Q and A: Can We Preserve Our Brains After Death?

February 5, 2013

As promised, here’s the first-ever official Connectome Q&A! We’ve been getting lots of incoming questions on our Facebook and Twitter pages – some of them on the technical side; others of the more “general interest” variety. Most of these questions require pretty involved answers – and it’s important to me that each of them gets the full treatment it deserves.

So for today’s Q&A, I’ve decided to focus on just one question. That doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten the others, though – we keep everything archived, and we’ll be doing plenty more Q&As in the future. So keep sending those neuroscience queries and article requests our way.

Science Fights Back With Open Access

A major paradigm shift is taking the science world by storm. Open source is taking over.

For more than a century, scientists have depended on peer-reviewed journals to keep them up to date on the latest research. But as many of these journals have raised their subscription fees to bank-breaking levels, and locked life-saving research behind exorbitant paywalls, the gloves are finally coming off. Thousands of researchers are fighting back by boycotting publishers, submitting their papers to open-access journals like PLOS ONE and PNAS, and – most excitingly of all – making their datasets freely available online, for everyone.
