    Jennifer is a Research Application Manager in the AI for Science and Government programme at the Alan Turing Institute, where she focuses on Digital Twins projects in Data-Centric Engineering and Urban Analytics. She is also a data scientist, with experience conducting R&D and creating applied AI products at startups such as Thresher and Numina, which acquired her first startup ParkIT. Her research interests lie in AI ethics and privacy by design, and she has a personal interest in small data projects and data visualisation.

    Working collaboratively with Book Dashers and artists from different countries! Contributing to a translation update was particularly cool, as this will make the Turing Way available to even more people around the world.

    I was thrilled when I first discovered The Turing Way and delighted to have the opportunity to contribute during the Nov 2021 Book Dash after attending Collaboration Cafes for about a year.
    I ended up working on a few different projects with multiple collaborators, but I think the highlight of the whole experience was brainstorming a visualization and then watching the Scriberia artist bring our idea to life!

    Johanna is a PhD candidate in computational neuroscience at the University of Melbourne, Australia and also an undergrad student in computer science at the University of Hagen, Germany. Johanna’s PhD projects focus on the identification of neuroimaging biomarkers for depression in large structural neuroimaging data using a machine learning  brain charting method. She also works on developing additional methods to make those analyses more reproducible by compensating for  biases caused by hard- and software differences in neuroimaging scanners. Johanna is also secretary of the open science group of the [Organisation for Human Brain Mapping](https://ossig.netlify.app/#OSSIG_team) and she has helped organise [brain-related hackathons in Australia and Asia](https://brainhack-aus.github.io/global2021/)
highlights: |
    working collaboratively via Zoom, the discovery of the cuckoo clock (already introduced to my lab), meeting people from all over the world and learning about their lives and what brought them to the Turing Way.

    I'm a senior research software engineer at The Alan Turing Institute.
    I studied chemistry at Durham University for my master's and PhD.
    I've been passionate about Linux and FOSS since being introduced to both in computational chemistry courses.
    On the Infrastructure Working Group, I help to manage and explain the technology that makes _The Turing Way_ work.

    Outside of _The Turing Way_ I contribute to Jupyter Book, All Contributors and help organise the FOSDEM Open Research Devroom.
highlights: >
    Being asked to join/found/co-lead the Infrastructure Working Group.
    It is great to know that your skills and thoughts are valued 🥹.

    I'm a senior research engineer from [INB](https://inb-elixir.es) coordination unit, [BSC](https://bsc.es), ELIXIR Spain. With an MSc in Computer Science, I have been working in bioinformatics since 1999, involved in very disparate projects over these years. Currently, I'm very involved in technical and scientific benchmarking, reproducibility and workflow execution abstractions, among other topics.
highlights: |
    I have enjoyed meeting so warm and dynamic community around The Turing Way!
    I have mostly contributed to reviewing open Pull requests and networking with the community members.

    Former neuro-geneticist (10 years of research on fruit fly memory and behaviour), I have been more recently interested in data analysis and management, as a specialisation for my interests in open science (open research). I am presently working on ways (technical and social) to implement the principles of FAIR and open data in the lab workflow and ways to foster collaboration between researchers via the SmartFigure Gallery project.
highlights: |
    Structure of the book and its RDM part, debugging figure views, content: version control for datasets + git for the whole research project data.

    I appreciate the welcoming and highly collaborative nature of The Turing Way Community. My experience of Book Dash was full of people ready to promptly advise/guide each other for any process-related queries. The social sessions like the meme-making workshop, Scriberia artist sessions, and the Share-outs on the event's last day were intriguing.

    I had initially intended to work on one of the `good-first-issues` of adding a colour palette to the Style Guide. However, during the Onboarding sessions, I met some people who also wanted to work on a topic that I was interested in. Working together helped us bring up a new chapter for 'Personal Websites' under the Guide for Communication. Team work is dream work!

    I hope to contribute more to the chapter through Collaboration Cafe or the upcoming Book Dash in 2025!
