#introduction
Hi everyone,
I am Nila. I am a neuroscientist & currently a Postdoc in Rainer Friedrich's lab at FMI. I study the circuit of the olfactory bulb in the adult zebrafish using a connectomic approach. Recently I have been a bit sidetracked by telencephalic temptations...
I am here to keep up to date and exchange with the scientific community. But I love to have my mind blown by anything nature. So, I am hoping to learn many fun facts outside of my horizons (& to see many beautiful images as well).
I am a first-gen academic which has sometimes been a struggle (mostly in my mind). Topics of open access, social mobility & justice are important to me, and I do have to learn a lot there.
Parenting 3 little humans doesn't leave much energy for hobbies but running is my lifeline.
Guess what % of plastics have ever been #recycled? No prizes :(
And guess who knew about it all the time?

Each scientific paper should come with a special section “all that failed beforehand”.
Sometimes I think about all the knowledge lost and the time waisted because we are not doing that… (yet) 😣
#Academia #Neuroscience but also all other types of #Research
Do you like pretty patterns?
Do you like maths?
Do you like biology?
If yes, then do think about applying for this PhD with me at @UniofBath on modelling Zebrafish pigment pattern formation.

Thx for reposting.
Work in progress, but beautiful anyway; EPG neurons in the PB of a tropical bee - moving closer towards comparative connectomics. @ERC_Research
#Introduction Greetings! I'm Lydia, a *coughing noises* year grad student in neuroscience. My background was originally protein chemistry, and I've done some work with machine learning and recurrent neural networks. Now I make connectome-based models of neural activity in Drosophila
I love solving problems through collective learning (and collective learning is a joy in itself regardless of whether problems get solved). I'm interested in meeting anti-imperialist, anticolonial, and/or anti-ableist academics. Let's gooo
Für alle, die es heute morgen verpasst haben: das DFG Fachkollegium Zoologie hat im neuesten @laborjournal ein unglaublich peinliches Eigentor geschossen, das ein düsteres Bild auf die Evaluationsprozesse bei der @dfg_public wirft:

Wäre so etwas repräsentativ für die Fachkollegien allgemein, wäre das ein hadfester Skandal.

Over the moon announcing: Effectively today I joined the Data Science Center https://ScaDS.AI at Uni Leipzig as Bio-image Data Scientist, Lecturer and Training Coordinator 🔬🖥️🚀
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone 🤗 Exciting days ahead 😃
#Evolution of #Olfaction:
Interesting new paper from @MPI_CE (@silkesachse and others)
They show different developments in the genus #Drosophila at multiple levels from reception to behaviour.

I'm quite happy with my current job, but if I was considering universities in the Netherlands, Utrecht is winning
"Utrecht University chose not to be included on the Times Higher Education rankings"
"According to Utrecht University, the rankings place “too much emphasis on scoring and competition,” while the university says it considers collaboration and openness of scientific research to be more important."

Ein Elsevier DEAL nützt nur den Konzernen und DEAL - oder zumindest den DEAL Jüngern, die nach der Unterzeichnung lukrative Verlagsjobs angeboten bekommen:

My wife has been pretty active in filling our yard with native plants and pollinators and she was able to catch this amazing video of a monarch in the garden. Hope this brings a smile to someone this weekend! 😀

Listen to my awesome colleague at the piano. And if you enjoy it give her a like (its also for a competition):
