Environmental Impact of Research
Research, whether direct or indirect, aims to advance knowledge and change the world for the better. But whether you are spike-sorting with high-performance computers, getting through 100 single-use plastic pipette tips in a day or receiving regular shipments of metal-rich equipment, your research is having a long-term and detrimental impact on the environment. This session will explore how life sciences research contributes to the climate crisis and negatively impacts local and global environments. Practical advice will be given on ways to reduce the footprint of your own research.
Panel discussion: Practical advice for reproducibility in neuroscience
This virtual, interactive panel on reproducibility in neuroscience will focus on practical advice that researchers at all career stages could implement to improve the reproducibility of their work, from power analyses and pre-registering reports to selecting statistical tests and data sharing. The event will comprise introductions of our speakers and how they came to be advocates for reproducibility in science, followed by a 25-minute discussion on reproducibility, including practical advice for researchers on how to improve their data collection, analysis, and reporting, and then 25 minutes of audience Q&A. In total, the event will last one hour and 15 minutes. Afterwards, some of the speakers will join us for an informal chat and Q&A reserved only for students/postdocs.
