» #neuroscience has become so broad & technically sophisticated that individual researchers can no longer fully understand the technical foundations of their experiments.
@teixi This is an important read! And you have to give it to the author for walking the walk.
(Openephys’ Voigt). How can we make services accessible for the community? It is, as he notes, mostly tied to industry products.
Also this;
“Putting the reluctance of individual scientists aside, adopting a culture of expertise will also require some shifts in the field. The current funding and publishing system punishes specialization and undervalues technical expertise. For example, most published papers have one (or at best a few) first and last authors. As long as we hang on to the idea of singular intellectual ownership as the main currency in neuroscience, people are incentivized to shoulder as much of their own project as they can rather than spending significant time helping someone else’s. A more granular means for giving credit and attribution — one that acknowledges that neuroscience is a team sport — would improve scientific progress.”
