some of this summers #pollen harvest. observing naturally occurring fluorescence using #microscopy is fascinating.

My name is Philipp and I am a Professor of Data Science at the University of Tübingen. My lab is at the Medical School and we work on a range of topics in #computational #neuroscience, #machinelearning for #genomics and #medicalAI for #ophthalmology. Also, I care about #machinelearning and #AI for #Africa. Find the start of a lab intro playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL05umP7R6ij33AS48nwsomvYoXAydqY6_ (more videos to come)

After successfully (I hope) moving to my own instance, here's another quick #Introduction:

I'm Daniel, a computer scientist, cheminformatician, and bioinformatician currently working at #EPFL in Switzerland. While I focus on #MachineLearning for drug discovery and development, I also dabble in #Sociology of #Science, #Astronomy, and #DataVisualisation. I also really like #SciComm.

And I really like #punk rock, #hockey, #astrophotography, and #cats.

Hi all, time for a quick #introduction.
I am a research director in cognitive #neuroscience at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris (France). My research group studies human #decision-making: not only how we make decisions, but also why we make avoidable errors under uncertainty. To do this, my group uses mathematical models of #behavior and #brain activity.
I will be posting our new work here, and hopefully more as the science community grows.

I won’t be going to #sfn22 this year, but my work will! Please come by board AA.12 on Tuesday morning around 9 am to learn about the anatomical organization of cell types and inhibitory connectivity across visual cortex. Long story short, layer 2 is really different than layer 3, different excitatory neurons have quite different synapse properties, layer 5 has oodles of very specific inhibition, and we found what seems to be a new class of disinhibition specialist interneurons.

I love the generosity that Mastodon compels. I boost more here than I ever retweeted because I just counted on "the algorithm" there/thought not much could get through anyhow.

The Scientific Computing Associates (SCA) program at #HHMIJanelia has two openings:
. Machine Learning Software Engineer with #OpenScience Software
. Automating Cognitive #Neuroscience Research with the Johnson Lab

https://www.janelia.org/support-team/scientific-computing-software/scientific-computing-associates

This program is a great chance for people with backgrounds in computer science to explore applications in biological research, and for people with backgrounds in other sciences to expand their experience with software development.

Janelia welcomes and values diversity, and encourages applications from people of all backgrounds, including people of color and members of groups traditionally underrepresented in science.

Don't forget that Janelia's Computation & Theory area is looking for both [Senior] Group Leader candidates (https://www.janelia.org/our-research/our-labs/group-leaders) and Theory Fellows (https://www.janelia.org/our-research/overview/theory-fellows)! Are you working on interesting computational and theoretical approaches to address fundamental biological questions? Talk to us!

Our work showing that the locus coeruleus broadcasts unsigned visuomotor prediction errors to facilitate cortical sensorimotor learning is now on bioRxiv!
Please check it out, would love feedback! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.08.515698v1

👋 #introduction. I run a lab at Trinity College Dublin that focuses on understanding #mentalhealth problems, from #brain, to the environment, to the dark arts of subjective experience. I think our samples sizes have been way too small for far too long and so we spend a lot of time trying to scale up our studies using the Internet. We have an app to do this (https://www.neureka.ie/) that has 18,000 users who donate their time to advance brain health science. Also: #networks #habits #compulsivity

Ok, I joined. What's the physiological relevance ?

#introduction I'm a neuroscientist at Oxford and UCL. I spend most of my time thinking about the front of the brain and how it controls behaviour. Sometimes this leads me backwards, but never really further back than hippocampus. I am also deputy editor at eLife so you can shout at me for that if you like.

Introduction time! ☺️
My name is Florian and I’m a computer scientist and a fully fledged nerd. 🤓

Life pushed me towards the life sciences and now I ❤️ to help others to better analyze their data. 🔬

All we do is #opensource. #CARE #Noise2Void #cryoCARE #FijiSc #napari #AI4Life bioimage.io et al.

I’m so proud of my amazing and amazingly colorful team of #RSEs, and #BioimageAnalysts.

Guess I should also mention: I love #running 🏃‍♂️ and pottery 🥣.

I posted this on twitter a while ago, but perhaps you might be interested....

You can identify 100 #bumblebee species with AI. Just cut out the bee image and upload it. I tried some pics---wow, it even identified #Bombus deuteronymus (although it didn’t tell me its subspecies name “maruhanabachi”). Fast & accurate! #pollinators #identification #biodiversity #bees

Currently seeking guest speakers for our local #GirlsWhoCode club here at Michigan! Speakers are typically #WomenInSTEM who discuss their career paths and take questions from high school students. Presentations are about 10-15 minutes plus time for questions. Club is virtual so anyone can be our guest speaker! DM me if interested! #WomenInScience #Science #ScienceMigration

Bothered by ticks? Check this out! Ticks (and mosquitoes) really dont like nootkatone, the chemical that gives grapefruit its distinct smell. This will likely be the next big "bug" repellent on the market, and we are trying to figure out how it works. Love it when behavioral data looks like this!

#introduction

Hi everyone!

I am an Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Biology at #HopeCollege (#PUI). I study #Behavior and #Neuroimmunology in mice and humans. My research uses #drugs of abuse (i.e. #morphine and #alcohol) and #space radiation to probe how peripheral #immune responses impact #cognition . I #teach and #mentor #undergraduates (#STEM) how to think about #science and challenge them to question HOW they know content. Here are some other topics/tags that I am fond of: #drugsofabuse #spaceradiation #learningandmemory #adultneurogenesis #microglia #macrophage #mentalhealth
