Join us at the ReproducibiliTea journal club for an informal discussion about how we can improve transparency, reproducibility and openness in research – with tea (and other refreshments)!
We welcome staff and research students working in any discipline, regardless of experience or expertise.
The programme of events is set out below, together with article underpinning the theme for each month.
