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:

Exclusive: NIH extends jobs of three neuroscientists on unpaid leave The change averts termination for the three neuroscience lab heads, who were set to be let go tomorrow.

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.

Characterising ongoing brain aging from cross-sectional data "Brain age delta" is the difference between age estimated from brain imaging data and actual age. Positive delta in adults is normally interpreted as implying that an individual is aging (or has aged)...

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.

AFNI Bootcamp, Part 2: Jan 29-31, 2025 (Virtual) We are pleased to announce a new AFNI Bootcamp, taking place Jan 29-31, 2025. Registration is free and open to both NIH and non-NIH researchers. The course is aimed at people who have some familiarit...

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:

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

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?

Controlled burns, mega fires, and public service now I haven't been writing here since I started my substack. I hope you'll consider following my newsletter over there.

When Does Science Self-Correct? Lessons from a Replication Crisis in Early 20th Century Chemistry Guest post by Paul von Hippel (Univ. of Texas)

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...
