SORTEE member voices: Kaitlin Kimmel
[SORTEE Member Voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Kaitlin Kimmel. Date: 2 July 2021. Position: Postdoc. Research and/or work interests: Causes and consequences of biodiversity changes; functional traits; causal inference. What strategies/approaches do you think are most likely to lead to a research culture change?: I think that adapting pre-registration and the registered report format will drastically improve our science. I know that we often do not distinguish between exploratory and confirmatory analyses - we usually just write the paper that we think will be the most interesting at the expense of being more transparent.
