And that's a wrap! After roughly five years of work I successfully defended my thesis. Thanks a lot to @benediktehinger.bsky.social for the amazing guidance throughout 🐙 #PhDone

Barman et al. describe LSLAutoBIDS, an open-source #Python package that implements an automated workflow for data integration, curation, versioning, and publishing: doi.org/10.52294/001... #OpenDatasets #SpecialIssue @benediktehinger.bsky.social

When recording experimental data, have you ever: 1) overwritten data? 2) changed the experiment and forgot when? 3) had a student leave the lab leaving a mess of dataset? 4) noticed how everyone has their own way to transfer data? We published a solution: LSLAutoBIDS - open science by design. 🧵
