What is open science? 🤔

To celebrate #OpenScienceWeek, we're sharing why we give away our data, protocols, and resources to everyone.

Featuring our #openscience friends at @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social, NASA, @addgene.bsky.social, and NIH.

Happy birthday to us! 🥳

In 2003, we launched with just four employees in a small, rented laboratory working together towards a big goal - map the entire mammalian brain in a way the world had never seen.

✨ The Art of Open Science ✨

This beautiful crossstitch was created by Leah Blankenship, an undergraduate student at the @uoregon.bsky.social! This meticulously embroidered art uses data from our Allen Brain Reference Atlases.

It's the white whale of neuroscience - completely mapping the brain and its activity.

Forrest Collman sat down with @samanthayammine.com from the Curiosity Weekly podcast and shared how we are taking on this "impossible" task and the surprising role YouTube videos play.

Do you see a white square?

A new study, supported by our #OpenScope team, identified the key neural circuit and cell type involved with inferring details that don't exist in illusions like the one below.

Open science is more than just datasets. It's also opening access to scientific facilities and pipelines.

OpenScope allows researchers from around the world to pitch experiments to be run – at not cost to them – in the Allen Brain Observatory.

Immerse yourself in #OpenScience with these beautiful installations by Susana Igreja feat. our fluorescence microscopy videos of our cell lines!

The artist's goal was to help viewers explore the invisible dynamics that shape both cellular and human experience.

It's #OpenScienceWeek! Research can be expensive, competitive, and surprisingly hard to share. Paywalls, data barriers, and the race to publish have historically kept discoveries locked away. Open science is the movement to change that.

23 years ago today on Sept 16, 2003, we set out to build an open map of the brain & give it away free. Today we span cell science, immunology, neural dynamics, synthetic biology, AI biodesign, and more. For #OpenScienceWeek today, we're taking you inside the moments that made us.
