Join Us for ReproducibiliTea at GMU!

Dr. Eileen Roesler and her PhD student, Toey Pithayarungsarit, are excited to invite all students at George Mason University to participate in ReproducibiliTea—a series of engaging discussions focused on improving research reproducibility and transparency. While our sessions are especially geared toward psychology majors, we welcome students from all disciplines to join the journal club. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a community dedicated to advancing scientific rigor and integrity. Come share your insights, learn from your peers, and contribute to a culture of openness in research.

We will meet approximately once a month, always on the first Wednesday at 1:30 PM in DKH 2073A.
