Road to Open Science (R2OS)

In the 4th and last part of the OS4P mini-series, Erik van Sebille shares his experience with academic activism and proposes some practical advice on finding the right balance between preserving trust in science and taking a stance on socially-urgent issues based on scientific findings.

How do we know if Open Science practices can make science more reproducible? In the part 3 of this mini-series, we talk with Inge Stegeman nuero-otologist and associate professor at UMC Utrecht about her research plan to check on the claims of the open science advocates using empirical data and randomized controlled trials.

Part 3 of the four episode series produced for the course Open Science for Physicists (OS4P). We discuss with our guest, Dr. Inge Stegeman, who is a neuro-otologist at the University Medical Center Utrecht, about the advantages and pitfalls of open science practices, and how to investigate if these practices have the positive effects that are claimed by their advocates.

Part 2 of the four episode series produced for the course Open Science for Physicists (OS4P). We discuss with our guest, Dr. Niels Marten, who is a philosopher of science at the Freudenthal institute, about the governance and credit structure in big scientific collaborations, and what should students know before joining such a project.

Part 1 of the four episode series produced for the course Open Science for Physicists (OS4P).In this first episode of the mini series, cohosts Erik van Sebille and Sanli Faez will share their motivation for designing and teaching this course, and talk in some more about the concept of The Credibility Cycle, introduced by Bruno Latour and Steve Woolgar, and the five open science schools of thought.

Introducing a 4-episode mini-series recorded for the master course "Open Science for Physicists".

This series is hosted by Sanli Faez and Erik van Sebille.

The first episode will be published on 12th of September 2024, on which is the starting date of the course.

Caspar and Sicco talk academic careers and what motivates you to stay in academics with Alexandra Vennekens from the Rathenau Institute. Is #LeavingAcademia really happening and what do academics actually value in their own work? And does the university think about that the same way?
