A little disappointed that we're using #AcademicMastodon. #AcademicFedi or #AcademicToots when #Macademia was RIGHT THERE.

Hello! A brief #introduction - I am an Asst Prof at Bocconi University (Italy) doing research in theoretical #neuroscience. My main interests are related to sensory representations: what are the underlying circuit mechanisms? how are they modulated by movement? what computational benefits do they provide? I combine theoretical modeling and data analysis. Lately, I have also been interested in integrating #connectomics in network modeling.

A Mastodon #introduction. I'm a #sociologist who studies #historical racial violence, with an emerging focus on multigenerational trauma and contemporary health outcomes. I'm currently our department's director of undergraduate studies.

PhD position in Manchester, UK (BBSRC DTP): The evolution of nerves: understanding the roots of neurodegeneration – training in evolution biology, biochemistry, expansion or electron microscopy, cell culture, genetics, #scicomm – supervision: Prokop/Allan/Ronshaugen

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like it's gigantic and destroying the town.

A ✅ has appeared in my profile. Hurrah for that. I think we have to realise that the learning curve here is steepish, but rather than be anxious about it, shouldn’t we should celebrate the adventure of slowly finding out something that was puzzling at first? Like your first week at school or in a new office building. We’ll get there and soon laugh at how confused me were at first. I hope!

Which instances support latex? I am asking for a friend 👀

#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

The QOTO server gives you 65535 characters per toot, which makes around 36 standard printing pages

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.
