“Being angry doesn’t change the world. Creating the path to a better one does.”
In her recent TEDx talk, Dr. Heidi Seibold explored what it means to build a better research culture through Open Science--moving from gatekeeping to transparency and from pressure to possibility.

The feedback from many of the participants was that it was one of the most inclusive events they've been to and without the additional money we could not have done it.

@emilynordmann.bsky.social , Gaby Mahrholz, and I have been working on an article about types of assessment to develop open and reproducible science. Turns out being in the beautiful Swiss alps is inspiring! 🇨🇭
This group at the Open Science Retreat is giving concrete examples on how to integrate Open Science practices in assessment of students.
Easy mini-steps that can be incorporated easily, like instead of a regular student paper, have them write a registered report ✅
