TODAY (Mon 16 June) at 16:00 CEST, we are delighted to welcome not one, not two, but three guest speakers to #ReproducibiliTea in the HumaniTeas: @xenia_ks and Anna Yi Leung (both from the Self Learning Systems Lab of the University of Cologne) and @JohannesBreuer (from GESIS—Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, Cologne)! ☀️

They will lead a session on the role of language and its role for #replicability based on their recently published short paper (https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-025-04381-2). 📖

As usual, you can join us in Cologne @unibibkoeln for a cuppa or via Zoom (join our mailing list to get the link: https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/reproducibilitea-humaniteas). 🫖 #OpenScience #academia #linguistics @johannesbreuer.com

Finally got my hands on one of the very coveted, limited edition, one-of-a-kind, #UKRN teapots!!!🫖😼

Best annual retreat ever! #LNLretreat2025 #ReproducibiliTea #OpenScience #UKRNRetreat #ReproTea #teapot

In today's #ReproducibiliTea in the HumaniTeas session, we are delighted to welcome @nilsreiter to speak about "Reproducibility when working with large language models: A hallucination?". ✨🤖

As usual, you can join us for tea and biscuits @unibibkoeln (room 4.006, entrance via Kerpener Str.) or online via Zoom (join our mailing list to receive the link: https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/reproducibilitea-humaniteas) at 16:00 CEST. 🫖

The image below was generated using the title of Nils' talk as a prompt by a silly #GenAI web service that I have the feeling largely ignores prompts but, hey, maybe it caught your attention so there we go... 🙃

I can’t believe I’ve been to busy to boast about my new office artwork by @welshpixie which I acquired on Mastodon! I framed it last weekend and it has been adorning my office since Monday morning! 🤩 #ReproducibiliTea #MastodonArt #Calligraphy

The first couple of blog posts by my students about #ReproducibiliTea in the Humaniteas are now online!

Julia reported on the Library Night with the motto "Gaming", as part of which we played a collaborative discussion game on tackling research-related ethical dilemma and Kathrin reported (in German) about Martine Grice's session on diamond #OpenAcces publishing: https://elenlefoll.quarto.pub/os-linguistics2025/posts.html. #OpenScience

This summer semester I'm very excited to teach a brand-new seminar on "Open Science practices in Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition" @UniKoeln! ☀️

Some 20 B.A. and M.A. students studying #linguistics or a Romance language (+ one post-doc) signed up for this rather experimental course, many of whom had never heard of #OpenScience before. For this course, I've ditched the University's learning management system (ILIAS) and opted for a maximally open way to share teaching materials as I go along: https://elenlefoll.quarto.pub/os-linguistics2025/. :cc:

Students are also required to attend at least two #ReproducibiliTea in the #HumaniTeas session and to co-author a blog post about one session. Very curious to see how things will pan out! 🤓

Friday 4 April is #Library Night in Germany and the @unibibkoeln has chosen "gaming" as its motto! 🎮 🂱 🎲 🧩

The #ReproducibiliTea in the HumaniTeas team did not want to miss out on the opportunity to join in the fun, so we are hosting a collaborative Research Dilemma Game on ethical issues in #research and #academia (in English), followed by an open-end #OpenScience games evening with board games, card games, LEGO and more (in English and German).

Everyone is welcome! 🤗

#Reproducibility #OpenScience #OpenData #DataProtection

Tomorrow is our next #ReproducibiliTea session 🍵 we're discussing Gould et al. (2023). Same data, different analysts: variation in effect sizes due to analytical decisions in ecology and evolutionary biology. https://ecoevorxiv.org/repository/object/6000/download/12075/ - Don't fear the length - The author list is 13 (!) pages!

Our presentation about #RegisteredReports from last week. We wanted to introduce this research and publication approach to those of our colleagues who may have been unaware of it. We gave three examples from projects we've recently been involved in.

🎶 *When the weather outside is frightful, and the scientific theory so delightful* - Today for the Christmas edition of #ReproducibiliTea at Bielefeld University we will discuss @olivia's 2024 paper on 'What makes a good theory and how do me make a theory good' while munching on Christmas cookies 🍪🎄 If you haven't, check it out! (https://doi.org/10.1007/s42113-023-00193-2) | New topics can be suggested here: https://dud-poll.inf.tu-dresden.de/w_w2pLAjIw/

Fame at last: The back of my head made page 101 of this week's print edition of Spiegel! 😜

Jokes aside, I really enjoyed taking part in the #Replication Games at #MetaRep2024 and was part of a great (all-female) interdisciplinary team!
