NIH is soliciting public comments on the very thorny challenges Generative AI poses to data sharing initiatives. I hope the Open Science community will weigh in. Comments are due by July 15th.

The Conway Lab (NIH) and Butts Lab (UMD) are seeking a brilliant postdoc to study high-acuity vision combining large-scale electrophys and deep computational modeling. Prior experience (broadly speaking) is recommended: please email Dan Butts with CV and brief research statement.

NIH R50 funding opportunity to provide salary support for Research Software Engineers who work on developing or disseminating biomedical-related software, tools, or algorithms. Next deadline is Weds 6/4/2025. Details: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

The acting director of the U.S. National Institutes of Health has extended the appointments of three NIH neuroscience lab heads and other employees who were set to be terminated tomorrow, reversing the effects of a recent renewal ban. By @avaskham.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/science-and-...

Preprint on brain aging. From single timepoint data, estimate if delta reflects subject-varying aging rates vs baseline variations. For common analyses, baseline effects tend to dominate, whereas multiple aging modes show a range of results. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Maybe slightly odd timing, but we'd like to announce: A new AFNI Bootcamp for FMRI/MRI, Jan 29-31, 2025. This part will focus on group analysis, statistics, surface analyses, results reporting and more. This event will be virtual. Please see here: discuss.afni.nimh.nih.gov/t/afni-bootc...

I believe such technical work is key to achieving our mission — making data easier for everyone to access and use. But it is extremely hard to find funding for technical work. If you’d like to support us, we would very much appreciate if you support our non-profit work: ourworldindata.org/donate

The call for proposals for Metascience 2025 is open! We’re after ideas for sessions, talks, posters & online symposia. Deadline 7 February metascience.info/call-for-pro... And if you haven’t already, save the date! 30 June to 2 July #Metascience25 @briannosek.bsky.social @rorinstitute.bsky.social

Research integrity and open science job offer.

Encouraging (for bsky) that in <2w since posting more actively, Imaging Neuroscience @imagingneurosci.bsky.social already has ~2k followers. Also interesting that, even with 12k followers on X, level of engagement is similar in the two platforms. Time to shut down X account, or, too soon?

Devastatingly sad news. My good friend, colleague, and a treasured scientist at the NIH for over 20 years, Dr. Sean Marrett, has passed away today. I wrote a short obituary for him. www.thebrainblog.org/2023/12/13/a...

Good guest post on @stuartbuck.bsky.social 's Substsack about why some some fields self-correct faster than others. Reminiscent of what @talyarkoni.com has said about psychology: it took so long to ferret out irreproducible science because it mattered so little. open.substack.com/pub/goodscie...

1/12 New paper on psychedelics as treatments for mental health problems is out! We discuss 10 challenges which limit conclusions that can be drawn about safety/efficacy of psychedelic therapy. We share a checklist for journalists, policymakers & others to assess quality of studies. Brief thread:

I've finally made an account here. My handle on twitter is @fMRI_today. Looking forward to contributing here!

I'm looking for a dataset that includes neural population activity recorded during both training and test phases of a classical conditioning task. Any suggestions?

While it’s *deeply* unfashionable to be publishing in @elife.bsky.social right now - do humour us for advertising a study that was several years in the making (submitted way back when it was still possible for reviewers to reject us!). We’re rather proud of it.🧵👇 elifesciences.org/articles/82823

Another important analyses showing how misleading it is to rely only on evidence published in scientific journals. A majority of negative trials wasn't published or was spinned. This time about benzos for panic disorder. Situation now better bc of trial registration www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

We're hiring a Communications & Outreach Manager, at Our World in Data! I can confirm the team is wonderful to work with, and we'd love to have someone who can expand our audience and get our work in front of the right people. Details here: ourworldindata.org/communicatio... Please share :)
