Episode 29 - Four Hero Origin Stories To Start 2020

Welcome to 2020. We are back to our regular recording and releasing schedule. Sorry for the wait, and thank you for your patience.

We begin with Sophia and Sam's starts to the year at the Advanced Methods for Reproducible Science workshop, aka #Repro20. All three of us have attended this workshop over the last 3 years. Last year Amy returned to talk about her year after #Repro18, and Sam returned to do the same about lessons from #Repro19.

The workshop schedule is here: https://osf.io/cdrfk/
And, slides from the talks and workshops are in the repository:
Check them out for some awesome materials.

The workshop had 30 future leaders, aka heroes, of open and reproducible research - all coming together to learn, share experiences, and discuss how to build a bright future of research.

Shout out to two projects:
1. Open Research Calendar (@OpenResearchCal)- Collecting #openresearch events in one place! (Alexandra Lautarescu, @AleLautaresc; Bradley Kennedy, @bradpsych; Cassandra Gould van Praag ,@cassgvp; Esther Plomp ,@PhDToothFAIRy)
2. Open CV - a project to help ECRs incorporate open and reproducible research practices into their CVs (Loukia Tzavella ,@LTzavella; Sam Parsons, @sam_d_parsons; Alexander Kirchner-Häusler, @KirchnerHausler; Jiv Ramduny, @JRamduny)

In addition to the awesome people leading these projects, our special feature in this episode is four quick fire interviews with four of the heroes we met at the workshop - here's their origin stories:
1. Dr Robby Thibault (@rt_thibault)
2. Ms Kelly Lloyd (@KellyElizaLloyd)
3. Mr Jiv Ramduny (@JRamduny)
4. Dr Pamela Jacobsen (@pamelacjacobsen)

Have no doubt, we will be hearing from these, and more, of the awesome people from the workshop. Tune in to the pod for more!
