-CoV-2 before (see doi:10.1038/s41597-020-0477-8).\nGuided by experts, we will update existing maps (leveraging on the awesome work\nby Denise Slenter in her PhD) with recent literature, supported by\ncomputer-assisted data curation, and draw new maps where there\nare knowledge gaps.

\n\n

Read our full statements here: https://www.npo3fm.nl/kominactie/acties/wikipathways-in-actie-voor-metakids

\n\n

Part of this will be a workshop day on Thursday 19th of December in Maastricht. Details about that will follow.

\n\n

In this way, we collect not only money to donate, but we also donate research.

\n\n

How to donate

\n\n

Well, obviously, it is a fund-raiser. So, please donate here.\nWe have at least one donation with PayPal (not a fan) from outside The Netherlands.

\n\n

We are currently at 405 euro of our 2500 euro goal. Please help us a bit closer to that goal.

\n\n

How can you help

\n\n

You can help us enormously by spreading the news of the “kom in actie” in your social network, and raise awareness\nfor the cause of MetaKids. For example, by sharing our action:

\n\n\n\n

Second, in good open science practice, we welcome you to join our “kom in actie”, and several other have\nalread indicated wanting to do so. There is plenty of work that can be done, and we are documenting\nour activity on a project board. Any work that will make\nthe FAIR and open knowledge better or show the power will help. To get some ideas of how the knowledge can be used\nis written up in this open access chapter by\nDenise, Tina, and me.
