Pistoia Alliance’s FAIR Maturity Assessment Tool
Jun 17 | Bio-IT World | Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) principles continue to hold an important place in data management and access, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) development, and data sharing between organizations. But FAIR is also complex to implement due to the original FAIR guidelines not being explicit and difficult to understand or visualize for non-experts. The FAIR community of experts with the Pistoia Alliance developed a self-assessment tool that can measure an organization’s FAIR maturity level. More -
Veteran ‘Lord of the Flies’ Takes a Crack at Addiction
Jun 12 | Bio-IT World | The brain of fruit flies and humans may be vastly different in size and complexity, but at the circuit level they are not all that different, according to a veteran fly geneticist who has spent much of his career trying to understand why humans abuse drugs. An interest in alcohol dependence segued to another major health problem, cocaine abuse disorder, which has some of the same genetic underpinnings. More -
