A month back, my master’s thesis received the Best Paper Award from the Brain Structure and Function editors. This prize is given to the best paper of the year and was handed to me at the Organization for Human Brain Mapping opening ceremony in Montreal, Canada!

Don’t miss the National Open Science Festival in Rotterdam on August 31st! I was personally involved in promoting this amazing event. Check it out here: opensciencefestival.nl/
In April, I had the opportunity to experience my first Open Science Retreat. It was a full week in a beautiful village by the lake, with many wonderful people and engaging conversations that broadened my horizons about my career and the Open Science movement. By the end of the week, we even developed a comprehensive syllabus to promote the implementation of Open Science in formal education. Feel free to explore it here: Open Science Education.
I was invited to represent the Open Science Communities in the Netherlands at the Dutch EOSC Tripartite meeting at SURF (Utrecht) earlier this year. Alongside other panelists, I advocated for the sustained funding of these communities to facilitate the implementation of Open Science practices in research. You can find more information about the event here.
In January, I had the fantastic opportunity to host part of the OSCAwards ceremony at SPUI25 last January and mediate a round table with great Open Science enthusiasts! At the event, I also received an award for my master’s thesis work under the ‘Open Educational Resources’ category. The project is available online on GitHub. Go MULTINET team!
My partner in crime, Fjola Hyseni, and I wrote a short letter about Open Science and our journey with it for the first edition of BrainStorm – the Neurocampus student journal! Check it out below:
Our Open Science Workgroup showcased its first poster at the National Open Science Festival, hosted at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands. This great event allowed us to connect with like-minded individuals and expand our network. Our poster even caught the attention of the VU Rector Magnificus!! Explore the festival highlights here & stay tuned for more updates as we continue promoting Open Science practices.
Back in 2016, I used to work with induced pluripotent stem cells with Dr. Bithell and (now Dr.) Pati, investigating models for neurodegenerative diseases. Our work was selected to be presented at the Oxford Dementia Research Day at the University of Oxford. I’m far from the wet lab nowadays, but I’m still very proud of that day! Here is some work that followed from this research: 2D versus 3D human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cultures for neurodegenerative disease modelling.
Presented my work at FENS 2022 in Paris, France.
