Neurosalience #S6E14 - Preview of OHBM 2026
<p>We sit down with four of the people who made OHBM 2026 happen to get the inside scoop on what to expect! Joining us are Christian Beckman (Program Chair-Elect), Nicola Palomero-Gallagher (Program Chair), Rosanna Olsen (Education Chair), and Michel Thiebaut de Schotten (Local Organizing Committee Chair). With 2,500+ neuroscientists descending on Bordeaux, France from June 14–18, this year's meeting is shaping up to be a big one. We dig into the sessions, keynotes, awards, and why Bordeaux is such a perfect backdrop for the conference — plus great tips for getting the most out of your time there and the newly improved meeting app to help you plan your schedule. Whether you're heading to Bordeaux or just curious about what's in store, this one's a great listen!</p><p><br></p><p>We hope you enjoy this episode!</p><p><br><strong>Chapters:</strong></p><p>00:00 - Introduction to OHBM 2026</p><p>05:21 - The Success of OHBM: Community and Content</p><p>10:05 - Methods and Applications in Neuroimaging</p><p>15:28 - Educational Courses: Structure and Selection</p><p>18:37 - Keynote Speakers and Program Design</p><p>23:56 - Symposia vs. Roundtable Discussions</p><p>30:50 - Brain Hacks: Collaborative Innovation</p><p>32:40 - Choosing the Right Venue for Conferences</p><p>37:17 - Exploring Bordeaux: A City of Wine and Culture</p><p>38:48 - Challenges in Conference Planning</p><p>46:35 - The Future of Poster Presentations</p><p>54:24 - Awards and Recognition in the Community</p><p>58:28 - Enhancing Conference Value and Engagement</p><p>01:02:02 - Social Aspects of the Conference</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.humanbrainmapping.org/OHBM2026/"><u>https://www.humanbrainmapping.org/OHBM2026/</u></a></p><p><br><strong>Episode producers:</strong></p><p>Xuqian Michelle Li<br></p>

Neurosalience #S6E13 with Kristin Ozelli - The Transmitter: Connecting the scales of neuroscience
<p>“The Transmitter is trying to cover the whole waterfront…”</p><p><br></p><p>Kristin Ozelli is the Executive Editor of The Transmitter, a neuroscience publication supported by the Simons Foundation that launched in 2023. In this conversation, Peter and Kristin explore what makes The Transmitter tick. At its heart, the publication is driven by a conviction that neuroscience is most powerful when its many scales, modalities, and subfields are in conversation with each other, and that good science journalism can provide the intellectual scaffolding to make that happen. They discuss the editorial process behind the scenes, from morning story meetings and house style guides to multiple rounds of editing, and how scientist-written essays are helping fill the void left by the decline of science Twitter. The conversation also touches on The Transmitter's ambitious State of Neuroscience mapping project, the ongoing tension between a fragmenting field and the hunger for greater integration, and what it means to portray science as a genuinely human endeavor. They close with thoughts on AI in science writing, exciting new tools and resources coming to the site, and how publications like The Transmitter might help rebuild trust between scientists and a skeptical public.</p><p><br></p><p>We hope you enjoy this episode!</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Chapters:</strong></p><p>00:00 - Introduction to the Transmitter and Its Mission</p><p>05:49 - Kristin Ozelli’s Journey to Neuroscience Journalism</p><p>08:29 - The Transmitter's History and Evolution</p><p>11:03 - Finding the Sweet Spot in Neuroscience Communication</p><p>16:19 - Mapping Neuroscience: The State of Neuroscience Project</p><p>23:22 - Engaging the OHBM Community and Beyond</p><p>30:07 - The Evolution of Scientific Communication</p><p>33:45 - Public Perception of Science</p><p>40:22 - Future Directions for Transmitter</p><p>47:15 - The Role of AI in Journalism</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><p>14:20 - The State of Neuroscience <a href="https://www.thetransmitter.org/state-of-neuroscience-report-2025/"><u>https://www.thetransmitter.org/state-of-neuroscience-report-2025/</u></a><br></p><p><strong>Episode producers:</strong></p><p>Karthik Sama, Xuqian Michelle Li</p>

Neurosalience #S6E12 with Oscar Esteban & Mallar Chakravarty - Registered reports: Better science or just more overhead?
<p>"Registered reports foster clarity upfront…"</p><p><br /></p><p>Dr. Oscar Esteban is a professor at Lausanne University Hospital whose lab develops open neuroimaging infrastructure, best known for tools like fMRIPrep and MRIQC. Dr. Mallar Chakravarty is Director of the Brain Imaging Center at the Douglas Research Centre at McGill University and co-editor-in-chief of Aperture Neuro.</p><p><br /></p><p>In this conversation, Peter, Mallar, and Oscar unpack what registered reports are and why they emerged as a response to the file drawer problem and publication bias toward positive results. Drawing on Oscar’s firsthand experience using registered reports in his own lab, the discussion explores how front-loading peer review can sharpen experimental design, protect researchers pursuing high-risk science, and give trainees meaningful early career credit. But the conversation doesn’t shy away from harder questions: Can any publication mechanism truly fix an incentive-driven culture? Where does the natural, iterative cycle of exploratory science fit in? And are registered reports the right tool for every type of science or just some of it?</p><p><br /></p><p>We hope you enjoy this episode!</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Chapters:</strong></p><p>06:12 - Understanding Registered Reports</p><p>10:48 - The Origin and Motivation Behind Registered Reports</p><p>15:03 - Concerns and Challenges of Registered Reports</p><p>21:08 - Exploratory vs. Confirmatory Research</p><p>30:50 - The Role of Registered Reports in Training Researchers</p><p>42:15 - The Role of Pre-registration in Scientific Rigor</p><p>53:59 - The Systemic Challenges in Scientific Publishing</p><p>01:06:29 - Concluding Thoughts on Registered Reports</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><p>01:02:37 - About PCI Registered Reports - Peer Community In <a href="https://rr.peercommunityin.org/about" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rr.peercommunityin.org/about</a></p><p><br /><strong>Episode producers:</strong></p><p>Xuqian Michelle Li</p>
