Channel: Saving Democracy dot ca
Date: 2021-04-07

This is a tribute video to my late friend and collaborator Jon Tennant where:
1. I go over the RARE traits/behaviors that Jon embodied/exhibited that we should all strive to emulate a bit more
2. I outline how Jon has inspired me & impacted my work in scientific transparency, particularly focusing on how Jon’s spirit/legacy has given me STRENGTH to conduct our BOLD new TRANSPARENCY AUDIT initiative ( https://etiennelebel.com/cs/t-leaderboard/t-leaderboard.html ) & also given me STRENGTH to survive the ensuing nasty personal attacks & general uproar the initiative caused ( https://twitter.com/curatescience/status/1371927234899017731 ).

Special thanks to Stefaniia Ivashchenko for organizing Jon Tennant’s Memorial Day

====GENERAL SAVING SCIENCE SHOW INFO====
Dr. Etienne LeBel bio: 
LeBel is a psychologist & independent meta-scientist who has contributed to raising transparency & replication standards in academia for more than 10 years.  He has published over 30 peer-reviewed scientific articles in internationally renowned journals, including the prestigious journal Science.  He is founder & lead of Curate Science, a nonprofit global initiative to verify & track the transparency and credibility of research (see etiennelebel.com and CurateScience.org for more details).  I'm motivated by (1) the ethical duty of intellectuals to report on matters of public concern & (2) the fact that properly functioning science is the best way to finding better treatments for cruel medical conditions like suicide, cancer, and Alzheimer’s, which have touched my family personally, and continue to afflict millions of people worldwide every year.
