Dorothy Bishop Prize winners

The UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN) has announced three winners of the 2023 Dorothy Bishop Prize. The award celebrates early career researchers who promote open research practices and improve research culture.

Natalie Zelenka, a Data Scientist at the Jean Golding Institute (University of Bristol), was one of the winners – she delivers training, carries out data science and software engineering and creates communities to support interdisciplinary data science research across the university. She also co-leads the Data Hazards project and the Data Ethics Club journal club. 

Senior researcher at the University of Cambridge Social Decision-Making Lab, Flavio Azevedo, is another winner. He is the co-founder and director of FORRT (the Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training) – a community of more than 700 early career scholars who work to integrate open science principles into higher education and advance research transparency, reproducibility, rigour, and ethics through pedagogical reform.

Nicolas DeVito, a postdoctoral researcher at the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science (University of Oxford) also won a Dorothy Bishop Prize. He studies and writes about research integrity and open science issues in the health and medical sciences. Each of the winners will receive a £500 voucher and a LEGO mini figure.
