Welcome! I am intrigued by your recreational math visualizations. Do you have a favorite visualization you've done just for fun?

#introduction Hi, I'm a neurobiologist and I like math! My day job involves a lot of signal processing and stats, but I also enjoy a good recreational math visualization from time to time.
If you are interested in #chemistry, #MassSpectrometry, or the development of cool new scientific instruments, then this #podcast episode may be a good fit for you!
Dr. Chris Chouinard is doing some interesting work on ion mobility-mass spectrometry for a wide range of applications from #biomedical to #antidoping. He is also using predictive computational approaches to be able to detect structures of compounds that don't even exist yet!

The way you described them, I think I love them already! I've been trying to do more vegetarian meals in our household too, but I'll admit that I am less than creative (or skilled!) in the kitchen. I'm going to have to give these a try!
@crystaljjlee
Welcome! Also, I am unfamiliar, but now incredibly curious - what is a Rancho Gordo bean, and what makes them awesome?

“A new brain-machine interface is the most accurate to date at predicting a person’s internal monologue. The technology could be used to assist those with disorders affecting speech to effectively communicate.”

A brief #introduction: I'm Crystal (she/her)! I'm a researcher at MIT working at the intersection of social justice x computing, which includes stuff about social media misinfo, data vis, tech + disability.
When I'm not doing research, I'm at Mozilla working on the Responsible Computer Science Challenge, which thinks thru critical approaches to CS pedagogy.
I also have a dog named Laika who will make frequent appearances here. 🐕 Ask me about veg cooking + my obsession w Rancho Gordo beans!

The circadian rhythm regulates branched-chain amino acids metabolism in fast muscle of Chinese perch (Siniperca chuatsi) during short-term fasting by Clock-KLF15-Bcat2 pathway. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/british-journal-of-nutrition/article/circadian-rhythm-regulates-branchedchain-amino-acids-metabolism-in-fast-muscle-of-chinese-perch-siniperca-chuatsi-during-shortterm-fasting-by-clockklf15bcat2-pathway/6BEB93C5974C17ECB0A6355DE03996F3 Vivo-#Morpholino
If you haven't met Dr. Rosie Alegado yet, then let me tell you, she is amazing!
In this new #podcast episode, she shares stories about her ambitious high school #science fair projects, reconnecting with her Native Hawaiian heritage, weather mishaps in field research, and the remarkable microbes she studies!

Well hello there Mastodon! I am new here, and don't understand anything about this. But I do understand a lot about #astrophotography !
Here is my most recent image, to start with a bang! This is the Rosette Nebula, shot with OSC, edited as Hubble Palette.
Let's see how this new medium will carry on. May the night be with us!

Here it goes, #introduction
Hi everyone, I'm a last year undergrad in #neuroscience & #computerscience at McGill. I'm doing #compneuro research in the Baillet Lab at The Neuro (MNI), focusing on whole-brain dynamical models of coupled neural masses calibrated to #MEG #neuroimaging data (details @ https://neurolife77.github.io/ if anyone is curious).
I am also the VP of the #ML committee at PharmaHacks, a hackathon that blends #biology & #datascience with a focus on #pharma.

Using a new advance in light microscopy, scientists can now observe proteins interacting and moving around inside living cells.

@freemo Proud to be part of the QOTO wave!
So, one of the things I'm working on right now that I'm really enthusiastic about is a #podcast that shares new #research, innovations, and #technology developed for people with #disabilities.
In the latest episode, I had a chance to talk to some pretty cool people from the company VacayIt, and they created an #accessible #travel app that allows you to explore new places through soundscapes and stories. The show is in collaboration with the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation, and here is a link if anyone wants to check it out:
@martinenserink As someone who joined less than 24 hours ago myself, I too am finding that I consider everyone with at least a few days on the platform an expert that I am learning from!
@apinae Thank you for the tips! I'll make sure to use hashtags and take a look around as I get settled in!
