Organizing Team
Hi everyone! My name is Brittany (she/her) and I am a PhD candidate in
Psychology working with Dr. Andrew Szeto. My research interests involve
mental health promotion, mental illness and suicide stigma reduction, and
post-secondary student well-being. My other interests include hiking,
cooking, listening to podcasts, and hanging out with my pup Mickey!
I am interested in open science because all science should be transparent
and accessible, and the philosophy of open science aligns with these values!
I’m Ceilidh (she/her), a MSc student in experimental psychology supervised by Dr. Deinera Exner-Cortens. My research interests include gender-based violence, prevention science, and socio-emotional development. I am invested in learning about and practicing open science to ensure transparency and accessibility. Additionally, I believe in order to respectfully collaborate with stakeholders and community partners in research it is important to advocate for open access to knowledge and findings for all.
I'm Chelsie (she/them), a PhD candidate in experimental psychology supervised by Dr. Julia Kam and Dr. Brandy Callahan, studying mind wandering and executive functioning in individuals with and without diagnosis of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. My overall research interests are on the impact (or lack thereof) on sex, gender, and sexual identity on mental health and cognition; and anything to do with videogames. I care about open science because I believe scientists need to be accountable for our research and findings, and that research should be accessible to everyone. It takes a long time for findings to get applied in the real world and academics need to do more to mitigate that, while also dealing with misinformation and misinterpretation of their work!
Hi folks! I’m Emiko (she/her) and I am a PhD candidate in experimental psychology. My supervisor is Dr. Penny Pexman and I work in the Language Processing Lab. My research investigates semantic representation and concept knowledge – how we know and access meaning. I’m particularly interested in how other mental processes such as mental imagery are related to how we represent meaning in our minds. I love to travel, but when I’m not travelling, I like to spend time with my two puggles, Scout and Milo. I’ve been interested in open science and how to make my research more open since I started graduate school. I believe open science practices are critical to improving equity and inclusion and advancing social justice in academia.
Hey Everyone! My name is Jenelle Morgan, and I'm a Ph.D. student in the Industrial-Organizational Psychology Program. I work in the Selection and Recruitment lab with my supervisor, Dr. Derek Chapman. Our work mainly focuses on how and why employees choose to broadcast their experiences with their organization and how that impacts prospective applicants' perceptions. I also have a budding interest in examining unethical behaviours in the organization and the intersection of AI and recruiting/selection. As someone whose research has benefitted from Open Science practices (especially with the sharing of resources used in projects), I believe in this philosophy and hope to further efforts to educate and empower practices around making research transparent and accessible.
I’m Kaitlyn (she/they) and I am in the final year of my Psychology Undergraduate degree. I’m most interested in Industrial-Organizational Psychology and my research interests include workplace mistreatment, job interviews, and impression management. I have been engaged with research throughout my degree and the most valuable courses I’ve taken have explored how to do research in ways that have the biggest impact on communities. The more I learn about and conduct research, the more I believe that practices like open science and knowledge mobilization are essential. Outside of academics, I really enjoy spending time with my family — we spend a lot of time going for walks and doing puzzles.
I am a data scientist and R programmer passionate about solving problems
with data. My background is in psychology research, where I’ve studied
topics ranging from attitude formation, to decision-making, to individual
differences in brain function. Studying how people think and act has given
me a deep appreciation for the human side of data science. Much of our data
is about people. All of our data is communicated to people. Understanding
these relationships has been key to successfully navigating my role as a
data scientist, and has taught me the importance of a transparent and
accessible approach to scientific research.
If you have a problem that you want to use data science to answer, I would
love to help you. I offer several
consulting services
to help you accomplish your goals at any point in your project lifecycle,
including long and short term consulting work, private training, and drop-in
consulting. I value building new connections and would love to discuss
opportunities to work with you. Let’s get to know each other!
