SUMMARY:From Scientific Ideals to Practical Open Science: How reporting on study limitations can diminish Avoidable Research Waste
DESCRIPTION:What can a sociological framework from the mid-20th century teach us about today’s open-science movement? Surprisingly much.In this virtual seminar\, we revisit Robert Merton’s CUDOS framework—Communalism\, Universalism\, Disinterestedness\, and Organized Skepticism—and explore why these four principles continue to shape how we think about responsible and transparent research. The presentation will place special emphasis on organized skepticism: what it means in practice\, why it is crucial for research credibility\, and how fostering a culture of constructive critique can directly reduce avoidable research waste. The talk will also introduce practical examples of how these ideals can be operationalized today. You’ll hear about work on the automatic detection of study-limitation statements in scientific texts\, its implementation in the research-quality tool ScreenIT\, and how such tools can support reproducibility and stronger research assessment. The seminar will end with findings from a recent study on researchers’ adherence to a 14-item checklist for responsible and open research between 2020 and 2024.This session will appeal to anyone interested in: \n\n\n\n\nresearch transparency and rigor\n\n\n\nthe philosophical roots of open science\n\n\n\npractical tools for improving research quality\n\n\n\nshaping a scientific culture aligned with modern open-science values\n\n\n\n\nPresenter: Gerben ter Riet MD PhD – Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) – Clinical epidemiologist\, Open Science Advisor\, Member of the Committee for Research Integrity (at AUAS)\, and advisory board member of the Netherlands Research Integrity Network (NRIN). \n\n\n\nRecording: Recording will be available after the event on: https://www.youtube.com/@SciLifeLabTalksTraining Slides: The slides will be available after the event. \n\n\n\nMore information\n\nThis event is part of the SciLifeLab Open Science seminar series\, an event series by the SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS joint Data Management team.The goal of the events in this seminar series is to provide interesting interactive seminars around topics related to Research Data Management and Open Science in general\, and to foster discussions around best practices. \n\n\nResearch Data Management (RDM) concerns the organization\, storage\, preservation\, and sharing of data that is collected and analyzed during a research project. Proper planning and management of research data will make project management easier and more efficient while projects are being performed. It also facilitates sharing and allows others to validate as well as reuse the data.Open Science is a set of principles and practices that aim to make scientific research from all fields accessible to everyone for the benefits of scientists and society as a whole. Open science is about making sure not only that scientific knowledge is accessible but also that the production of that knowledge itself is inclusive\, equitable and sustainable. \n\n\nThe events are open to everyone working at or affiliated with a Swedish research institute or university. We welcome all researchers\, educational professionals\, staff\, RDM professionals\, and others with an interest in life sciences\, from all university levels. The events are informal and inclusive\, so feel welcome to join and participate in our interesting discussions! \n\n\nThe events will be recorded and published openly after the seminars on the SciLifeLab YouTube channel. The slides will be made available at our SciLifeLab Data Repository.

SUMMARY:Introduction to SciLifeLab Protocols
DESCRIPTION:SciLifeLab Data Centre is delighted to invite you to a webinar introducing SciLifeLab’s instance of protocols.ioSciLifeLab provides a dedicated institution-wide instance of protocols.io\, giving the SciLifeLab community access to a useful platform for creating\, organizing\, and openly sharing experimental and computational protocols. Protocol’s ensures that methods are citable\, discoverable and kept up to date through allowing versioning. Additionally\, the use of Protocol’s align with SciLifeLab’s efforts around open science and reproducibility. The webinar will consist of broad introduction to the service by protocols.io team that will be followed by SciLifeLab Data Centre’s practical advise on accessing premium SciLifeLab workspace and questions from the audience. \n\n\n\nWhen: Feb 4th 2026 10-11 CET \n\n\n\nSpeakers: Joanna Sendecka\, SciLifeLab Data Centre\, and Julia Kurz from protocols.io  \n\n\n\nWhere: Zoom ( link will be sent to registered participants)  \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis webinar\, will walk you through what this service offers and how you can benefit from joining it. \n\n\n\n\nDiscover what protocols.io service is and how it can improve your research: save time\, ensure consistent quality across experiments\, and reduce errors through well-structured\, scalable\, step-by-step protocols.\n\n\n\nLearn about SciLifeLab’s own institutional Protocol’s workspace\, available to our community with premium features included.\n\n\n\nUnderstand how protocols.io can enhance reproducibility and FAIR compliance to better visibility and formal credit for method development.\n\n\n\nLearn how to access your Protocol’s premium account and the support offered from Data Centre team to get started\n\n\n\n\nWe are looking forward to meeting! \n\n\n\nFor questions contact  SciLifeLab Data Centre datacentre@scilifelab.se

SUMMARY:Agentic AI in the life sciences - toward trustworthy research environments
DESCRIPTION:Sebastian Lobentanzer  \n\n\n\nNBIS and SciLifeLab Data Centre arrange an open SciLifeLab AI Seminar Series aimed at knowledge-sharing about Artificial Intelligence and applications in the Life Science community. The seminar series is open to everyone. The seminar is run over Zoom on the third Friday of the month during academic terms\, typically between 10 and 11 am\, with approx. 45 min presentation and 15 min discussion. \n\n\n\nWhen: February 13\, 10:00-11:00  \n\n\n\nWhere:  Zoom http://meet.nbis.se/ainw \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Sebastian Lobentanzer (Computational Biology at Helmholtz Center Munich). The speaker is a Principal Investigator at the Institute of Computational Biology at Helmholtz Center Munich since 2025\, and in affiliation with the Open Targets group at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) since 2024. Sebasitian also serves as the head of Computational Biology at the German Center for Diabetes Research.  \n\n\n\nRead more about the speaker here . \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nAgentic AI systems promise to improve the accessibility and efficiency of biomedical research\, yet generic large language model (LLM)–based agents often lack the reliability\, transparency\, and reproducibility required for scientific use. We present BioChatter\, a modular\, ontology-grounded agentic AI framework designed as the basis for an Integrated Research Environment (IRE) for biomedicine. BioChatter orchestrates LLMs\, biomedical knowledge representations\, and domain-specific tools within transparent and auditable workflows\, enabling domain-aware reasoning and traceable data flows from raw data to scientific conclusions. \n\n\n\nFollowing a benchmark-first development paradigm\, BioChatter supports systematic evaluation of agent behavior\, reasoning strategies\, and tool use prior to deployment. Using extensible interfaces such as the Model Context Protocol\, the framework enables interoperable\, community-driven extension while maintaining clear separation between reasoning\, knowledge\, and execution layers. By moving beyond chatbot-style interactions toward reproducible research workflows\, BioChatter demonstrates how agentic AI can evolve from opaque assistants into trustworthy research partners for the life sciences. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTo stay updated\, you can join our email list by contacting Olga Dethlefsen (olga.dethlefsen@dbb.su.se) or Bengt Sennblad (bengt.sennblad@scilifelab.se). \n\n\n\nPresentation Slides \n\n\n\nPowered By EmbedPress \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nJoin the webinar  \n\n\n\n\nJoin event
