Highlights

The Neuro – Irv and Helga Cooper Foundation Open Science Prize!

Last night, I received one of the runner-up Trainee prizes from The Neuro – Irv and Helga Cooper Foundation! My application highlighted my Open Science work in France and the Netherlands. I’m super happy to have my efforts recognized internationally, and truly thankful to everyone who has supported me in this journey. A special shout to Fernando Santos, Linda Douw, and Cristina Lemos!🎉

The ANW OSWG snagged a spot at OLS cohort 8 & pocketed the VU challenge award!

The Open Science Working Group from the Anatomy and Neurosciences department hit the jackpot! We applied and were selected for the 8th cohort of the OLS training program. Drum roll, please! And what’s more exciting? We won a whopping 3K from the VU Challenge Award to work on our super-duper project: Crafting a Handbook for Open Science in Neuroscience 🎉🎉🎉

Clean & Readable Code @ EPFL

Last week, I had the great opportunity to give a workshop on how to write clean and readable code at the ORPER summer school at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). Furthermore, I participated in a panel discussion with Russ Poldrack, Zoltan Dienes, and Juliette Boscheron (event organizer & a good friend) about changing the research incentives toward Open Science values.

BordeauxTea @ Institut Pasteur!

Earlier this year, Fjola Hyseni and I were at Institut Pasteur for the Recherche Reproductible days to present our BordeauxTea (ReproducibiliTea journal club from the Bordeaux Neurocampus) and share our experience so far with Open Science in our Ph.D. The event focused on reproducibility in science and started assembling a French network for reproducible research. It was a great learning experience – thanks to the organizers for inviting us to participate and contribute to this discussion!
