The Science Basement Podcast5.3 ReproducibiliTea: Grassroots Action for Open Science w/ Vootele, Anastasiia, & SujaiThe last decade has been called the decade of the reproducibility crisis—but this isn’t just a temporary flare-up. It’s a chronic, structural issue that cuts across disciplines and impacts the very foundation of how we produce and trust scientific knowledge. In this episode, we speak with members of the ReproducibiliTea Journal Club, a grassroots movement that empowers early-career researchers to tackle problems in reproducibility head-on by building local communities focused on open, transparent science.
Together, we explore how flawed incentives, poor data practices, and a culture of publishing over precision have led to a growing erosion of trust...

V rozhovoru se bavíme nejen o zisku jeho přezdívky "Krápník", ale třeba také o tom, že nikdy neobhájil svou diplomku z biochemie a šel cestou teoretické chemie.

ReproducibiliTea PodcastEpisode 32 - Crisis Research With Anne ScheelEpisode 32 - Research under Crisis with Anne Scheel
We have a very special guest in this lockdown episode of ReproducibiliTea: Anne Scheel (@annemscheel). We reflect on research during the COVID-19 pandemic and the wide range of responses from the research community.
We talked to Anne about her recent blogpost “Crisis research, fast and slow” (http://www.the100.ci/2020/03/26/crisis-research-fast-and-slow/) - her first in two years! A lot of research is being rushed to testing and to (pre)print; Anne worries that some of this goes against our collective efforts to promote ‘slow’ science.
