How to make reproducible research and open science training the norm in Universities? The article elifesciences.org/articles/89736 offers actionable steps. At LMU Munich, we have already started to implement each of these 11 strategies. A thread🧵:

Starnberg 8:00 19.12.2024 when waiting for the next sbahn because the ersatz bus was too full and late to make the first sbahn and that the train in between was too full to take any passagers … public transport around Munich is the worst it’s been - but what a place to be waiting !

As we @lmu-osc.bsky.social build a train-the-trainer programme for open science with @forrt.bsky.social, I’m wondering about this… should we try to change LMU Munich‘s culture in depth by engaging many locals or make material usable for educators around the world to seed changes? Can we do both?

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. 📰 doi.org/10.32942/X21...

This is so spot on. As a climate scientist and public intellectual, I see or experience these often
