A really cool #scicomm campaign brought to life by @agatapatyczek.bsky.social & friends. I'm really proud to be part of this. The amazing markusfaerber.de transformed our study on #XAI for #brain-age into a comic, which is now hanging all over the city of Leipzig. sciencestreets.de/comics/brain...

@agatapatyczek.bsky.social 📍A26 📆 Mar 9, 18:45 Is autonomic aging simply a story of progressive decline? 📉 We find a more complex picture: while age-related group patterns are evident, longitudinal individual trajectories vary a lot. Next step: is the locus coeruleus linked to these differences? 🔵🧠

Nick (@willenjoy.bsky.social) is obsessed with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). And for good reason! It could explain many results. Our simulation toolbox meegsim enables setting up SNR of individual sources as well as SNR of all signal sources with respect to all noise sources. meegsim.readthedocs.io

The Journal of Archaeological Science (JAS) now does a "reproducibility review" as part of the submission process: www.elsevier.com/connect/how-... If your manuscript mentions using an open source programming language, it will get this review, in addition to the normal peer reviews.

How reproducibility is gaining first-class status in scientific research

Ensuring research is reproducible is crucial to instilling confidence in research. Prof Ben Marwick talks about encouraging software and data sharing.
