Reproducibility. Huh! Absolutely everything.
In only five short weeks of boot camp, we covered a heck of a lot of reproducibility ground ranging from high-level theory to practical recommendations. Many of the ideas were totally new to the participants, although others were familiar but were only now put into the context of reproducibility.
Something that struck me over the course of the uae rcs data bootcamp was that much of the material was incredibly useful for researchers, no matter their level of experience or whether they were working independently or in teams.
Thus, many of the topics we discussed, skills we explored and tools we examined were as applicable to early career researchers as they were to established academics and had potentially to improve the work of individual projects or collaborative efforts.
Importantly, I am not the only one to think this as participants reported that they could see how the new information might apply to a wide variety of their day-to-day tasks and how they might be able to develop their skills further over time.
