Hello all! This Topic acts as a recap of some activity that occurred on Discourse over the month of June. If you’re new - the community management team will create these summaries each month to help you stay up to date with what’s happening in the community. To see roundups from previous months, click [here](https://rcop.michaeljfox.org/c/monthly-roundups/16).

One major addition we’d like to flag is that we have recently added the [ability to include your research interests on your Discourse profile](https://rcop.michaeljfox.org/t/adding-your-research-interests-to-your-discourse-profile/436/1). We hope this makes it easier to identify collaborators and subject matter experts! Please take a minute to add tags to your own profile.

**Notable Topics**

- @jodiefm [shared a downloadable video](https://rcop.michaeljfox.org/t/saa-data-in-ppmi-data-overview-video/452) he created which overviews how to access and use the Seed Amplification Assay (SAA) in PPMI.

- @mcbrumm posted about the recently released [PPMI Proteomics Curated Datasets](https://rcop.michaeljfox.org/t/newly-released-ppmi-proteomics-curated-datasets/455).

- @jgottesman announced that [Data Wrangling Guide is live on the MJFF site](https://www.michaeljfox.org/data-resources)! This guide is helpful for those who want to learn more information on four datasets: PPMI, GP2, AMP PD, and Fox Insight.
