Metascience
I'm interested in reforming the way that science is done, in particular making it more open and collaborative. To that end, I have been involved in the following initiatives:
- I co-founded Neuromatch and SNUFA, two non-profit organisations that enable low or zero cost access to parts of the scientific process that are often too expensive for outsiders, such as conferences and summer schools.
- I made the complete notes and videos for my computational neuroscience course Neuroscience for machine learners freely available online.
- I write a blog with articles on science reform called Zavarka. I have also written editorials on how to improve the way we do science for The Transmitter.
- I withdrew all my voluntary labour from scientific publishers that use pre-publication peer review. See my statement on peer review here.
- I am trying to create a democratic and decentralised alternative to scientific publishing with Scholar Nexus.
- I ran an open collaborative computational neuroscience project COMOB Sound Localization which resulted in a paper (Ghosh et al. 2025). We may run this again in future under the COMOB name.
- I maintain a short list of free and open resources for learning computational neuroscience.
