Maroussia Bednarkiewicz

I am a historian, linguist and digital enthusiast who meanders between the Humanities and the edges of Computer Sciences.

I am Brazilian, doing a Ph.D. student in Neuroscience (Neurocampus - Université de Bordeaux) and working in parallel as a Research Assistant for a research team in Amsterdam (MULTINET - Vrije Universiteit Medical Center). Both my Ph.D. and RA work is directly linked with Open Science. In my Ph.D., I am developing and using open-source research software, while in my RA job, I am responsible for revising and sharing all our programming scripts (on GitHub). In addition, I lead an OS working group at the VUmc to make our department more in line with OS practices/values, and, in Bordeaux, I host a ReproducibiliTea journal club! Other than programming, neuroscience, and OS, I also really like cats, cooking, and traveling!

Jens Dierkes

I am an astrophysicist turned into a research supporter at a university library. I am curious, interested in the sociotechnical complexities of e-research. I am helping to build bridges between disciplines in terms of data strategies. Currently, I have a focus on personal health data in NFDI4Health and particular on the community and networking aspects. Transparency and FAIR data infrastructure are key elements. Also there is a strong uptake of open science topics locally at the university that I think are very interesting to engage with.

Shreya Dimri

I am a PhD Student with broad interest in the field of behavioural ecology and evolution. My current research is focused on conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses to better understand individual variation in behavioural traits within and between different species. Additionally, I am also highly interested in meta-science projects, particularly in the reproducibility in ecology and evolution. As a passionate advocate of open science and a continous learner, I believe science is a cumulative and collaborative process that requires participation and responsibility of all involved.

Meag Doherty

I am currently working at the intersection of scientific computing, user experience, and health equity. My day job is to build user experience capacity at the All of Us Research Program at the National Institutes of Health in the U.S. I come to open science by way of mentoring on Mozilla Open Leaders Training, Open Life Sciences, and a fellowship with the Software Sustainability Institute. I also have some experience in open-source policymaking and program development.

As a trained experimental psychologist and budding statistician, I focus on reproducibility in the data collection, analysis and archival pipeline.

Rachel Heyard

I am a meta-science postdoc at the Center for Reproducible Science at Uni Zurich. I am training PhD Students and other Postdocs in Good Research Practices. My research is centered around measuring replication success, but I am also interested in improving research evaluation and changing incentives. Before starting my postdoc I was a statistician at the Swiss National Science Foundation where I got involved in many meta-science projects.

Melanie Imming

As an independent consultant from the Netherlands with a strong international network, I help leading cultural and academic organisations develop their strategy in the area of Open Science and Digital Cultural Heritage.

Joyce Kao

Currently, I am a Senior Project Manager at the Innovation Center for Digital Medicine at the University Hospital RWTH Aachen (Germany) where I manage projects ranging from clinical app development to digitalization education. Previously, I was a Co-founder of the Open Innovation in Life Sciences Association, a non-profit entirely operated by early career researchers promoting the practice of open science in Switzerland. I like to help people work more efficiently and creating sustainable communities using digital tools & technologies.

Harini Lakshminarayanan
