The era of brain observatories

Human Connectome Project (HCP), N = 1,200

Healthy Brain Network (HBN),  N = 10,000

Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD),
N = 10,000

UK Biobank,   N = 500,000

Opportunities

New data sets will enable important new discoveries

Data-driven discovery

Challenges

New methods and approaches are needed

New ways of collaboration

New sociotechnical arrangements

Scientific meetings are great

Scientific meetings are great

Don't you sometimes feel

Like the most valuable part are the coffee breaks?

A scientific meeting that is all coffee breaks!

The opposite of "open" is not "closed" ...

it's "broken" -- John Wilbanks

Open science

Open science

Reproducibility

Accessibility

Inclusivity

Diversity

Introspection

It's not a monolith

A matter of degree, not of kind

The plan

Week 1: Tutorials and lectures

Week 2: Hackathon

Week 1

Schedule: http://neurohackademy.org/neurohack_year/2019/

Python: an ecosystem for scientific computing

Free and open source

High-level interpreted language

Very wide adoption

Python in Astronomy (ADS)

Do neuroscientists use Python?

The weekend

By the time the weekend rolls around

we'll all need a break

There is a lot to see and do in Seattle during the summer

Week 2

Historically thought of as:

Week 2

Collaboration is not optional!

Be pro-active

Ask a lot of questions

Try something new

Find birds of a feather

Take some time off if you need it

Code of conduct

Now some of you might be thinking

"I don't belong here"

"I've never been to a hackathon"

"I am not even such a great programmer"

"And I don't know enough neuroscience to make a real contribution"

"When others find out, they won't want to work with me"

Thanks!
