What will happen in your session?

Attendees will experience what it means, in practice, to do computational and data science in the open. We will present examples of scholarly articles that are 100% open, available on Github/Gitlab and whose findings can be easily reproduced. The original authors of these papers follow the Popper Experimentation Protocol (http://falsifiable.us), a convention and CLI tool (https://github.com/systemslab/popper) to write papers following best DevOps and OSS practices (version-control, automation and portability). We will show demos of how to re-execute experimentation pipelines in multiple domains: neuroscience, applied math, atmospheric sciences, among others (http://popper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sections/examples.html). If time permits, we will encourage attendees to bring their own scientific explorations so that they can "Popperize" them.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

Our goal is to show attendees that working in the open is more attainable than what they might think. We want our audience to go back to their home institutions (schools, universities, workplace) knowing that they can become part of a community of people that is collectively working towards making it easier for practitioners to produce and access scholarly content that is open and reproducible.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

One large screen or projector

Time needed

90 mins

Forgot to mention on the "additional materials" section that the hacking part of the session requires attendees to bring a laptop, with Bash/Git/Python installed.

Thank you for taking the time to submit a session to MozFest.

Due to the high level of submissions, we’re unable to accept all proposals and unfortunately, your session was not part of the final group.

You'll receive a follow up email from us in the next few days.
