As the discussion around harassment in academia (sexual and otherwise) is increasing, we learn that it is not healthy, definitely not rare and not reported as often as it happens. While thinking of various solutions to prevent or reduce its occurrence, I had been contemplating on the possibility and effectiveness of banning (or minimizing) alcohol …
News: slides and photos from this course are now posted here. I am very delighted to announce that our proposal for educational workshop titled "Taking Control Of Your Neuroimaging Data: Understanding Artefacts And Quantifying Quality" has been accepted for inclusion in the program for the 2019 OHBM Annual Meeting. Stay tuned for slides and related …

TL;DR: New visitors from survey broadcast: fill the survey here. Thanks.Quality control of neuroimaging data is hard, needs purpose-built tools and standardizationThere is a need for development of best practices and QC protocolsWe formed a new special interest group (SIG) @ INCF called Neuroimaging Quality Control (niQC)Join us in the google group to stay tuned, …
TL;DR Summary: News: my talk at PyCon Canada 2018 summarizing my thoughts for the broader context of research software development is available here. Python and its ecosystem are ideal for neuroinformatics, and we must try to get all the essential and established techniques implemented in pure python Community efforts (for testing & validation) must be …
This is an enormous effort with great potential for helping bioinformaticians in their research.
Reports of unintended consequences due to machine learning have been greatly exaggerated!
Repeat after me, open science is better science! I believe that, and in that spirit, I am starting to do my best to move the peer review process to open forums when possible (authors permitting of course). Here is the first one on a preprint titled: "The ANTs Longitudinal Cortical Thickness Pipeline" posted on biorxiv. My comments are …
