Goal is to improve detection of focal epilepsy lesions, and biomarkers of neurodevelopmental impairment,  mental health.  Work will contribute to ongoing open science efforts for @DevelopingHCP @HumanConnectome and #UKbiobank. DM or email with any questions.

Also a tidy demonstration of the plight of women in science, and women in general. @LOrealFWIS

Thanks for supporting all these projects and the community @NeuroDebian!
Just to dispel any suspicion: we are busy quiet but alive. Last months updates: connectome-workbench (from @HumanConnectome), neo, stimfit, heudiconv, @datalad, etc. Remember also that all docker images come with nd_freeze to optionally make them reproducible!
This also happens on big team projects. Transparency in everyone's contributions to the complicated work of science is extremely important to the often weird career paths of scientists.
I work very hard to say “NAME who I work with on PROJECT”. And it backfires sometimes because people think I’m more junior than I am.... but I figure for the folks I line manage / mentor avoiding that phrasing of “you belong to me” is worth it!
Classic case of @NIHFunding being behind the times in technology and not interested in the user experience..... The "Users" are hard working research scientists that have literally spent MONTHS putting together a research proposal that MAY get funded 10% of the time. . . .
So my R21 that is supposed to be reviewed in less than 2 weeks was WITHDRAWN due to the inclusion of hyperlinks in my Biosketch and RS (including linking to GitHub and bioRxiv preprints). Looks like I can either appeal and/or resubmit the app June 16. Advice? #academicnightmare

ICYMI.... QuNex is Publicly Released! QuNex is a containerized platform for HCP Pipelines, Connectome Workbench (wb_view/wb_commend) and other helpful software. Check it out! humanconnectome.org/article/…
..... or proof of the supernatural???
QuNex, the environment we now use for all HCP processing, is finally out in the wild!!!! Cheers to @MBLab_ULJ @AnticevicLab!! 🎉🍾🍻
QuNex is officially available for public release! Version 0.90.6 is now available in source code and container formats. To access QuNex, please register at qunex.yale.edu/qunex-registr…. Developed by @AnticevicLab, @MBLab_ULJ, and @johndmurray Lab.

OMG, @fmrib_karla, I cannot agree more! I'm totally going to print this one out and hand it to our Senior Technician, Erin Reid... Erin is the amazing person behind the gold standard anatomical & structural surface QC for HCP. She's been DVE's tech for 20 yrs! #SupportNeuroTechs
This one is close to my heart. Whatever you call them - staff scientists, core support, research technicians - many labs fall apart without them. Academia's failure to appropriately recognise, develop and support them takes a toll. Stand up for techs - they make you look good!

Wow. Just wow.
I heard 2 undergrads taking about their research assistantships, they agreed that they don't really like doing research, but it's just something they have to do to get into a PhD program... They are going to be so disappointed when they learn what a PhD is #AcademicChatter
