Hello everyone,
We hope this email finds you well!
We are writing to invite you to yet another “*Ask me Anything*
”
meeting, this time dedicated to
* Understanding the “reproducibility crisis” and funding opportunities for
ECRs.*
Mohammad Akhlaghi from Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) will talk
about a template produced within RDA activities providing a solution to the
computational/analytical aspect of the “*reproducibility crisis*
“.
The template contains human, and machine-readable, instructions on how to
automatically reproduce the results of a project that uses it: download the
inputs (necessary software source code and data, and build the software),
do the analysis to produce the output (run the input software on the input
data to any level of complexity) and produce the narrative PDF (for example
a published paper providing context and qualitative analysis with figures).
*As part of the RDA grant Mohammad and his colleagues have funding to
invite several researchers from outside of astronomy/astrophysics (academia
or industry) to the IAC (Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain) for a week to
help in adopting this template for their research (all costs will be
covered).*
If you are interested in attending *please note that registration is
required**: *

*Short bio*
Mohammad Akhlaghi[1] is a Big Data Astronomer at the Instituto de
Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC)[3], Spain. He is the founder of a
reproducible paper template project that was awarded an RDA-Europe adoption
grant[2] (2019), and is also the founder of GNU Astronomy Utilities[4] (a
collection of free software programs and libraries for astronomical data
analysis). He received his PhD in astronomy from Tohoku University (Japan)
and prior to coming to the IAC was CNRS postdoctoral fellow in Centre de
Recherche Astrophysique de Lyon (CRAL, France).
