Dejan Draschkow

"I applied to the Ambassadors programme to learn about WIN’s open science activity, provide a bridge to the work happening in the Department of Experimental Psychology and help disseminate best practice. The most valuable component so far has been staying in touch with Cass and staying up-to-date on the work that is being done."

Yingshi Feng

"I applied to the Ambassadors programme to learn more about strategies for making scientific research more replicable, rigorous, and accessible. I have gained skills in using data sharing tools and an awareness of the broad beneficial impact open science practices have on individual researchers, research groups, collaborators, and the general public."

Verena Sarrazin

Verena is a DPhil student in the Psychiatry Department. See her profile here.

"I applied to the Ambassador programme because I wanted to meet other people who are interested in open science, discuss challenges and future directions, and help make implementation of open science as easy as possible for researchers. I found it very useful to learn to use git because it is so transferrable, and it was interesting to shift from “consumer” to “contributor” in developing documentation. I now feel more confident starting conversations about open science and suggesting that others to publish all of their research outputs."

Bernd Taschler

Bernd is a postdoc in WIN's Analysis Group. See his profile here.

"I wanted to take part in the Ambassadors programme to make a direct contribution to changing the way we do and incentivise research. Working on a larger project as a team has been valuable to help practice my communication and collaborative development skills. I’m now more convinced than ever that open science practices will be fundamental for how we can improve our current research culture.”
