Was hat dich motiviert, Mentor*in im Fellow-Programm Freies Wissen zu werden?
Having been a Fellow in the program myself, I found the community which the fellows, mentors and project staff create a great boost in continuously renewing our efforts to advance open science. I greatly value being able to continue being part of this community and hope to be able to support in in growing!
Was bedeutet für dich Offene Wissenschaft und wie spiegelt sich das in deiner täglichen Arbeit wieder?
I use and support open science in my daily research practices, in teaching and in editorial and reviewing work. I preregister hypotheses and analyses of projects I am involved in, aim to make my materials, code and data openly available and encourage students whose thesis I supervise to consider doing this, too. I am also happy to serve as an editor at Collabra: Psychology, an open access journal that aims to advance open science and publishing robust research.
