ABRIR team led by the amazing @alelazic.bsky.social developed workshop plan that aims to strenghten DEI in #OpenScience- by reversing who gets to teach and who learns. We’re getting ready to pilot it! Special thanks to @orca-open.bsky.social for financial support.

PCI Webinar Series - Peer Community In The PCI webinar series is a series of seminars on research practices, publication practices, evaluation, scientific integrity, meta-research, organised by Peer Community In

📣 Save the date for the 13th PCI webinar on December 1st, 2025, at 4 PM CET!! Simine Vazire (University of Melbourne, Australia) will present "Recognizing and responding to a replication crisis: Lessons from Psychology". For more details and registration, visit: buff.ly/wZNoD2v

Square poster. The main text reads: “Our first ABRIR workshop plan is here! With ORCA’s support, we’re piloting a new way to strengthen DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) in open science — by reversing who gets to teach and who learns. To make open science truly global and equitable, we need to learn from the strengths of Majority World researchers.” Smaller text reads: “Developed with support from the Open Research Community Accelerator (ORCA) and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (Award Number: #20160-2025-10).” The poster also includes the ABRIR logo and a QR code leading to https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17244026

Who gets to teach about #OpenScience, and who learns? With our new workshop plan, we want to flip the script.

Grateful to co-lead the creation of the plan (V1 👀) with @nscorralfrias.bsky.social & our amazing @abrir.bsky.social team

A large-scale study across the avian clade identifies ecological drivers of neophobia Neophobia (the aversive response to novelty) varies considerably across species and individuals, and can impact adaptability and survival. This study assesses neophobia in 1400 subjects from 136 bird ...

The first empirical paper from @themanybirds.bsky.social is out in @PLOSBiology! 🎉 doi.org/10.1371/jour...
Thanks to our amazing collaborators, we tested neophobia in 130+ species across 25 taxonomic orders!🕊️🦜🐓🦚🦉🦆🐦🐧🦅

Home - Many Birds Projects A Big-Team Open Science approach to avian cognition and behaviour research.

The #ManyBirds Project shows how big team open science approaches can uncover hidden patterns in animal behaviour and evolution, complementing critical in-depth single-lab work.
Huge thanks to everyone involved across six continents 🌍💛 More info & how to join future studies: 👉 www.themanybirds.com

So excited that our first major empirical @themanybirds.bsky.social paper is now out in @plosbiology.org!
Leading this big team science project, with our excellent core leadership team, is a labour of love for me, delighted to see our hard work over the past 4 years has reached this milestone!

Now Live: The Refreshed OSF Interface The Open Science Framework (OSF) now features a redesigned interface that makes managing research projects easier, faster, and more intuitive. Download our one-page quick guide.

📰 ICYMI: the refreshed OSF interface is live!

The redesign makes it easier to navigate projects, find key features, and manage research across every stage.

Really enjoyed this year's BTSCON! I wasn't able to attend as much as I wanted to but luckily lots was recorded so I should be able to catch up :) highlights for me 👇

a group of older women are dancing in a living room . one of the women is wearing a pink sweater . Alt: The Golden Girls (Dorothy, Blanche, Sophia, and Rose) come together for a group hug.

As we wrap up this year's conference, we want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of our 2025 BTSCON presenters and attendees. What a fantastic community of collaborative science enthusiasts! We can't wait to gather with you all again next year!

Modern research is increasingly collaborative and global, yet project management tools often lack effectiveness. STAPLE is an open-source platform that enhances research workflows. This webinar will cover project creation, task assignment, and contribution tracking. Register: cos-io.zoom.us/webin...
