The Turing Way: Investing in Human Infrastructure for Culture Change

The Turing Way: Investing in human infrastructure for culture change

Description: In this session, we will introduce The Turing Way - an open source community-led guide to reproducible, ethical and inclusive data science. The Turing Way's goal is to provide all the information that researchers, industry professionals and members of the public need to understand reproducibility and ethical standards in data science at all stages of development. 

This workshop will particularly engage The Turing Way stakeholders in discussing: 

• How they can collaborate to share, enhance and promote research best practices in their data science projects,

• Importance of investing in human infrastructure through supporting emergent roles for the sustainability of the data ecosystem, and 

• Community processes in The Turing Way and how they can apply in different contexts to enhance participation, understanding and skills in data science. 

Format: This session will be a mix of demo/presentation by facilitators, silent reflections and group discussions to bring diverse perspectives into the conversation. We will use a shared document for collaborative note taking and capturing feedback and learnings from those who cannot or prefer not to speak during the session.

Presenters:

Malvika Sharan: Turing Senior Researcher, Open Research, Tools, Practices and Systems, Co-lead investigator of The Turing Way

Kirstie Whitaker: Turing Programme Director for Tools, Practices and Systems, Lead Developer of The Turing Way
