Abstract As the global health crisis unfolded, many academic conferences moved online in 2020. This move has been hailed as a positive step towards inclusivity its attenuation of economic, physical, and legal barriers effectively enabled individuals from groups that have traditionally underrepresented to join participate. A number studies outlined how moving made it possible gather more community increased opportunities for with various constraints, e.g., caregiving responsibilities. Yet,...
Brainhack is an innovative meeting format that promotes scientific collaboration and education in open inclusive environment. Departing from the formats of typical workshops, these events are based on grassroots projects training, foster reproducible practices. We describe here multifaceted, lasting benefits Brainhacks for individual participants, particularly early career researchers. further highlight unique contributions can make to research community, contributing progress by...

Neuromatch Academy designed and ran a fully online 3-week Computational Neuroscience summer school for 1757 students with 191 teaching assistants working in virtual inverted (or flipped) classrooms on small group projects. Fourteen languages, active community management, low cost allowed an unprecedented level of inclusivity universal accessibility.
We present Queer in AI as a case study for community-led participatory design AI. examine how and intersectional tenets started shaped this community's programs over the years. discuss different challenges that emerged process, look at ways organization has fallen short of operationalizing principles, then assess organization's impact. provides important lessons insights practitioners theorists methods broadly through its rejection hierarchy favor decentralization, success building aid by...
Abstract Background Dementia screening tools typically involve face-to-face cognitive testing. Indeed, this introduces an increasing burden on the clinical staff, particularly in low-resource settings. The objective of our study is to develop integrated online platform for efficient dementia screening, using a brief and cost-effective assessment. Methods We used Longitudinal Ageing Study India dataset (LASI-DAD, n=2528) predict diagnosis based Clinical Rating (CDR). Using feature selection...
