EBRAINS postdoc and data curation scientist Ingvild E. Bjerke was presented with the King's Gold Medal at the University of Oslo’s annual celebration on 3 September 2022.
The King's Gold Medal - or Kongens Gullmedalje - is awarded to outstanding young researchers for scientific work assessed at the University of Oslo. Bjerke received the prize for her PhD thesis "Quantifying cellular parameters across the murine brain: New practices for integrating and analyzing neuroscience data using 3D brain atlases". The 3D atlases, tools, and workflows demonstrated in the thesis are developed through the Human Brain Project and available via the EBRAINS infrastructure.
“It is a great honour to receive the King’s Gold Medal for my PhD thesis. I see it as a recognition that the work I have done has contributed meaningfully to the field and that standards and workflows for more open procedures are being seen as important.”
