The BIDS Best Practices in Data Science forum focuses on increasing diversity and inclusivity in Berkeley’s active data science community. This discussion series, which launched in Spring 2019, meets to synthesize participants' experiences working in the field of data science, discern how data science practices can be done well, and discover how to improve upon lessons-learned. Discussions are led by BIDS Biology and Environmental Sciences Lead Ciera C. Martinez and discussions cover a broad range of meta-research topics — including ethics, diversity and inclusion, group dynamics, process implementation — and blog posts and white papers are issued periodically to report the groups findings:
