This repository contains the lesson materials used in the open science talk we gave at the SLU Research event on September 11 and 12, 2019.
By the end of this lesson, learners should be able to:
- Describe key features of open science
- Discuss the phenomenon of the so-called replication "crisis"
- Explain how open science practices can help address issues confronting science, including around replication
Chris’s street barriers research (see (https://chris-prener.github.io/barriers/) uses this framework for storing research data, analysis code, and results as well as a pre-print of our recently released findings.

The SLU Data Science Seminar (DSS) is a collaborative, interdisciplinary group at Saint Louis University focused on building researchers’ data science skills using open source software. We currently host seminars focused on the programming language R. The SLU DSS is co-organized by Christina Gacia, Ph.D., Kelly Lovejoy, Ph.D., and Christopher Prener, Ph.D.. You can keep up with us here on GitHub, on our website, and on Twitter.
Founded in 1818, Saint Louis University is one of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious Catholic institutions. Rooted in Jesuit values and its pioneering history as the first university west of the Mississippi River, SLU offers nearly 13,000 students a rigorous, transformative education of the whole person. At the core of the University’s diverse community of scholars is SLU’s service-focused mission, which challenges and prepares students to make the world a better, more just place.
