Welcome @pandorahancock 👋

Good place to start: the [OSDR Visualization Dashboard](https://visualization.genelab.nasa.gov/data/). Filter Material type to Brain and you get 41 datasets, and widening to eye, spinal cord and other CNS-adjacent tissues turns up more. Pair those with cabin conditions from the [Environmental Data App](https://visualization.osdr.nasa.gov/eda/) and you have environment-to-biology data you can model.

For the SI and complex systems side, the [Causal Inference subgroup](https://awg.osdr.space/t/causal-inference-sub-group-2025/1720) in the SI/ML AWG is the closest match to what you describe. @NateA leads it with @james.casaletto and @anna.lewkowicz, so start with them. Everything else lives in the [subgroup table](https://awg.osdr.space/t/how-to-be-involved-master-table-of-open-sub-group-projects/1233).
