Professor Brian Nosek, co-Founder and Executive Director of the Center for Open Science (COS), is presenting two public seminars at the UQ School of Psychology in April 2019.
The COS operates the Open Science Framework, enabling open and reproducible research practices worldwide.
Brian is also a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Virginia. He received his PhD from Yale University in 2002.
He co-founded Project Implicit, a multi-university collaboration for research and education investigating implicit cognition--thoughts and feelings that occur outside of awareness or control.
Brian investigates the gap between values and practices, such as when behaviour is influenced by factors other than one's intentions and goals. Research applications of this interest include implicit bias, decision-making, attitudes, ideology, morality, innovation, barriers to change, open science, and reproducibility.
In 2015, he was named one of Nature's 10 and to the Chronicle for Higher Education Influence list.
