Open and Reproducible Science Workshop

Open and Reproducible Science Workshop

Reproducibility of research results across repeated studies is a defining feature of science. However, in the last few years scientists across several fields including (but not limited to) psychology, cancer biology, biochemical science, preclinical research, ecology, and evolution have been facing difficulty reproducing well-known results in their respective fields. This disconcerting trend has resulted in widespread discussions of how to make science more reproducible and transparent. Our workshop will include talks by external and internal speakers providing different perspectives on scientific reproducibility, and will include hands on training by the Center for Open Science on many simple actions researchers can take to increase the reproducibility of their work.
