ReproducibiliTea Podcast

In this episode, Will is joined by Lianne Wolsink, PhD candidate at Ruhr University Bochum and current steering committee member of ReproducibiliTea. Will and Lianne discuss the ReproducibiliTea reading lists, created to help journal clubs do deep dives on metascience topics. Lianne created reading lists on replication and science communication; Will created an introductory reading list on Open Science, preregistration, and theory in psychology. Reading lists: https://rpt-rl.netlify.app Books mentioned: Science Fictions by Stuart J Ritchie Against Method by Paul Feyerabend Nobody's Fool by Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris

In this episode, Sarah and Will chat to Josh de Leeuw from Vassar College and the creator of jsPsych. We chat about the history of jsPsych, the unseen process behind creating open-access scientific software, and the current challenges facing software developers in the open scholarship movement. jsPsych is a javaScript framework for creating online experiments, and is always looking for people to contribute to the codebase: https://jspsych.org.

Why is Indigenous health research so crucial, especially for adolescents? What are the systemic challenges researchers face, and how can we push for openness, transparency, and equity in health research? In this conversation, hosts Queen Saikia and Sarah Sauvé speak with leading experts from New Zealand - Prof. Sue Crengle (University of Otago), Prof. Terryann Clarke (University of Auckland), and Dr. Andrew Sise (University of Otago) - to explore the current landscape of Indigenous health research and the methodologies used in these investigations. They also discuss key issues around reproducibility, openness, and transparency, the discrepancies in research systems, and how we can drive meaningful change. This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about health equity, open research, and improving research culture. Listen now and join the conversation in the comments!
