Happy to connect here as professor, lab director, educator, and researcher. My lab (Brain, Education, and Mind - BEAM) studies the development and difficulties of language and literacy. Our methods include #neuroimaging (#fMRI) as well as #assessments. As a professor, I train future clinicians to understand students and identify areas of strength and challenge, especially relative to specific tasks. #introduce #introductionpost

Citizen-led #expeditions have a unique role in fostering close connections between the public and the scientific community. @OctoEduardo advocates for greater support and encouragement for citizen-led projects, like #CaptainDarwin.

@thenewstats Hope you're feeling better! The migration has been an adventure for me too, but I'm liking the community so far!

@ChrisBrown
Nice! TWiV was one of the first podcasts I started listening to, and I remember feeling so starstruck when I interviewed Vincent Racaniello for one of our shows.

Opportunity for a #postdoc at Baycrest, Toronto, with two of the most wonderful mentors you will find in our #memory community!

@biogeo
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.

@freemo @Pat I did it! GREAT SUCCESS! It is moving much faster now. Thank you both!

@Pat @freemo
Actual footage of my technical prowess.... but I will give it a go.

@freemo @Pat It is a bit slow for me right now. (15.73 sec for full page load)

If you are interested in , , or the development of cool new scientific instruments, then this 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 to . 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!

If you haven't met Dr. Rosie Alegado yet, then let me tell you, she is amazing!

In this new episode, she shares stories about her ambitious high school fair projects, reconnecting with her Native Hawaiian heritage, weather mishaps in field research, and the remarkable microbes she studies!
