Open Science through rOpenSci

Hi Everyone! This month R-Ladies Melbourne will have two events!

For our first event, come and join us to hear from Melina Vidoni who will give a seminar on Open Science through rOpenSci.

rOpenSci fosters a culture that values open and reproducible research using shared data and reusable software. In this talk, Melina will share the package review system, their values, and why you should take part of it. Melina will also share different activities carried out by rOpenSci for the R Community.

Dr Melina Vidoni is a newly joined academic in the School of Science/Computer Science and Software Engineering at RMIT university. She graduated from the Universidad Tecnológica Nacional (UTN) in Santa Fe, Argentina as an Information Systems Engineer, where she also received her PhD in Information Systems Engineering. In 2018 she founded the Santa Fe chapter for R-Ladies. Currently, she is one of the Associate Editors of rOpenSci, and also a reviewer for the Systers Pass-It-On awards offered by AnitaBorg.org.

This seminar will be hosted by our fantastic sponsor Zendesk. Pizza and drinks will be provided for the evening. Please arrive any time from 5:30pm for a 6pm start.

We look forward to seeing everyone there!
