The following four members have been nominated for positions on the AIMOS Board. They are listed in alphabetical order, by family name.

Jason Chin

I have devoted much of my career to studying and improving scientific research methods, transparency, and reproducibility – and their application to improving law and policy. In 2020, I was the elected president of AIMOS. During my tenure, I obtained the funding to start the MetaROR platform and entered into a partnership with the RoRI to bring that to life. I organised the 2020 and 2021 AIMOS conferences, which were online. They attracted hundreds of participants from around the world. I was also an organiser of the 2021 Metascience Conference. In forensic science, I organised a letter-writing campaign that led to a major forensic science journal adopting registered reports, with myself as registered reports editor.

Joanna Diong

I am a physiotherapist specialising in causal methods for treatment and prevention of disease, in clinical trials and observational studies. An arm of my work applies these and other methods to investigate solutions to improve the value of health and medical research. I was awarded the 2024 AIMOS Commendation Award for efforts to improve research quality, and I co-lead the Bias in Research Node of the Evidence, Policy and Influence Collaborative (EPIC) at the Charles Perkins Centre, with a focus on reducing research bias and promoting research integrity, and serves as Research Integrity Advisor at The University of Sydney. I have a sustained interest in good scientific practices, applying transparent research principles by making de-identified data and code publicly available (Github repository) and registering study protocols (OSF repository). My research interest and track record align with the mission of AIMOS to improve the quality and openness of research, and I look forward to serving the scientific community through AIMOS.

Fiona Fidler

Paulina Stehlik

I am the head of the History & Philosophy of Science department at the University of Melbourne. I also co-lead MetaMelb, an interdisciplinary metascience research group with researchers and students in psychology, ecology, biomedicine and history & philosophy of science. For the last six years, I have been very focused on the repliCATS project (Collaborative Assessments for Trustworthy Science), which uses structured elicitation and deliberation protocols to improve peer review. I am the founding president of AIMOS in 2019 and have trouble staying away.

I am a Senior Lecturer at Griffith University School of Pharmacy and Medical Science (PAM) and Honorary Adjunct at Bond University Faculty of Health Science and Medicine. My research interests are in meta-research, evidence based practice, and clinician engagement in research. I have led the ENHANCE project since 2019, which aims to improve the research training of medical doctors during their speciality training. Specifically, my work has identified that current research training requirements of medical specialists are ineffectual and may be incentivising poor quality research. I have a long standing passion for advocating for quality science and its importance for public good. In 2012, I joined as an active member of the Victorian Skeptics, and have been President of the Gold Coast Skeptics since 2017. I contribute to meta-research and open science advocacy at Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service through various research committee memberships and collaborations, at Griffith University through student supervision and PAM Research Committee role, and at the Medicines-Intelligence Centre for Research Excellence, a national collaboration of Australia’s leading pharmacoepidemiologists. My particular interest is in how meta-research and open science can improve the collaboration and communication between researchers and clinicians.
