#GradSchool folks and future #GradStudents:
I started a list of US #PhD programs that *guarantee* full rotation support for students who need to switch labs. This is an important #inclusion, retention, and equitymeasure.
To add a program, reply to this post or add a comment to the GSheet at the following link. Let's make this a standard feature of PhD training! 👊

Hey #NeuroscienceMigration and #Neuroscience folks! I'm presenting pain relief (opioid, Hsp90, and phospholipase C-focused) research at #SfN22 / #SfN2022 in 2 poster sessions! I'm really excited for my very first SfN & this will be my first poster since switching to a new lab earlier this year. Put me in your itinerary! ✨ Let's network and have a couple dozen cups of coffee!

Saturday: 6:30-8:30pm L1 TPDA Trainee Professional Development Award session
Wednesday: 3-4pm 711.03 Opioids/Pain

Here's the link to my abstract:
https://abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/10619/presentation/65376

Investigating the role of phospholipase C in enhancing opioid pain relief during Hsp90 inhibition

Session Title: Opioids and Pain
Presentation Number: 711.03
Presentation Time: Wed Nov. 16, 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

I #KnitMyPhD! Asteroid impacts, molten metal and 4.5 billion year old space rocks - you can read all about it in our recently published article 1/3

Keeping my tradition of painting octopuses on the bottoms of tables in hotel rooms alive 😀

If you think I'm following you and then get another notification, let me introduce you to my FAT. THUMBS. I've been looking through my followers and keep unfollowing.

Hi #neurodon! I want to learn more about experiments in rodents about model free vs model based behavior. Any suggestions for great papers/reviews on this broad topic would be appreciated! #neuro #neuroscience

Ok I guess this is what one does with #TwitterMigration to reforming #neuroscience #neurodon communities—an intro:

Hi! I’m interested in circuit development from a cellular / systems perspective, particularly neuron-glia and brain-body interactions. For my PhD, I used imaging to study (1) myelination and (2) NMDAR activity in circuit development and refinement.
Currently I’m figuring out “what next” while doing #scicomm. Check out my projects <https://linktr.ee/zahraa.chorghay> and connect!

Alvin popping in to say hi #MedMastodon!

Intro time. Hi #sciencemastodon - I'm Co-Founder of the #preprint servers bioRxiv & medRxiv at Cold Spring Harbor Lab, where I also oversee CSH Perspectives and other #publishing projects. I trained as a molecular biologist. My goal is to improve science communication.

Learn more about bioRxiv at https://doi.org/10.1101/833400 - and on the podcast https://tinyurl.com/y8rbttwz

I'm also interested in promoting understanding of different career paths for academics. More at https://tinyurl.com/4papvn5z

First toot #ScienceMastodon

I am a #devbio Group Leader at the Babraham Institute. 🐭⌛️👤⏳

Likely to highlight papers on dev bio. Specially timing, stem cells and mammalian #development.

Sometimes I post about research culture, academic progression and women in science

Trying to keep up in SMM as twitter has been useful so far.

By way of #introduction, I’m another new migrant, trying to understand the culture here & looking forward to not finding a #hostileenvironment. My #STEM career mostly spent in #breastcancer #genetics but increasingly working on #psychology behind #abuseculture. I battle #fatigue & #brainfog due to #autoimmunity thus also keen to tackle #LongCovid. I practise #art (watercolour) & ride a #tricycle to look after my own #mentalhealth & also follow #ukpolitics since it’s currently such a mess.

Hey, if you want to be "verified" on the fediverse as being _actually you_, you don't need some third party to verify you or to check some list.

Got a domain you own, that's obvs you?

Paste `<a rel="me" href="https://your.server/@your_username">Mastodon</a>`into the html on that domain, add that domain to your profile links, bam, verified at least as comprehensively as a lot of folks on birdsite.

If this seems hard, I will help you! You can verify yourself, promise!

(boosts for reach a-ok)

A relevant blog post for this Mastodon platform: 'The "palaeontological folklore" of mastodon hair': an essay about the surprising LACK of fossil evidence for brown, shaggy hair in these elephant-like creatures. It turns out that there's no reason to assume mastodons were mammoth-like in appearance, and the brown, hairy mastodons you see everywhere are a #paleoart super-meme.
