This is the first of two workshops on reproducibility in science, during which participants are introduced to concepts of FAIR and open science. After discussing the definition of and need for FAIR science, participants are walked through tutorials on installing and using Github and Docker, the powerful, open-source tools for versioning and publishing code and software, respectively.

Difficulty level: Intermediate
Duration: 1:20:58

In this lesson, while learning about the need for increased large-scale collaborative science that is transparent in nature, users also are given a tutorial on using Synapse for facilitating reusable and reproducible research. 

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 1:15:12
Speaker: : Abhi Pratap

This lesson contains the first part of the lecture Data Science and Reproducibility. You will learn about the development of data science and what the term currently encompasses, as well as how neuroscience and data science intersect. 

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 32:18
Speaker: : Ariel Rokem

In this second part of the lecture Data Science and Reproducibility, you will learn how to apply the awareness of the intersection between neuroscience and data science (discussed in part one) to an understanding of the current reproducibility crisis in biomedical science and neuroscience.
