Dr. Marie McNeely @PhDMarie@qoto.org

Thank you to my brother, @nathansmith, for getting me up on Mastodon. I am a faculty member at CU PT, with professional interests in spinal cord injury research, neuroscience, and pro bono care. 
#introduction #academic #neuroscience

Right now everyone is still engaged in making connections and introductions, but as @PessoaBrain mentioned, we should think about ways to stimulate good #neuroscience conversations (especially sans timeline algorithm).

I don't think there is any magic formula, so I'd encourage everyone to just post what fascinates them: stray thoughts, quotes from papers and books, diagrams, contentious topics, and perhaps my favorite: 'dumb' questions. 🤓

[...]

I am fascinated by the #brain 🧠, #neuroscience, #ageing, #Alzheimer's #dementia and #neurodegenerative #diseases - especially the #noradrenergic system of the #LocusCoeruleus ( #LC #bluespot 🔵🔵) and #vagusnervstimulation ⚡. Let's continue to exchange about it.

#introduction Hi there! My name is Clément, I am an evolutionary biologist interested in #transposons (Jumping Genes 🧬➰🧬) !

#transposons are really cool! They turn Cabernet 🍷 into Chardonnay, protect us from viruses 👾and also give their nice smell to roses🌹!

I really like to pretend I'm doing bioinformatics by playing Lego with software and making pipelines and methods for #transposon analysis and annotation. Here are some of them:
- #dnaPipeTE : find and quantity transposons in short-reads data https://github.com/clemgoub/dnaPipeTE
- #GraffiTE : detect and genotype polymorphic #Transposon insertions using #pangenome approaches https://github.com/cgroza/GraffiTE
- #TE+Aid : a little tool to help manual curation of #Transposons libraries https://github.com/clemgoub/TE-Aid

I am also a contributor to the #TEhub a community centered ressource to learn and share how to analyze #Transposons -- find out more here https://tehub.org -- YouTube: https://youtube.com/@tehub

Always excited to talk about anything, please reach out if you are interested in #Transposons!

When I don't do science, I am passionate about music (I'm into DIY synthetizers these days), vinyl records, photography, skiing, video games and ah yes I am quite passionate about politics too!

Cheers!

#EPR #Instrumentation

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.

#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.
