I had the honor of participating in Tampa Bay Estuary Program's #OpenScience meeting yesterday and learned about the wonderful work they do there. Learn more about TBEP: tbep.org Open Science subcommittee: tbep.org/about-tbep/b...

RDM Weekly Issue 24 is out! - Philosophical Issues in Open Qualitative Research @oercommons.bsky.social - Existence of Stealth Corrections in Scientific Literature - Why Open Science is Just Good Science in a Digital Era @heidiseibold.bsky.social and more! rdmweekly.substack.com/p/rdm-weekly...

To know more about what Open Science truly entails, here's an interview with our co-executive director, Heidi Seibold. "Why open science is ‘just good science in a digital era" buff.ly/bScU7VA

Day1 In a quiet winter forest, a small Open Science Bird decides to build the best nest ever. Not just any nest but one built openly, so every creature can learn from it. “If research is a nest,” she chirps, “then I am building mine so everyone benefits.”

To know more about feedbacks and assessments, check out this workshop 'Giving Negative Feedback Effectively' buff.ly/zl8qLk0

Day 2 She sketches her nest design and pins it to a tree trunk like a public notice board. “Maybe someone can help me improve this,” she says. A squirrel adds a clever tweak; a hedgehog suggests reinforcing the base. The blueprint becomes better with every pawprint.

Day 3 A sudden gust of wind snatches her blueprint, well almost! Luckily, she has all her versions tucked safely in her pinecone-based version control system. She smirks, “Ha! Try blowing away v1.1, forest.” Check out collaborative Git without GitHub: buff.ly/KkJXbcY

Final Call! OSR applications close 30 November! If you’ve been planning to apply, this is the moment. Join an international community of researchers & open science practitioners for a week of focus, creativity, collaboration, and connection in Machynlleth. Apply: buff.ly/6z1PhfU

At TUM Audimax lecture hall this evening for rehearsal for my TEDx talk on November 8th. Hopefully my colourful notes will help me remember what I want to say.

In this post, guest author Maxi shares her experience in reusing data and machine learning models. It's frustrating, because people don't share or don't even respond to a clearly "reasonable request". digiresacademy.kit.com/posts/data-s...

Oh the irony...

Big goals need powerful voices and ours just hit TEDx! 🎤 Heidi Seibold, co-founder of Digital Research Academy, takes the stage at TEDxTUM 2025 to talk Open & Reproducible Science. How do we rebuild trust, openness & collaboration in research? Find out Nov 8! #OpenScience y #TEDx #ResearchCulture

This one! 💯 "...scientific articles are written by experts for experts, and I found many of them almost indecipherable as they try to condense those books into a dense half page of gibberish" - Emilio Dorigatti on Open Science Stories, @heidiseibold.bsky.social
