Why is Indigenous health research so crucial, especially for adolescents? What are the systemic challenges researchers face, and how can we push for openness, transparency, and equity in health research? In this conversation, hosts Queen Saikia and Sarah Sauvé speak with leading experts from New Zealand - Prof. Sue Crengle (University of Otago), Prof. Terryann Clarke (University of Auckland), and Dr. Andrew Sise (University of Otago) - to explore the current landscape of Indigenous health research and the methodologies used in these investigations. They also discuss key issues around reproducibility, openness, and transparency, the discrepancies in research systems, and how we can drive meaningful change. This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about health equity, open research, and improving research culture. Listen now and join the conversation in the comments!

Episode 33 with Flavio Azevedo on FORRT Our latest awesome ECR you need to watch out for is Flavio Azevedo @Flavio_Azevedo_. He was recently named one of one of the top 100 global shapers from Portugal! (https://www.100oportunidades.pt/) and by gosh he's just one of our favorite people too. Flavio tells us all about the importance of openness in reproducibility in teaching. He is leading an amazing project: a Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training, or FORRT. The project advocates for integrating open and reproducible research practices into not only methods training, but subject material too. FORRT will be doing this with a dedicated platform collating teaching materials and the pedagogues to teach them. Listen in to hear what else FORRT has to offer, and how you can get involved!

Episode 32 - Research under Crisis with Anne Scheel We have a very special guest in this lockdown episode of ReproducibiliTea: Anne Scheel (@annemscheel). We reflect on research during the COVID-19 pandemic and the wide range of responses from the research community. We talked to Anne about her recent blogpost “Crisis research, fast and slow” (http://www.the100.ci/2020/03/26/crisis-research-fast-and-slow/) - her first in two years! A lot of research is being rushed to testing and to (pre)print; Anne worries that some of this goes against our collective efforts to promote ‘slow’ science. Anne masterfully flips the interview on Amy and Sam to give a teaser about their upcoming studies, and how they are trying to avoid the potential pitfalls of fast research during crisis mode. Listen through the end for some stellar ECR advice from our latest Awesome ECR Useful links: Anne’s Blogpost: Crisis research, fast and slow http://www.the100.ci/2020/03/26/crisis-research-fast-and-slow/ The 100% CI blog http://www.the100.ci/ Emergency Kittens @EmrgencyKittens Anne’s zotero library of COVID-19-related psychology preprints https://www.zotero.org/groups/2472136/covid-19_psych_papers Anne was also a guest on one of our very favourite episodes of the Everything Hertz podcast https://everythinghertz.com/47 Music credit: Kevin MacLeod - Funkeriffic freepd.com/misc.php
Episode 31: Class 2 - What even is a replication? It’s week 2 of Amy’s “Psychology as a Robust Science” course and we are discussing replications. What are they?

SolidariTEA 2 - Green Advocacy With Sander van Bree SolidariTEA is our mini series where we stand in solidarity against the worse side of academia, and stand in solidarity alongside the many awesome advocates for improving academia. This time Sophia talks with Sander van Bree (@sandervanbree) about green advocacy. What actions can you take to reduce your negative impact on the environment; and what can academia do collectively? If you're still not sure on all things green advocacy after listening, hit him up on the twitters! Sander is doubly awesome because he made Sam's life super easy by sharing these useful resources: - Sander's Cusanus presentation (https://tinyurl.com/whatseffective) - A study that plots out the emissions of individual actions (link goes to best figure https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aa7541/meta#erlaa7541s3). - Here's Cool Effect, which looks to be the best offsetting organization (https://www.cooleffect.org/). - Here's his Twitter, if people want to read/listen to more of his work (https://twitter.com/sandervanbree) This graph maps out how much CO2 different foods and the different steps in the supply chain cost (https://ourworldindata.org/uploads/2020/02/Environmental-impact-of-food-by-life-cycle-stage.png) Music credit: River Meditation - Jason Shaw freepd.com/misc.php
Episode 30 – What are we doing? AKA the golden pancake We are starting a new 8 part series following the structure of Amy’s “Psychology as a Robust Science” course (https://www.amyorben.com/docs/syllabus.pdf). We will take a specific aspect from each week and dive into the detail. This week: Introductions and Merton’s norms, what is Science? We discuss each of Mertons norms in turn; communalism, universalism, disinterestedness, and organised scepticism. Useful resources: Merton, Robert K. ‘The Normative Structure of Science’, 1942. https://www.panarchy.org/merton/science.html. this YouTube video for explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00btFojQPiU&list=PLAKyhL4GNnqMVIdZDvSt3bqlHFJVRNOsF&index=2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00btFojQPiU https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/053901847601500406
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!

Episode 28 - Jade Pickering and Marta Topor This time we are joined by the amazing Jade Pickering (@Jade_Pickering) and Marta Topor (@MartaTopor). Jade and Marta share their own ReproducibiliTea experiences and an exciting new project on building tools for systematic reviews. Watch this space as the duo get ready to release this tool to the wilds! Keep an eye out for the most positive and wholesome answers to our usual guest question "what advice do you have for other ECRs?" Music credit: Be Jammin - Alexander Nakarada freepd.com/world.php
In the first of our new SolidariTea sub-series, Amy Orben talks to Robert Stenson from the University of Nottingham, UK, where he is finishing a PhD at the School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies. SolidariTea episodes are short podcast conversations with Early Career Researchers around the world that highlight injustices, campaigns, struggles and discussions mainly about working conditions, diversity and equality, employment, and work-life balance. Robert Stenson tells us about how his university has outsourced all grad student teachers to a temporary staffing company and how this has affected their working conditions and ability to strike (see his tweet here: https://twitter.com/robert_stenson/status/1199260126319910912). The episode highlights how increasing amounts of universities are outsourcing workers (see https://unitemps.com) and how this precariousness affects grad students and early-career scientists. The practice implemented by the University of Nottingham sets a dangerous precedent for outsourcing teaching by the most junior and vulnerable workers, who are often crucial to delivering the courses departments offer to their students. Have you, or someone you know, been affected by precariousness, outsourcing or temporary contracts? Please get in touch with us! We are planning to highlight more ECR stories in future SolidariTea episodes. Music credit: River Meditation - Jason Shaw https://freepd.com/misc.php
Episode 27 - More advice on starting a PhD We return to thinking about starting a PhD. This is part 2 of our series. Sophia brought Amy and Sam some more questions and they had thoughts. If you have any thoughts, comments, and different perspectives we would love to hear them. Please reach out and tell us your thoughts and experiences. Question 4 - How much time did you spend on different PhD activities? e.g. writing papers, learning skills, reading, etc. AKA. work-work balance Question 5 - How did you manage your supervisor and build a support team? Question 6 - What was the hardest part of your PhD? Amy's blogpost: https://medium.com/@OrbenAmy/why-leaving-oxford-for-a-summer-was-the-best-decision-of-my-phd-33da4616f4af Music credit: Kevin MacLeod - Funkeriffic freepd.com/misc.php
Episode 26 - Advice on starting a PhD In a slight change of pace, Sophia interviews Amy and Sam for advice on starting a PhD. This is part 1 of a two part series on advice for new PhDs. If you have any thoughts or comments, hit up our twitter and join the conversation. Caveat: Amy and Sam both completed their PhDs in Experimental Psychology at Oxford University. We did try to make any advice or comments as widely relevant as possible, however we should recognise the limits of our experience. We would love to hear from you, whether your institution/department would be very different, whether you agree or disagree with our comments, and if you have anything to add we’d love to comment! Highlights Question 1 – If you could give yourself some advice at the start of yo9ur PhD, what would you say? Sams PsyPAG (@PsyPAG) blogpost: http://www.psypag.co.uk/what-advice-would-you-give-to-yourself-at-the-beginning-of-your-postgraduate-studies/ Related: check our Anne Scheel’s (@annemscheel) episode on Everything Hertz (@hertzpodcast) https://everythinghertz.com/47 Question 2 – What should you do at the start of your PhD? Question 3 – how do you, and have you been successful at, developing a good work/life balance? A part of this question we faced is, how do you define work?
