Learn more about:

  • HIRN Resources: How to enter a new resource or search existing resources in the Resource Browser *
  • How to get an RRID for a resource (required by Cell Press journals and others) *
  • How to make your protocols more widely available on protocols.io *
  • How to Dockerize your pipeline/application for more reproducible code *
  • FAIR: Is your research FAIR? Get suggestions on how to make your output more FAIR
  • How to make your data more FAIR by depositing in Zenodo *
  • Social Media: Learn how to self-promote your research and/or lab
  • And any other HIRN-related questions you may have!

*  “How to” work best if you bring your specific resource (code, data, protocol) to discuss
