SUMMARY:PiF Friday Café
DESCRIPTION:27th September at 13:00-14:00\nOn-site event\nin Medicity Semin
 ar Room\, BioCity\, 4th Floor\n\nDr. Pasi Kankaanpää\nScience from Anoth
 er Perspective: Career with Research Infrastructures\n\nWelcome to the nex
 t PiF Friday Café\, where you will hear about working in science from the
  research infrastructure perspective—and\, of course\, enjoy some coffee
  and pulla (first come\, first served)!\n\nPasi did his master’s at the 
 University of Jyväskylä\, specializing in 4D live cell confocal microsco
 py\, among the first in the Nordics. He did his PhD at the University of T
 urku\, developing BioImageXD\, open source software for bioimage analysis.
  The software was published in a 2012 special issue of Nature Methods that
  “defined” a new field of science\, bioimage informatics. After his Ph
 D\, Pasi focused on developing imaging research infrastructures. He was on
 e of the key persons in getting imaging organized in Finland\, and he mana
 ged the practical development of Euro-BioImaging up until its launch in 20
 19.\n\nEver since the beginning of his career\, Pasi’s aim has been to w
 ork for the benefit of the larger scientific community\, which has driven 
 him to develop research infrastructures that provide open access to anyone
  from both academia and industry. Today\, he is the head of biological ima
 ging at Turku BioImaging (www.bioimaging.fi&lt\;http://www.bioimaging.fi/&
 gt\;)\, where he leads a team producing open access image data analysis se
 rvices. He is the director of Euro-BioImaging Finland (www.eurobioimaging.
 fi&lt\;http://www.eurobioimaging.fi/&gt\;)\, consisting of the country’s
  top imaging facilities from 7 universities and 3 university hospitals\, a
 nd part-time senior scientific manager at the Euro-BioImaging internationa
 l headquarters (www.eurobioimaging.eu&lt\;http://www.eurobioimaging.eu/&gt
 \;).\n\nIn his talk\, Pasi will tell what it’s like to work with researc
 h infrastructures\, how they operate and why they exist. He will show how 
 incredibly rich the science is when done through open access provision\, a
 nd what kind of possibilities it brings with both companies and academics 
 around the world. He will also tell how developing something new has had i
 ts challenges\, for instance because the university ecosystems have troubl
 e adjusting. He will also highlight how research infrastructures today are
  changing the way science is done\, how they are leading to the birth of a
  new type of academic professionals\, and what kind of career opportunitie
 s they provide.\n\nWelcome!
