Science is about standing on the shoulders of giants – making new discoveries and building new applications by reusing foundations laid by others. But however collaborative a process science is, we don’t always make it easy. Have you ever tried but failed to reproduce someone else's reported research results? How about your own results? According to scientific research, this is not uncommon in academia, which has led to the phenomenon being dubbed as "the reproducibility crisis". And reproducibility is just the first step of reusability.
In this webinar, we will discuss the challenges in reproducibility and reusability of scientific data, methods, and computer code. What do the terms really mean and how can we take steps to improve our work to take them into account.

At this point, however, Durov had already been working on Telegram with his brother, and further planned a mobile-first social network with an explicit focus on anti-censorship. Later in April, he told TechCrunch that he had left Russia and had “no plans to go back,” saying that the nation was currently “incompatible with internet business at the moment.” He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup. The regulator said it had received information that messages containing stock tips and other investment advice with respect to selected listed companies are being widely circulated through websites and social media platforms such as Telegram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. He floated the idea of restricting the use of Telegram in Ukraine and Russia, a suggestion that was met with fierce opposition from users. Shortly after, Durov backed off the idea. Despite Telegram's origins, its approach to users' security has privacy advocates worried. Right now the digital security needs of Russians and Ukrainians are very different, and they lead to very different caveats about how to mitigate the risks associated with using Telegram. For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority. They may value access to news and communication with their loved ones over making sure that all of their communications are encrypted in such a manner that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its employees, or governments with court orders.
