Open for (Neuro)Science: Tutorials and Symposium
March 8, 2021 - 8:00 am - March 10, 2021 - 12:30 pm
For almost 20 years, the Allen Institute for Brain Science has accelerated our understanding of how the brain works in health and disease through its unique big, team and open science approach. The public data and resources available at brain-map.org are used by tens of thousands of scientists globally each year. In collaboration with the Allen Institute’s Next Generation Leaders, we bring you a scientific symposium spotlighting our current efforts: to build a “periodic table” of brain cell types, map neural connectivity, and understand and model neuronal activity.
The program will feature the latest findings by Allen Institute scientists as well as researchers across the field who use Allen Institute data or tools for their work. Each day of the symposium will culminate with hands-on tutorials to learn how to get started with finding, accessing, and analyzing selected open resources available at brain-map.org and why those resources may be useful for your research. Leading up to the symposium, join us for more tutorial webinars leading up to the symposium to learn how and why to integrate additional open resources into your research.
This event is geared towards working scientists at the undergraduate, graduate, postdoc, staff scientist, and faculty levels, including those in both academia and industry.
