Libra-net (18): Four events and a preview

NeuroLibre Day, Europe Research Night, a French science exhibition, and a Science for Kids conference. Plus some exciting announcements coming in October!

1. Following the MRathon in Singapore, we are proud to support our second international event this year! On September 27, 100+ scientists will come to Montreal to witness the launch of NeuroLibre.org. NeuroLibre is a preprint server that hosts publications that integrate code, data and interactive figures. You can read here about the NeuroLibre’s potential to revolutionize academic publishing.
