Very inspiring to see the brilliant Early Career Researchers like @kseniia-m.bsky.social getting engaged in open science
I am very grateful for Open and Credible Science course implemented at Høgskolen i Østfold. New horizons are open as well as new ways of creating science @tkalan.bsky.social 💜 thank you 😊

Can’t agree more @kseniia-m.bsky.social
My favorite thing about being in academia is a constant development. You meet new amazing people, challenge your previous approaches to research with new perspectives, set new goals and enrich your research practices, while staying true to your values and yourself. That is why it is a true dream job

Are you an early-career researcher (or someone hoping to help ECRs) working in #openscience or #metascience? The @reproducibilitea.org podcast is looking for guests for our next season of episodes! We'd love to feature ECR voices foremost – the next generation of scientists should be heard the most!
