NUCLEAR ENGINEERING COLLOQUIUM SPRING 2016 A Noob's Guide to Reproducibility Philip B. Stark, Ph.D. Professor of Statistics Senior Fellow, Berkeley Institute of Data Science Associate Dean, Division of Mathematical and Physical Sciences University of California, Berkeley Monday, January 25, 2016 4:00pm - 5:00pm *Sibley Auditorium* Bechtel Engineering Center OPEN TO THE PUBLIC What does it mean to work reproducibly and transparently? Why bother? Whom does it benefit, and how? What will it cost me? What work habits will I need to change? Will I need to learn new tools? What resources help? What’s the simplest thing I can do to make my work more reproducible? How can I move my discipline, my institution, and science as a whole towards reproducibility? About the Speaker: Philip B. Stark is professor of Statistics and associate dean of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at UC Berkeley. He works on inverse problems and uncertainty quantification with applications including astrophysics, cosmology, ecology, education, elections, food, geophysics, health, legislation, litigation, and risk.
