Great to see so many of our Institutional Leads and Local Network Leads together in Cardiff yesterday. Lots of discussion, ideas, plans and bright Welsh sunshine.

Huge thanks to Cardiff School of Journalism, Media and Culture for hosting us.

Had fun meeting our new Statistical Data Science MSc students today. Really excited about this programme which is a collaboration between Computer Science, Mathematics & Statistics and the Humanities. Looking forward to seeing what they can do! #SDS #UniversityOfExeter

Floella Benjamin introducing Rik Mayall is very funny, and very touching, and his five mantras for a full life sound pretty anarchistic to me…

Code-sharing policies are associated with increased reproducibility potential of ecological findings

In 2020, we showed that studies published in ecological journals WITH a code-sharing policy showed a 21% reproducibility potential at max (Culina et al 2020, @plosbiology.bsky.social)

We've now investigated journals WITHOUT a code-sharing policy. The results are worrying.

In the later stages of getting to do a dream: a fully replicable manuscript.

Every single number, stat, figure, etc. in the manuscript has a complete, open and pushbutton full pipeline all the way from data collection to seeing the number on the page.
