Foundations of Biomedical Data Science Virtual Seminar Series - Toward a Culture of Computational Reproducibility

Ensuring that the results of data analysis are both valid and reproducible is a fundamental responsibility of every data scientist, but both are increasingly difficult in the context of complex analysis workflows and big data.

Building off of ideas from software engineering, Russell A. Poldrack, PhD will argue that we need to embrace a culture of computational reproducibility. Poldrack will outline a set of values that motivate this work and principles that guide the work, and then focus on a set of practices that can help improve reproducibility in computational data science. Poldrack will conclude by addressing some potential concerns about the impacts of this cultural shift, particularly for early career researchers.

Foundations of Biomedical Data Science Virtual Seminar Series - Assemble Global Neural Networks of the Mouse Brain

The biological significance of assembling this global wiring diagram of the brain is tantamount to that of the Human Genome Project. However, just as knowing the sequence of three billion base pairs in the human genome reveals little about how our bodies are regulated by genes, constructing the connectome will not directly reveal its functional purpose. The ensuing challenge is to analyze the vast connectivity information in a way that is most conducive to generating new behavioral hypotheses for direct testing.

In his talk, Hongwei Dong, MD, PhD will present the progress of the NIH BRAIN Initiative funded Mouse Connectome Project in assembling global neural networks of the whole mouse brain. His research focuses on constructing a multi-scale wiring diagram and cataloging cell types of the mouse brain.
