    Doing Science Differently Ep 4 - Mental Health Wendy Ingram

    In this episode we tackle the important topic of mental health in academia. Shockingly, the likelihood to experience depression and anxiety is six times higher in graduate students as compared to the general population. However, there is still a strong stigma surrounding mental illness and a lack of institutional support. Wendy, our guest and CEO as well as co-founder of Dragonfly Mental Health, tells us more about her personal journey of becoming an academic mental health advocate. She also explains how the globally operating, non-profit organization Dragonfly aims to change the climate and culture surrounding mental health. https://dragonflymentalhealth.org/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTXMQmAoGaMIPXcOYPCPajg Berlin-based mental health services: In case you are in a psychosocial crisis or in an acute mental and psychiatric emergency, please contact the Berlin Crisis Service (Berliner Krisendienst): https://www.berliner-krisendienst.de/en/ Support hotline in English for people in crisis situations: 030-44010607 (daily from 18:00 – 24:00) Support hotline (Telefonseelsorge e.V.) in German for people in crisis situations: 0800 - 1110111 Your show host and producer today is Christine Knoll @mogadhora.

  2. Episode 3 - Success in Science with Dr Noémie Aubert Bonn

    Episode 3 - Success in Science with Dr Noémie Aubert Bonn

    In this episode we discuss how success in science is measured and how this impacts research integrity. Meta-researcher Dr Noémie Aubert Bonn shares her experiences studying bioethics and research assessment. Topics like the academic brain drain and 'publish or perish' come up as negative impacts of today's measures of success. Nevertheless, Noémie introduces us to multiple new initiatives challenging the old system and promoting research integrity. This episode is hosted and produced by Yves Constantin Plessen @CYPlessen.

  3. Episode 2 - Reproducibility with Dr Tim Errington

    Episode 2 - Reproducibility with Dr Tim Errington

    In this episode, we discuss reproducible and open science practices or the lack thereof. Research is both innovative and self-correcting - or maybe not? Are we losing robustness by constantly aiming for novelty and breakthrough results? In 2011, the Center for Open Science set out to estimate the robustness of findings in the field of cancer biology by trying to replicate 50 landmark papers published between 2011-2012. We have a conversation with Dr Timothy Errington, Head of Research at the Center for Open Science, and manager of the Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology. We learn more about replicability and factors that influence it, challenges encountered during the project, and what researchers can do to change the lack of replicability in scientific publications and their attitude towards errors. // This episode was hosted by Eric Danner @EricDannerBio and produced by Joachim Fuchs @JoachimFuchs_.
