The little elf improves science and academia

Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

There once was a little elf

Who could barely count to twelve

But in 24 days it changed the world of science all by itself.

In Germany we really like our advent calendars. One door a day to open for 24 days. And in each door we find a little treat, tea, poem, or whatever else you can think of.

Our advent calendar is not religious. Our joint belief is that we need good research and science.

We had a lot of fun preparing this treat for you!

The DRAdvent calendar contains...

  • A story about a little elf, who improves science and academia
  • Rhymes (penned by Joyce and myself)
  • Cute images (yes, I drew them myself)
  • Further reading on the topic of the day (from p-hacking to the value of diversity)

Follow the story

We set up a website where a new door opens each day revealing more of the elf's journey.

Looking forward to hearing from you if you like our present for the end of the year.

All the best,

Heidi

What are good strategies to develop an Open Science Policy? Here's our opinionated guide. This post was co-created with Sander Bosch, Open Science Programme Coordinator at VU Amsterdam. At the Open Science Retreat 2024 Sander and I had a conversation about his experience in policy development. Since we believe that his experience is valuable for a lot of people out there, we decided to write down three simple rues to create an Open Science policy: Develop output policies first and combine...

Making your research or code project FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and reproducible can feel like a chore. But if you have access to the right templates and resources, it can be quite the simple and rewarding task. Let's make it easy for ourselves to do the right thing! So today let me share some templates for setting up #FAIR and #reproducible projects. I asked folks on social media what suggestions they had and got so many that I was not able to put them all here...
