- The sessions on the DANDI archive and NWB format and accessible analysis tools were extremely helpful and made the tools fairly easy to use considering how powerful they are. The organizers and presenters did a great job breaking down complex topics and were really approachable and helpful throughout. Plus, getting to meet people from all over with similar interests was great. Big thanks to everyone who put this together – it was educational and fun.
