Using the Opportunities board — what I actually found there

Hadn't paid much attention to the Opportunities board until a friend mentioned finding something useful there, and want to share my own experience since I think it's a somewhat underused part of the product relative to the more heavily-discussed evidence tools. What I found there: real, current opportunities relevant to building evidence — competitions, calls for judges or reviewers, publication calls — organized in a way that made it easy to filter to what was actually relevant to my field and timeline, rather than a generic, unfiltered list. I ended up finding and applying to a legitimate journal review opportunity through it that I don't think I'd have come across through my normal channels. Worth checking periodically if you haven't — it's not going to hand you evidence, but it surfaces real, actionable opportunities to go build some, which is a genuinely different and useful thing from the more evidence-organization-focused tools.
