Promoting Open Science

ReproducibiliTea
I serve on the organizing committee for the ReproducibiliTea open science journal club at the University of Chicago. We hold weekly meetings with invited speakers, discussion of journal articles, practical tutorials on how to use tools like GitHub, and offer guides on keeping science open at each step in the research process (e.g., how to write a good pre-registration).

Teaching Open Science
I believe that no one is too junior to start learning about the reason why we need open, reproducible science. Therefore, I always ensure to include related topics in my courses. Here are just some examples:

• Research in Memory - Use of the open-source OpenSesame experiment builder (and discussion of why open-source is important)
• Research in Memory - Review of the infamous ‘dead salmon’ fMRI study
• Physiological Psychology - Critical discussion of how frontal lobotomies were able to persist for so long unchallenged
