The ReproducibiliTea is a journal club dedicated to topics related to reproducibility, statistics in data analysis, open science, research quality and good research practices (across fields, biomedicine, social sciences, computer science. etc). These journal clubs happen simultaneously around the world, see further information here. 

Organizer: Dr. Simon Schwab

We meet about every other week on Thursdays at 16:00, for more details and Zoom links see schedule below.
