NWFSC Monster Seminar Jam: Amanda Tan

Amanda Tan, Ph.D. (University of Washington) is presenting a talk, "Building pathways for open and reproducible research in earth science." The talk will be moderated by Eric Ward (Northwest Fisheries Science Center).

Abstract

Computational and data science skills have become essential in accelerating the scientific discovery process in Earth Sciences. There exists a need within the community to transition from currently siloed approaches into more collaborative and inclusive practices that better enable transformative science. This talk will explore several avenues that the eScience Institute at the University of Washington has utilized to expedite the adoption of data science methodologies and computational tools for data-intensive research. I will expand on the hackweek model, lessons learned from successfully facilitating virtual meetings and workshops as well as various pathways to encourage the adoption of open and reproducible science within the Earth Science community.
