Open Science

Open Science desribes a set of practices that seek to make research more open, transparent, and reproducible. I have been involved with the open science community for the last eight years, including as an ambassador for the Center for Open Science (since 2015), a catalyst for the Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in Social Sciences (BITSS since 2018) and have served on the EdArXiv Preprint steering committee (since 2020).

I have conducted workshops on talks about open science practices and adoption, most of which can be found here https://osf.io/bh98u/.

Recently, Aaron Haim (a PhD student at WPI) and I have begun to examine Open Science practices within the fields of education and learning science, and have been a series of workshops and trainings (see HowToOpenScience.com)
