Hello everyone!
We are very excited to announce that this year's Brainhack DC will take place on December 10-12, 2021! However, we need your input for deciding between a fully virtual or a hybrid event with the in-person portion at Georgetown University. We invite researchers of all career stages (faculty, postdocs, students, postbaccs etc.) to visit our website, register for the event, and indicate your preference for the format of the event by November 12th: (https://brainhackdc.github.io/2021/). You can also access the registration form here. Registration will remain open until Dec 9th, but we will decide whether the event will be hybrid or fully online based on the preferences indicated by the majority of registrants on November 12th.
As a satellite event of the international Brainhack Global effort, Brainhack DC will occur on December 10-12, 2021. Please join the Brainhack community for this three-day event to work on projects to solve challenges in neuroscience, learn new skills, and make new connections along the way.
In contrast to conventional conferences (which are structured around the lecturer-audience paradigm), Brainhacks are designed to maximize interactions between all participants, allowing them to work in a highly collaborative manner throughout the event. Additional information about Brainhacks can be found in our recent publication in Neuron.
How does it work?
Brainhack DC 2021 welcomes project proposals related to neuroscience, including projects on reproducibility, equity/inclusivity, big data, machine learning, and neuroimaging preprocessing and analysis pipelines.
Participants are encouraged to propose their projects at this link and pitch their project ideas during the opening remarks.
After project pitches, all participants will choose a project to “hack” on. Brainhacking will occur for three days, during which you will have the opportunity to interact with and learn from others with a shared interest in neuroscience and open science.
Attendees can also participate in hands-on tutorial sessions throughout the event to learn how to use new research tools. Working sessions may be accompanied by small “unconferences” during which any participant can propose a pop-up discussion about any topic (related to projects or not).
After the Brainhack, you will have learned new skills, contributed to the sprouting of new projects and tools that will help advance neuroscientific research, and your group may want to submit outputs as a conference paper at Brainhack Proceedings.
Please forward this to anyone else who may be interested!
Best,
The Brainhack DC 2020 Organizing Team
