This resource was created at the University of Maryland (UMD) with a commitment to using open science to conduct and disseminate research on Grand Challenges of our time (https://www.ugst.umd.edu/Grand%20challenges/).
We teach open science and value the contributions of the community. We hope others will find this resource useful as well. All research presented in this book has an Open Science Foundation project which allows public access to the research pre-registration, materials, data, analysis code, and poster.
If you have any feedback, questions or other resources, we welcome your thoughts to collaboratively build better material and a more open science! To leave feedback you may contact Dr. Tracy Tomlinson at ttomlin1@umd.edu or Dr. Amanda Chicoli at achicoli@umd.edu.
