Are you an early-career researcher (or someone hoping to help ECRs) working in #openscience or #metascience? The @reproducibilitea.org podcast is looking for guests for our next season of episodes! We'd love to feature ECR voices foremost – the next generation of scientists should be heard the most!

New interview on the value of exploratory research.

"My brief explanation of this crisis is that researchers didn't say ‘I found something interesting’, but ‘I found exactly what my fantastic theory had predicted, heureka’.
And then they gave a TED talk."

The crucial value of exploratory research » Eiko Fried

Exploratory research is vital for discovery, but often undervalued. Here I argue it is key to scientific progress & needs defending.

Creating Accessible Research for the #DevLangDis Community

A lot of research goes to waste 🗑️ This is partly because researchers rarely share results with the non-scientific community. Even when findings are shared, people with communication disorders find it hard to understand the research.
