Human Connectome Project is an NIH-funded open science project to map connections in the human brain 🧠 across the lifespan.

Come join us in the next phase of the HCP! Immediate opening for a postdoc in the Adult Aging Brain Connectome (AABC) project under David Van Essen and Matt Glasser. Please spread the word!

HCP-Young Adult 7T imaging data for 184 subjects now available in our S3 bucket through the AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program! registry.opendata.aws/hcp-op…
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.

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So my R21 that is supposed to be reviewed in less than 2 weeks was WITHDRAWN due to the inclusion of hyperlinks in my Biosketch and RS (including linking to GitHub and bioRxiv preprints).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!

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!

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!
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
