@joann-trejo.bsky.social, @marymunson4.bsky.social and I have a commentary in @natcellbio.nature.com on recent attacks on DEI in biomedical research: "If scientific research, especially biomedical research, is meant to serve everyone, then it requires that everyone has an opportunity to participate"

Join us for the #NeuroHackademy Neuroimaging and Data Science networking event at this year's @sfn.org meeting. Tues. Nov. 18th from 7–9pm at the Marriott Marquis, Grand Ballroom 4. The event is free; food and drink will be available for purchase from the hotel.

Excited to share that our work introducing the Reproducible Brain Charts (RBC) data resource is now published in Neuron!! 🎉 📚 Read the paper: authors.elsevier.com/c/1lpaF3BtfH... 🧠 Explore the RBC dataset: reprobrainchart.github.io

We've been experimenting and improving our practices in building healthy relationships with open source communities, here's our latest thinking on how we approach this important topic!

Excited to share that my TEDx talk is finally available online. I loved sharing what the science shows us: that it's time to reframe adolescence - from problem to ✨ potential ✨ 1/ www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr8V...

New paper alert! This paper describes the work that we have been doing in the last few years to create a software ecosystem for tractometry that is extensible, interoperable, and generally useful.

Hi there, Bluesky! We are the eScience Institute at the University of Washington. We provide data science and AI resources as well as expertise to UW researchers from all fields of study. Follow us to hear more about our upcoming seminars, tutorials, and research collaborations!

As co-director of AI at the Ann S. Bowers Women’s Brain Health Initiative, I want women in data science to flourish. We thus launch the #WiDSDatathon 2025 Global challenge - open to all levels - now on Kaggle! Entrants will predict ADHD via fMRI, with sex differences in mind. youtu.be/ESbiTbnlbdM

The scipy conference is one of the most welcoming and most inspiring conferences I have ever attended. It's at the center of a network of collaborators that work together across many different disciplines and sectors to improve scientific computing openly and broadly.

📣 The #SciPy2025 Call For Proposals is OPEN! ✨ 👉 Submit your talk, poster or tutorial in our website: https://buff.ly/3W5Lsl9 👀 Deadline for submission: February 26, 2025!

Some years ago I wrote a simple R app to explore colors in HCL space. While it's clunky, it still is my preferred way of selecting colors, because it offers features other color selectors don't normally have. Today, thanks to shinylive, the app is available standalone. 🧵

My paper with @mikearcaro.bsky.social exploring the organization of pulvino-cortical connections in newborn human infants is now out in @currentbiology.bsky.social ! www.cell.com/current-biol...

Applications to SWDB 2025 are due February 1st! Tell all your grad student and postdoc friends to apply!

Human cortical pyramidal neurons are larger, with more elaborate branching, and distinct nonlinear biophysical properties compared to rat cortical pyramidal neurons. Are they more functionally complex? Could that boost the human brain’s computational power? and is that what makes us human? (1/11)

The ROAR team produced an introductory video intended for teachers and school administrators but we also hope it’s informative for the research community. Please DM me with any feedback or suggestions! youtu.be/mTyRmyBRHS0?...

1/ I’m thrilled to share our new MRI study by Shachar Moskovich! We propose a method to approximate quantitative MRI (qMRI) parameters (R1 & R2) using widely available clinical and large-scale datasets, leveraging weighted MRI images like T1w, T2w, & PDw. doi.org/10.1002/hbm....

I am so incredibly proud of my team! ROAR emerged from a decade of cognitive neuroscience research into the mechanisms of reading disabilities. Now, with over 30 contributors and a half dozen publications, ROAR has just been approved as a dyslexia screener for the state of CA! www.cde.ca.gov/ci/cl/

It was great to chat with @thekirbylab.bsky.social about @introtobn.bsky.social! Its a great open access educational tool developed by a group of diverse authors, reviewers and undegrads! #neuroskyence 🧠

I am trying to develop software in R, and figured out how to use what I consider to be a minimal viable development workflow, but it's still kinda clunky. How do y'all do it? #rstats arokem.github.io/rokem-resear...

I propose we switch from saying preprint / published paper to saying publish / reprint. "I published my paper on arxiv and I'm hoping to get it reprinted in Nature"

Grateful to the OHBM communications committee (curiously not yet here?) and particularly to @audreycluo.bsky.social for putting together this interview with yours truly: www.ohbm-com.com/blog/intervi..., in which I had the opportunity to hold forth on my educational motivations and philosophy

New preprint led by Kelly Chang! Using www.actagingresearch.org data we show that signal processing that accounts for free water in diffusion MRI of aging brains results in more reliable estimates of tissue properties in major brain pathways and more discriminability between clinical categories.

The Journal of Open Source Software is looking for new editors -- and, relevant to my community here, we're particularly looking for folks with a background in geographic data science, remote sensing, ecology, or urban science blog.joss.theoj.org/2024/10/call... #GISChat #geosky

It's PhD application season, so I wrote a page with some FAQs and their answers for prospective students as part of my group's SOPs: nrdg.github.io/sop/general/...

New paper out! "Ten simple rules for scientific code review" journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol..., in which I detailed how to use *code review* in academic research in a didactic, effective, and enjoyable manner.

This is an amazing opportunity to be at the center of one of the most impactful projects in human neuroscience. Feel free to reach out if you have questions. Looking forward to voting for my replacement!

We are excited to announce the opening of the nomination period for electing two new Steering Group members! The nomination period opens today, September 3 and will close on Friday, September 20 at 11:59pm (Anywhere on Earth; UTC-12; time.is/Anywhere_on_...).

We are very happy and proud to be awarded the The Neuro - Irv and Helga Cooper Foundation Open Science Prize. To paraphrase Yaroslav Halchenko who was in Montreal to receive the prize on behalf of the whole community. "Standards are the common language of open science!"

Congratulations Dora and Camille! Looking forward to working together to improve the BIDS standard and benefit the BIDS community

New work spearheaded by Ethan Roy and in collaboration with a lot of other great people: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... In one sentence: differential educational opportunities are linked to the development of brain connections, even when accounting for socioeconomic differences.
