Traditional wet labs are embracing data science as a tool for high throughput data analysis. However, synthesizing experimentalists with an effective data science strategy can be a difficult task due to differences in expertise, terminology, and workflow habits. We utilize Jupyter Notebook to effectively collaborate with experimentalists and integrate experimental and data science.
Objective: Demonstrate the effectiveness of well-designed, experimental data informed Jupyter notebooks for collaboration between data scientists and experimantalists.
Central Thesis: Jupyter notebook is an approachable platform to support collaboration between trained data scientists with expert domain scientists in neuroimaging.
