The Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s (ASAP) initiative’s Open Science Champions are awarded to labs or individuals within the ASAP Collaborative Research Network (CRN) who have demonstrated a strong commitment to open science in their work to advance Parkinson’s disease research.
Open Science Champions typically exemplify one of the following personas:
Goes above and beyond to make data, lab resources, protocols, code, and analysis scripts openly available, enabling others to replicate and build upon their work
Values community-based research infrastructure to increase transparency, interoperability, and the long-term sustainability of science, while encouraging the use and development of open source software code and tools, community consensus standards, and new data infrastructure that addresses unmet needs
Teaches other researchers about open science approaches and tools, while encouraging training and education as a critical tool for making science open and accessible
Dedicated to implementing the ASAP Open Science Policy and exemplifying the ethos of open science, publishing in open access journals, depositing preprints early, and going above and beyond to ensure their work reflects open science best practices
Team Wichmann is recognized as an Open Science Champion for demonstrating exemplary open science practices throughout their involvement in the Collaborative Research Network (CRN). The preprints, datasets, code, and protocols associated with all seven of Team Wichmann’s publications to date have been 100% in compliance with ASAP Open Science Policy, making their science open and accessible to all researchers.
Eddy Albarran, PhD, has been the driver of data sharing for Team Surmeier, publishing all data and code as soon as it is in the proper sharing format. Outputs from his recent publication were shared in multiple repositories, including DANDI, Brain Image Library, and Zenodo. Eddy’s collaborations with other groups have led to investigators outside of ASAP to ask about resource sharing and open science practices.
Chuyu Chen, PhD, a postdoc on Team Awatramani, is recognized as an ASAP Open Science Champion for sharing four image datasets from her recent preprint on the BioImage Archive. Three of Chuyu’s uploads are confocal microscopy images, and one is composed of images from a 3D-SIM microscope. These uploaded images allow other CRN members to access novel data.

Anne-Caroline Martel, PhD, and Damien Pittard, MSc (Team Wichmann), are recognized as Open Science Champions for sharing an extensive dataset with the Distributed Archives for Neurophysiology Data Integration (DANDI) in the Neurodata Without Borders (NWB) format. Anne-Caroline and Damien implemented an Inscopix platform in their home lab that enabled independent data formatting, bypassing the need for external software or data management tools.
ASAP recognizes individuals and labs that have been nominated by their peers as Network Spotlights for their outstanding contributions to ASAP’s mission. Together, we are accelerating the pace of discovery for Parkinson’s disease through collaboration, research-enabling resources, and data sharing.
