Both Sino Biological and the Antibody Registry are displaying the RRIDs so scientists can consistently find these identifiers, required by many scientific journals for publication.Mon, 18 Jan 2021 12:03:12 -0800https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/2155https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/2155Like everything else these days, the NEURON course this year is going virtual.

This sounds really good, but it does create a bit of a mess with your latest abstract submission and your 4 versions of a zenodo dataset mucking up the &#34;most recent&#34; works section.&nbsp;Wed, 04 Nov 2020 09:11:18 -0800https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1881https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1881Ever wondered why ORCID only has papers and abstracts? Ever made a bunch of antibodies and really wanted to share them with your colleagues? The Antibody Registry and ORCID are now integrated enabling data about antibodies you have made to be shared with ORCID (if you so desire). To get started, please login on the Antibody Registry and click the ORCID button under your account to get credit for the antibodies you have created! http://antibodyregistry.org/myaccountWed, 19 Jun 2019 12:30:12 -0700https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1697https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1697We are sure that you have seen the press stating that many of the cell lines used by scientists are actually bad. They can be misidentified (someone at some point put the wrong label on a vial), contaminated (someone sneezed), or over grown by other cells (in the immortal words of Oprah in the immortal life of Henrietta Lacks,&nbsp;&#39;HeLa&#39;s coming after you&#39;).Tue, 29 Jan 2019 09:26:42 -0800https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1567https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1567Student travel awards for conference of your choice are available from the Science Gateway Community Institute.&nbsp;Tue, 08 Jan 2019 15:51:20 -0800https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1551https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1551On behalf of the Brain Cell Data Center (BCDC) team here at the Allen Institute, we’re very excited to announce the second public data release of the BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network!Thu, 20 Dec 2018 10:42:38 -0800https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1546https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1546You may be interested in RFA-RM19-001, released yesterday: Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions (SPARC): Anatomical and Functional Mapping of Pain-Related Visceral Organ Neural Circuitry&nbsp;https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/rfa-rm-19-001.html.&nbsp;Thu, 13 Dec 2018 08:43:25 -0800https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1492https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1492November 27 release of Version 7.6 of&nbsp;NeuroMorpho.Org, passed the landmark milestone of 100,000 publicly shared digital reconstructions.&nbsp;Fri, 30 Nov 2018 10:18:20 -0800https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1488https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1488Nature Research, which has updated the instructions to authors centrally to include RRIDs last month, requested that the RRID initiative include Addgene and both the RRID initiative as well as Addgene were more than happy to comply.&nbsp;Please see from Addgene discussing RRID persistent identifiers!Tue, 20 Nov 2018 13:08:59 -0800https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1483https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1483DataONE Webinar SeriesSchema.org:&nbsp;Improving&nbsp;access to data through a standardized languageAdam Shepherd, Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office&nbsp;Doug Fils,&nbsp;Consortium for Ocean LeadershipBryce Mecum, National Center for Ecological Analysis and SynthesisTuesday November 13th 0900 PT / 1000 MT / 1100 CT / 1200 ETFri, 09 Nov 2018 14:29:21 -0800https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1469https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1469The SfN meeting is just around the corner and the Yale NEURON team is holding one of the many great workshops around this event.&nbsp;Mon, 08 Oct 2018 09:15:36 -0700https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1138https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1138We’re pleased to announce the August 2, 2018 release of Version 7.5 of&nbsp;NeuroMorpho.Org, adding 9939 reconstructions from 31 new datasets.&nbsp;Mon, 06 Aug 2018 10:23:10 -0700https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1132https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1132The Resource Identification, RRID, Initiative began working with the BioSamples databases in the EU and US in order to identify the pancreatic islets used by researchers who are part of the Integrated Islet Distribution Program, IIDP. The BioSample SAM* identifiers contain no personally identifiable information, are fully open, and run on robust infrastructures of the US National Library of Medicine and the EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute, allowing projects such as the IIDP to quickly join the RRID initiative.Thu, 12 Jul 2018 10:54:18 -0700https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1131https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1131Title: High Performance Computing Resources for Parallel Simulations and DataAnalysis: NSG and HPACDate: Saturday, Nov. 3 from 9 AM to noon&nbsp;at downtown San Diego location.Wed, 11 Jul 2018 14:19:20 -0700https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1101https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1101British Pharmacological Society strongly recommends publications begin incorporating #RRID to methodological considerations enabling reproducibility of immunoblotting and immunohistochemical dataTue, 24 Apr 2018 11:13:03 -0700https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1099https://scicrunch.org/scicrunch/about/blog/1099The 2018 NEURON Summer Course will be held at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, from Monday, August 6, through Saturday, August 11.
