Interactive scientific presentations

Hosted slide decks on Home-Cage Monitoring, FAIR metadata, virtual control groups, and preclinical data infrastructure — each a versioned, citable artifact with source provenance.

All presentations

Hosted slide decks

Each presentation is a versioned package: a structured deck, source map, speaker notes, and optional interactive visualizations. Built from the Neuronautix knowledge base.

Research ethics · Animal welfare · 3Rs

The ethical debt of preclinical research — when poor data stewardship wastes animal lives

Damien Huzard, PhD 15 slides · 14 min

A 15-slide ethics deck on the fourth obligation beyond the 3Rs: care for the data. From the moral contract of animal use to publication bias as a welfare problem, the ~$28B reproducibility cost, born-FAIR metadata as the memory of the experiment, shadow data, and the prerequisite for virtual control groups — closing on a new default: no animal-derived data without context.

What the DVC measures — a metric-by-metric guide to Digital Ventilated Cage analytics

Damien Huzard, PhD 13 slides · 12 min

A rigorous, metric-by-metric guide to Tecniplast DVC® analytics. From one raw signal — capacitance change across an under-cage electrode grid — it derives and cites each metric: Activation Density and Distance Walked, the activity budget and rest/activity bouts, the Rest Disturbance Index (RDI), circadian parameters with per-cage LED, spatial preference/frontality, the Bedding Status Index, the Urination Index, and GYM500 wheel running — closing on dark-phase signal, environmental channels as biomarkers, and data repurposing for the 3Rs.

WellFAIR · COST TEATIME · FAIR + 3Rs + AI/VCG

WellFAIR — FAIR data, the 3Rs, and the road to AI/VCG

Damien Huzard, PhD & Benoit Petit-Demoulière 24 slides · ~45 min

COST TEATIME webinar deck arguing that FAIR data is the substrate that makes the 3Rs operational and the only credible road to AI-assisted research and Virtual Control Groups. Includes live demos of FAIR3R.fr and Metadatapp. Replay on the COST TEATIME YouTube channel; based on the WellFAIR paper (doi.org/10.1016/j.nsa.2026.106998).

fair.md & trust.md — manifests for FAIR data and epistemic trust

Damien Huzard, PhD 13 slides · 10 min

Two root-level Markdown files that make any repository's FAIR posture and epistemic confidence readable in five seconds — for humans and machines alike. Covers the five claim categories, the 0–100 confidence scale, lineage from llms.txt to ClaimReview, and real corpus stats (19 notes · 440 claims · avg trust 74).

SCAND-LAS 2026 · Metadata as a NAM

Metadata as a NAM — From Data Context to Virtual Control Groups

Damien Huzard, PhD 46 slides · PDF

Invited SCAND-LAS 2026 talk arguing that FAIR metadata should be treated as a New Approach Methodology in its own right — the substrate that turns isolated preclinical data into reusable evidence and credible virtual control groups.

After the knowledge graph — ontology-grounded LLMs, GraphRAG, and statistical discovery

Damien Huzard, PhD 12 min

18-slide sequel to the May 18 KG-architecture deck — distinguishing graph DB / KG / ontology / GraphRAG, separating evidence-ontology-application layers, calibrating GraphRAG against vanilla RAG, treating link prediction as ranked hypothesis, and running four experiments before any custom model.

NAMs & FAIR metadata

FAIR Metadata as a New Approach Methodology

Damien Huzard, PhD 10 min

FAIR metadata is the enabling infrastructure that turns isolated preclinical data into reusable, AI-actionable evidence for animal reduction and scientifically credible virtual control groups.

How it works

Presentation as code

Each deck is generated from the Neuronautix knowledge base, reviewed, and deployed as a versioned artifact. Source provenance, speaker notes, and claim citations travel with every slide.

  1. Step 1Knowledge base retrieval — relevant notes and sources identified
  2. Step 2Presentation brief — audience, duration, core message defined
  3. Step 3Slide outline and spec reviewed before generation
  4. Step 4Deck generated with inline citations and speaker notes
  5. Step 5Human review via pull request before publication
  6. Step 6Hosted at /presentations/slug/ with full source package
