We celebrate Daisuke Kase as our June #OpenScience Champion. Daisuke contributed to the upload of #neurophysiology #datasets. Team Strick was the 1st CRN team to work with CatalystNeuro to upload a public dataset to the DANDI Archive and provide #tutorials to help other teams. Thank you, Daisuke! 🧪
We are excited to launch the ASAP CRN Cloud, a data-sharing #tool providing researchers worldwide with a unique collection of #datasets from postmortem-derived #brain samples. More data will be available, enabling unprecedented insights into #neurodegeneration. 🧪 Learn more: shorturl.at/qT6sk
