Join us for a special event to celebrate NASA’s declaration: 2023 is the Year of Open Science! The Open Scholars Project at FSU will host a participant-driven symposium featuring a range of topics, projects and resources related to open science including open access publishing, open data and more. We welcome faculty, graduate students, postdocs and state government professionals from all subject areas to participate.
Invited speaker sessions will be in-person and streamed online. In-person attendance will be capped for catering and room capacity.
Featured speakers include:
Representatives from the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR)
Dr. Lynette Hoelter is an Archivist and Director of Instructional Resources at ICPSR, as well as the Director of the National Archive of Data on Arts and Culture (NADAC). She is involved in projects related to quantitative reasoning and statistical literacy, especially within the undergraduate social science curriculum, as well as in projects that contribute to social science data infrastructure. Dr. Hoelter has taught statistics and research methods/survey research in the departments of sociology and urban and regional planning at the University of Michigan and elsewhere.
Anna Shelton is the Membership Engagement Manager at ICPSR, where she supports institutions using data to make a difference. Shelton's previous experience includes UCLA and the American Red Cross. Shelton has been an elected official in Michigan, received a commendation from the City of Los Angeles, and worked as a consultant in Nairobi helping women create small businesses. She received her BA from California State University, Northridge and her MA in Social Entrepreneurship and Change from Pepperdine University.
Dr. Robert Schoen, Learning Systems Institute
Robert C. Schoen is an associate professor of mathematics education in the School of Teacher Education and the associate director of the Florida Center for Research in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (FCR-STEM) at the Learning Systems Institute at Florida State University. His research interests include student cognition in mathematics and statistics, the mathematical and statistical education of teachers, educational and psychological measurement and the evaluation of educational interventions. Schoen received the mathematics educator of the year award from the Florida Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators in 2019 and from the Florida Council of Teachers of Mathematics in 2022. Schoen’s research often uses randomized controlled trial research designs. He has preregistered several studies using Open Science Framework and the Registry for Educational Effectiveness Studies. He shares data and replication code through Open Science Framework and the InterUniversity Consortium for Policy and Social Research.
Dr. Anand "Sunny" Narayanan, Research Professor at Florida A&M University - Florida State University (FAMU-FSU)
Dr. Anand “Sunny” Narayanan is currently a Research Faculty at Florida State University (FSU). Sunny holds a Ph.D. from Texas A&M University in Medical and Space Physiology, and B.S. degrees from West Virginia University in Mechanical Engineering and Biology.
Sunny took his first professional steps with NASA supporting systems engineering computational projects at the Katherine Johnson Independent Verification and Validation Facility, completing team-based design-build-fly projects through NASA’s Microgravity University program, and conducting nanotechnology biomedical research as a Ronald E. McNair Scholar.
He continued his academic steps at Texas A&M University, supported by the National Space Biomedical Research Institute for his doctorate to study physiological adaptations of astronauts during their journey in space. His doctoral work also involved opportunities at Brookhaven National Labs, International Space Station spaceflight biomedical projects (Rodent Research-3, 9, and 18 and Rodent Research Reference Mission-2), National Institutes of Health-funded studies, and NASA Kennedy and Johnson Space Centers. Now as a Research Faculty, he continues his support of NASA’s space program, leading and supporting multiple biomedical studies investigating the physiological effects of deep space radiation, Lunar and Martian gravity, relevant to our human space exploration goals as we return to the Moon and beyond through the Artemis program.
