Do you run or actively contribute to a reproducibility or open science initiative?

Join our virtual brainstorming event on "How to build, grow and sustain a reproducibility or open science initiative" (Nov. 22-23) to share your experiences. We'll discuss challenges and opportunities, explore solutions, and compile lessons learned to share with the research community.

All are welcome, including early career researchers from around the world.

🚨 BIG DATA RELEASE 🚨 We are beyond excited to announce the release of our Brain Wide Map of neural activity during decision making! It consists of 547 Neuropixel recordings of 32784 neurons across 194 regions of the mouse brain 🐭🧠

All these recordings were performed in a distributed fashion in 12 different labs, spanning Europe and the US 🌎 Rigorous standardization of methods and materials allowed us to pool the data from these labs together into a single gigantic dataset 🐙

Mice are performing our standardized perceptual decision-making task in which they have to position a stimulus in the center of a screen to receive reward. The dataset contains the stimuli and decisions, but also videos from three angles and DeepLabCut pose information. We're even releasing all the raw ephys data!

We know, it's a lot. At your own pace you can read all the details about the experimental setup, the task, processing of the data, and much more in the technical paper which accompanies this data release: https://figshare.com/articles/preprint/Data_release_-_Brainwide_map_-_Q4_2022/21400815

To explore the data at your leisure, visit our visualization website where you can scroll through different recording sessions, look at neural activity during example trials, and see trial-based activity of single neurons: https://viz.internationalbrainlab.org

Do you have itchy fingers to run your models on this humongous dataset? We totally get it! Here you can find how to download the data using our API so you can fire up those computing clusters: https://int-brain-lab.github.io/iblenv/notebooks_external/data_release_brainwidemap.html

This was a collective effort of our stellar team, who all put in so much work to make this monumental achievement possible. Our collaboration consists of 22 PIs, 37 researchers, and 11 staff members who all worked tirelessly to bring these data to you, the community 👏🍾

In v4, there is now a profile directory. This is a great feature to discover people on the server!

IL-17D has always been the more obscure member of this #cytokine family. Turns out, like its siblings, it may also contribute to pathological #skin #inflammation. #psoriasis https://www.nature.com/articles/s41590-022-01339-3?utm_source=ni_etoc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=toc_41590_23_11&utm_content=20221115

#introduction I am a staff scientist at Pasteur Institute in Paris where I study viruses using structural biology approaches, X-ray crystallography and now expanding to cryo-EM. I'm especially curious about the ancient viruses that like to linger and co-evolve with us #herpesviruses #foamyviruses #ERVs, and what we can learn from them in terms of entry mechanisms and origins of the proteins involved in entry. I also like to follow how deep learning methods can help structural biology.

Thank you @gyamey and Abraar Karan. Why Masks Still Matter.

#introduction
Hi, I am working in #immunology in #brazil . Our lab focuses in development of #immunotherapy in #cancer and #viruses, especially #Immunooncology to help bring these therapies to all patients of the public health system.
We are hiring #postdocs and #graduate students.
Also, we always have #chocolate and #coffee in the office; and we are among the friendliest hardworking nerds you wilk EVER meet. Come join us!
