Save the date! Mark your calendars! You won’t want to miss the 2016 NYU Reproducibility Symposium!

What: “NYU Reproducibility Symposium”
When: Tuesday, May 3, 2016
Where: Jacobs  Room | The Center for Urban Science + Progress | 1 MetroTech Center, 19th Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11201

Achieving reproducibility in scientific research is a laudable goal, however this has been difficult to achieve. While data and data analysis play a central role in many scientific domains, most papers specify their methods and data only informally and omit important supplemental material. High quality journals have responded to this issue by making reproducibility a requirement for publication. Understanding the challenges  to reproducibility and combating them with tools and best practices is therefore  of cross-disciplinary relevance.

The Moore-Sloan Data Science Environment at NYU is pleased to announce a symposium on reproducibility that will be held on May 3, 2016. The symposium will consist of keynotes and tutorial sessions in the morning, followed by discussions of research topics in reproducibility and hands-on sessions in the afternoon.

The schedule is forthcoming. If you are interested in presenting or speaking at the symposium, please email Vicky Steeves at victoria.steeves@nyu.edu or submit a lightning talk abstract by April 8th!

If you are interested in attending, please submit a non-binding registration to help us plan!
