With new funder requirements and the overall trends toward sharing, validating, and reusing scientific data, researchers are considering their data management practices. What are general data sharing best practices and resources that researchers use? In this webinar, panelists will share their recommendations, what’s worked for their labs, and challenges and pitfalls to consider. Attendees can submit questions at registration and during the webinar.
Speakers
Sam Nastase, PhD
Sam Nastase, PhD, is a research scholar and lecturer at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. He completed his PhD at Dartmouth College in Jim Haxby’s lab. The core question driving his research is, “How do we share our brain activity with one another?” His work combines deep learning and naturalistic neuroimaging to better answer these questions in real-world contexts. He also works to democratize scientific research by publicly sharing neuroimaging data.
Nick Pullen, PhD
Nick Pullen, PhD, is a professor of biomedical sciences at the University of Northern Colorado. His main research interests are in fundamental mast cell biology, the effects of complementary health practices on immune function (e.g, exercise effects on monocytes, NK cells, etc.), and physiology & immunology education. He received his BS in biology from James Madison University and his PhD in neurobiology from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). He completed his postdoctoral training in molecular immunology as an IRACDA fellow at VCU. While his research program moved into immunology since his postdoc, as a faculty member he still offers course content in neuroscience and as an editor handles papers in the field, particularly concerning primary CNS neoplasia. He is the current chair of the Education Committee of the American Association of Immunologists (AAI). Since 2021, he has been editor-in-chief of Data in Brief (Elsevier).
Tara Spires-Jones, DPhil, FMedSci
Tara Spires-Jones, DPhil (Oxon), FMedSci, is director of the Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences at the University of Edinburgh and the president of the British Neuroscience Association. Her research focuses on the mechanisms and reversibility of synapse degeneration in Alzheimer’s disease. Spires-Jones trained in biochemistry and French at the University of Texas at Austin as an undergraduate and earned a masters and DPhil from the University of Oxford supervised by Sir Colin Blakemore. She then moved to Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School for postdoctoral training with Bradley Hyman. In addition to her research, Spires-Jones is passionate about communicating scientific findings to the public and policy makers; increasing the rigour and reproducibility in translational neuroscience; promoting inclusivity and diversity in science; and supporting career development of neuroscientists.
Gail Rodney
Gail M. Rodney is a senior publisher for neuroscience within the Life Sciences & Social Sciences group at Elsevier. She has more than 25 years of publishing industry experience with emphasis on scholarly communication and innovation. Her current focus is open science, where she works with researchers, society partners, and peers to find better ways to ensure scientific research is not only more inclusive, collaborative, and transparent, but also accessible to all. Throughout her career she has held many roles and has been responsible for the launch and/or repositioning of a dozen peer-review titles. Rodney holds a BA in English and is an enthusiastic alumna of the State University of New York College at Old Westbury.
