Last month, I had a great time at the Institut Intelligence et données (Université Laval) in Canada, where I gave a talk entitled “The ‘why, what, and how’ of Open Science and its impact on my professional (and personal) journey.” The audience was super responsive and asked several great questions – what a pleasure it was to be there!
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!
A summary of the event can be found here (in French):

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.
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.
My great mentor, Fernando Santos, and I got to present our work at the Conference on Geometric Science of Information at the Sorbonne University in Paris, France. This occasion also led to a book chapter! (Sorry for the photo’s low quality, but that’s what we had available in COVID/Zoom times!)
