Badge Overview

Issued by Hood College

Badge Description

The Leading Reproducible Research badge is based on the tenants of the "reproducible research" movement and teaches the fundamentals of experimental design, research ethics and communication to foster the ability to coordinate multifaceted research collaborations between scientists with backgrounds in biology, computer science and biostatistics. Using examples from classical literature and the concepts extolled by philosophers from around the world, learners explore alternative modes of leadership based on effective communication between individuals from different backgrounds. Key topics related to reproducible scientific computing as well as leadership principles needed to lead interdisciplinary teams are introduced. The five core areas of computational reproducibility are emphasized: literate programming, code version control and sharing, compute environment control, persistent data sharing and documentation. Emphasized leadership principles include communication, scientific ethics, influence, managing up and across, consensus building and fostering resilience.
