2020 Huskey Exhibition
Applications for the 2020 Huskey Graduate Research Exhibition are now closed. Fifteen graduate students were selected to receive a $200 honorarium and will present their research in 10-min TED-style talks at the exhibition on Wednesday, March 4, 2020. Presenters have the option to attend two workshops before the exhibition. See the calendar below.
The theme of this year’s exhibition is open scholarship. As a new feature this year, presenters can request to have their talks professionally videorecorded to advance their professional development and increase the visibility of their work. Presenters will be asked in advance if they would like to be recorded and receive a video of their talk.
Also new for this year, presenters will have the option to upload their slides and any other supporting materials for their talks (e.g., data, code) to an online repository to enhance the transparency, accessibility, and reproducibility of their research. Visit our OSF Meetings page here (to upload materials, click “Add your talks” and follow the instructions).

Improving the Research Culture
The currency of academic science is publishing. Producing novel, positive, and clean results maximizes the likelihood of publishing success because those are the best kind of results. There are multiple ways to produce such results: (1) be a genius, (2) be lucky, (3) be patient, or (4) employ flexible analytic and selective reporting practices to manufacture beauty. In a competitive marketplace with minimal accountability, it is hard to avoid (4). But, there is a way. With results, beauty is contingent on what is known about their origin. With methodology, if it looks beautiful, it is beautiful. The only way to be rewarded for something other than the results is to make transparent how they were obtained. With openness, I won’t stop aiming for beautiful papers, but when I get them, it will be clear that I earned them. (View slides.)
Professor Nosek investigates the gap between values and practices, such as when behavior is influenced by factors other than one's intentions and goals. Research applications of this interest include open science, metascience, implicit bias, decision-making, attitudes, ideology, morality, innovation, and barriers to change. Professor Nosek applies this interest to improve alignment between personal and organizational values and practices. In 2015, he was named one of Nature's 10 and to the Chronicle for Higher Education Influence list.
