@pierre_le_merre Welcome! I'm fairly new to the field and also mastodon so it's a fun time to network. I'll be at next week and can't wait!

#introduction

Hi, I am a postdoc in Marie Carlén’s lab studying prefrontal networks of the mouse. Lets see how this whole #neurosciencemigration works but happy to be here!

#Neuroscience #prefrontal

Love all the encouragement to create #accessible content, use #ContentWarnings, and follow community norms. Keep it coming!

It's still quite quiet here. I'm going to include some hashtags so I can find some people. I have #EDS #LongCovid, write about #disability and #theology. #ProgressiveChristian and I really like #Disney and #DisneyParks

. I'm a theoretical neuroscientist at Columbia University. Primary focus on cerebral cortical circuits, both mature function and activity-dependent development (a form of learning). More general interest in intelligence & learning, e.g. neuro/AI interface, as well as long-term goal of understanding how cortex computes and analyzes and represents and learns. Also passionate about politics, and will post about that too -- coming from a belief in justice, freedom, everyone having a right to a secure and decent life and opportunities to develop and advance themselves, and in true democracy -- one person one voice, not one dollar one voice.

Hello SciMastodon! Let’s neuroscience! This is my first post here so I put one of my favorite brains in the pic. Can you name the species?

Please do let me know how to follow all you neuroscience folks (and related scientists) so I can get in the conversation — just toot your handle at me! Did I use the that term correctly? 🤷‍♂️

@mnrajah I'll be there! It'll be my first SfN conference, and my first in-person conference since 2018. I am presenting my poster in two sessions. I'm extremely excited!!

#Neuroscience is growing fast as we speak!
🧠 💪
Just in time for #SfN
Let's do #SfN here!

For those of us who came from Twitter: here, clicking "favorite" is different from clicking "like" in Twitter. It just tells the writer "yeah, nice", without enhancing visibility. The only way to enhance visibility is to "boost" (basically, retweet). I suspect all this will change (different clients will have different algorithms, etc) but for now this is how it is...

@MatteoCarandini And here I was, thinking it was a bookmark function at first. 🤦‍♂️ We all start somewhere with learning new things, I suppose.

@toorsdenote @yuhline 👋 I too am neuro-spicy. Love the description in your bio. 😹

Hello! 👋🏽

I study the human brain and behavior. I love thinking about memory and perception and sharing papers on these topics.

I am also passionate about making academia a better place. The two most important things I have written:

My story of mental illness and the importance of mental health support: storiesinscience.org/2019/06/1

My article on how faculty can make labs more supportive for their students: nature.com/articles/d41586-018
