[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Timothy Clark. Date: 09 July 2021. Position: Associate Professor. Research and/or work interests: Eco-physiology of aquatic animals in response to environmental change. What’s an ‘ORT’ subject or practice that you think deserves more attention? Misconduct (e.g., data fabrication) is more widespread than scientists like to accept, and the situation will not improve unless we start openly discussing it, and we give protection/incentives for whistleblowers to come forward if they have robust evidence behind their allegations.

What’s an open science practice or topic that you’ve changed your views on within the last few years? Why? HARKing; it’s essentially taught as a skill in a lot of PhDs, and I only realised it was an issue when meeting open-science folk.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Juan Rocha. Date: 09 July 2021. Position: Researcher. Research and/or work interests: I’m a research scientist at the Stockholm Resilience Centre. My research questions are oriented towards understanding critical transitions: from regime shifts in ecological systems, to collective action in society. Currently I’m focusing on the idea of cascading effects: how a critical transition in an ecosystem in the world can impact the likelihood of other ecosystems tipping over.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Tanya Strydom. Date: 09 July 2021. Position: Graduate Student. How did you become interested in open research? At a graduate-level (field) course. This was the first time that I was really introduced to the bigger issue of open research and (by extension) reproducibility, and I decided then and there it was time to Stan… I think this was in part because someone was there to hold my hand through the ‘scary unknown’ of what reproducibility looks like (and how to work towards it), which probably says something about the importance of integrating openness and reproducibility into student training.
