The Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in the Social Sciences (BITSS) and the UC Berkeley Library is excited to announce the Open Research Seminar (ORS), a webinar series to promote and share knowledge about the use of tools and practices for transparency and reproducibility in social science research. The ORS will be an opportunity for researchers to showcase applications of specific tools and practices (e.g., developing a lab protocol for reproducibility, building a website to catalog open datasets, etc.) or evaluations of the effectiveness of existing tools and practices (e.g., results-blind peer review and publication bias). All webinars will be free and open to register to the general public.
TextXD is an interdisciplinary conference on computational text analysis, spanning theory, applications, tools, and ethics. It strives to bring together researchers from different fields who normally wouldn’t cross paths to share their expertise and perspectives with each other across domains — spanning human languages, literature, social sciences, law, health and medicine, computer science, and beyond.
The conference is hosted by the Berkeley Institute for Data Science and
partnering with D-Lab to provide training on foundational computational text analysis tools.
The event will be held in-person from December 5 to 7.

Graduate Student Mentors
for Undergraduate Labs at Berkeley (ULAB)
We are the Cognitive Science and Psychology division of Undergraduate Labs at Berkeley (ULAB), a student-run organization dedicated to providing access to research opportunities for undergraduate students and preparing them to enter faculty labs.
We are looking for graduate students who would like to mentor other students in the research process. These mentors would help students first in replicating a published study and learning fundamental skills required for research during the fall semester, then extending the study using their own ideas during the spring semester. ULAB is a unique opportunity for students to gain a leadership role in research and to publish their own research in the ULAB Journal.
Xlab supports UC Berkeley’s world class research by providing resources such as access to participant pools, experiment coordination, payment support, access to softwares, grants, and more. It also provides technical and administrative support. For more information about Xlab, click here!
