[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Bawan Amin. Date: 07 July 2021. Position: PhD-candidate. Research and/or work interests: Animal behaviour and ecology, mainly focusing on patterns at the individual level. How did you become interested in open research? It was about the time of my second masters thesis (2016-2017) when I started to see that academia worked differently from what I would have expected.
[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Vivienne Foroughirad. Date: 06 July 2021. Position: Postdoctoral Fellow. Research and/or work interests: I’m a behavioral ecologist interested specifically in research reproducibility and transparency over the course of long-term studies. If you had the power to change one thing about current incentives in your career path, what would it be? I would like to see more incentives for collaboration between early-career researchers.
[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Ellen Bledsoe. Date: 06 July 2021. Position: Postdoctoral Teaching and Research Fellow. Research and/or work interests: Community ecology, long-term community dynamics, data science, open science, DEI in STEM. How did you become interested in open research? I ended up in a wonderful PhD lab that is very strongly committed to Open Science. Before joining, I had honestly not spent much time thinking about the subject, and this aspect of the lab had little impact on my decision to join.
[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Maxime Fraser Franco. Date: 06 July 2021. Position: PhD Student. Research and/or work interests: My main research interest is on predator-prey interactions. I focus on studying the ecological and proximal mechanisms that shape the coexistence of foraging specialists and generalists within predator populations. More precisely, I evaluate how individual differences in predator foraging specialization defines individual differences in the type of prey they capture.
[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Esteban Fernandez-Juricic. Date: 06 July 2021. Position: Professor of Biological Sciences. Research and/or work interests: visual ecology, animal behavior, conservation ecology. If you had the power to change one thing about current research practices in your field, what would it be? Editorial decisions should be based on the robustness of the experimental design and quality of data instead of the type of result (positive, negative)?
[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Matt Grainger. Date: 05 July 2021. Position: Researcher. Research and/or work interests: I am an applied ecologist interested in how we use knowledge to better inform decision making in species conservation. I have a strong interest in developing tools that help people gather information in robust and transparent ways, interact with that information and make inference from it.
