+Talk/Paper Abstract
+
+
+Programming is becoming increasingly important to scientific activity.
+As its importance grows, the need for better software tools becomes more
+and more central to scientific practice. However, many fields of science
+rely on badly written, poorly documented, and insufficiently tested
+codebases. Moreover, scientific software packages often implement only the
+approaches and algorithms needed or promoted by the specific lab where the
+software was written.
+
+In this talk, I will illustrate this situation by discussing some of the
+weaknesses of the software ecosystem for neuroimaging analysis circa 2004.
+I will then describe how several of my colleagues and I are attempting
+to rectify this situation with a project called Neuroimaging in Python
+(http://nipy.org). Specifically, I will
+discuss the approach we've taken (e.g., using Python) and the lessons
+we've learned.
