Missed the panel?
Don't worry, the conversation doesn't stop here! 👀

We're planning to summarize the main takeaways from the panel and share them here soon 📢

#OpenScience #Neuroskyence

What an engaging discussion at our IGOR panel "Have we solved the replication crisis?"🔎

Special thanks to @deevybee.bsky.social @brittawestner.bsky.social A. Hildebrandt & S. Jeung for their insights about the current state and future of Open Science, and to the moderator @gordonfeld.bsky.social

We're less than two days away from our IGOR panel discussion "Have we solved the replication crisis?" - yes, the title’s provocative on purpose! 📣

📅 Friday, 10 Oct | 10:00–11:00 CET

Contact us in DM to attend!

Thanks for the interest @mhagenauer.bsky.social and @bxjaeger.bsky.social! We’re planning to record the panel discussion, but it’s yet to be decided how the recording will be distributed. Once we know, we’ll announce it here on Bluesky

@deevybee.bsky.social @brittawestner.bsky.social @gordonfeld.bsky.social @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social

♻️ From preregistration to data sharing, Open Science has changed the field. But have we truly addressed core issues of the replication crisis or just shifted them?

🤝 Let’s discuss what’s working, what were unintended consequences, and what’s still missing for the future of robust science.

🎤 Speakers:
– Dorothy Bishop (Uni of Oxford)
– Andrea Hildebrandt (Uni of Oldenburg)
– Britta Westner (Donders Institute)
– Sein Jeung (TU Berlin)

🗣️ Moderator: Gordon Feld (ZI Mannheim)

I’m on my way to Freising to attend the conference on experimental endocrinology where I got invited to present #NODES

This is a genuine reminder to participate in the second Delphi survey if you investigate hormones survey.questionstar.com/Share/QR/840...

We will close the survey this week.

Feeling *gitty* about this fall with two exciting workshops on Version Control with Git for Scientists coming up @mpib-berlin.bsky.social and @rtg2660.bsky.social @uni-wuerzburg.de! ✨

Another fantastic gift dropped this weekend, from the DGPs Interest Group Open and Reproducible Science (@igor-dgps.bsky.social) for my 2-year work as coordinator together with @gordonfeld.bsky.social 😭💙

Thanks so much to everyone who made this time memorable (& to everyone who signed this bag!)

My laptop with an open article, next to it stands a cup of chai that was gifted to me at a conference. The sticker reads: I like my science open and reproducible

Today, the words seem to flow rather slow, but the count still went up by 400 words.

Chai supply is luckily sustained by my wonderful @nirx-nirs.bsky.social cup with a stellar #IGORinthewild sticker 🧠

Excited to share that ARIADNE won a @improvingpsych.org Commendation Award 2025! ✨

Congrats to all the IGOR members that contributed to this project 👏

Open science contributes to more rigorous and impactful science. However, little attention is often paid to the benefits that it provides to its users, such as project management and programming skills. Although not its primary objective, these skills may be considered additional benefits supporting the transition to open science practices. Drawing from international perspectives, this chapter will discuss skills that students develop explicitly or implicitly by engaging in open science and their benefits to careers within and outside of academia. It will also showcase examples of how engagement in open science is considered in (academic) hiring decisions, including ongoing debates and areas for (structural) improvement. Ultimately, this chapter will inform educators about the most important open science skills and provide insights into how to strategically build a resume to present open science-related skills convincingly to improve employability, including practical tips and resources.

#OpenScience principles help students gain lots of useful skills that are an advantage on the job market in and beyond academia. Read our latest book chapter where we provide tips for educators to bolster employability through open science: doi.org/10.31219/osf...

IGOR made it to SIPS thanks to @ufangyang.bsky.social! We love to see our tote bags around the world in support of open and reproducible science 🌍

PS: one of our projects, ARIADNE, just recently won the SIPS Commendation @improvingpsych.org 👏
