BrOpen Science: Who is Watching the Watchers?

A number of years ago, Psychology went through a “replication crisis” but if truth be known, we should not be surprised for many reasons.  Statistically speaking, 5% of publications are Type 1 errors.  But, statistically speaking, given Cohen’s recommendation of a minimum Power of 0.5, half of our experiments — if they are true —  should fail. Around the same time as the replication crisis occurred, a new movement in science emerged dubbed “Open Science” .  But, it has been argued that it should be termed “BrOpen Science” as it perpetuates long standing biases in science. Who is double checking pre-registered studies?  This seminar is meant to challenge your beliefs and stimulate conversation.

Many attend FTF, but we also livestream sessions at

For students/faculty at UVic, best practice is to launch the Zoom app and then click “Sign in with SSO” so that you access the call from the UVic Zoom.
