Sarahanne is in her final year of a PhD program at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. In her capacity as a PhD researcher, she explores the (online) community of scientists who advocate for and practice open science, and metascience, and those who contribute to the science reform movement in general. She explores this community, its members and structure using virtual and physical ethnography, using Twitter as a major data source.

Prior to beginning her PhD research, she completed a bachelor of psychology, graduating with first class honours from the University of Newcastle, Australia, and a research master degree specialising in psychometrics and statistics at the University of Groningen. She’s been hooked on metascience since first publishing an article reporting two replication attempts. She has published several papers during her research master and PhD programs, involving topics of perceptions of preregistered/registered report findings, replication target selection, reflexivity in quantitative disciplines, the tone debate in psychology, and Bayesian reanalysis of drug trial data.
