Welcome!! May I submit a request for a post with photos of your two amazing furry colleagues? I'm working on getting my Mastodon feed to be mostly science and dog photos. It's getting there...

More than happy to land here! I am a neuroscientist interested in the dog-human bond. 😃 💞 🐶 Using fMRI, I help uncover how dog brains perceive their social world.


I am not alone in this endeavor. Besides brilliant human colleagues worldwide, I have two amazing furry colleagues, Odín and Kun-kun.

This photo belongs on the fridge! I don't know whose fridge, but someone's fridge needs this piece of art!

Chemistry, technology, entrepreneurship, and anti-doping collide in my latest interview for the Partnership for Clean Competition's Anti-doping Podcast!

Activated Research Company is doing amazing work developing new user-friendly and cost-effective scientific tools for chemical analysis with a wide variety of applications.

In our new podcast episode, Dr. Joel Berger shares stories from his exciting adventures studying and conserving lesser-known species around the world. We also hear about his career path, life outside of science, books, and more!

After a stroke, it is not uncommon to experience one or more additional strokes. Early detection is critical for patient outcomes, but the logistics of post-stroke monitoring are difficult, and most approaches only capture a snapshot in time of a patient's status (periodic CT scans, clinician assessment, etc.).

In this new podcast episode, our guests discuss Nuroflux, a wearable system that will provide continuous, quantitative monitoring of blood flow and activity in the brain for use in people after a stroke.

- decades later, and I'm still rocking the same fantastic fashion sense, wild hair, and terrible posture. Some things will never change.

@DrYohanJohn @ct_bergstrom If we all start humming quietly, I feel like we can supply our own mood music and make this work! I'm taking the stance of whoever I happen to run into next on Mastodon is my new best friend. It seems easier than trying to track down everyone I once knew on the bird app.

@enog "Mastadonians" sounds fancy. I'm putting my vote there.

In my previous work studying Parkinson's Disease (PD), I was fascinated by freezing of gait, a phenomenon where people with PD become "frozen" in place while trying to take a step during walking or turning.

Researchers in this recent paper identified that theta oscillations in the midfrontal area of the brain may be involved in these freezing of gait symptoms, contributing to our understanding the mechanisms of freezing.

Just s reminder we are looking to bring in THREE people on the tenure track as part of our new cluster hire in #indigenous science here at ESF. It's a great place to live and to work, with string institutional support for Indigenous centered science and Indigenous students. Plus opportunities to work with our partners and in our field stations in the Adirondacks esf.interviewexchange.com/jobo

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.

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. 🤓

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

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 analysis and annotation. Here are some of them:
- : find and quantity transposons in short-reads data github.com/clemgoub/dnaPipeTE
- : detect and genotype polymorphic insertions using approaches github.com/cgroza/GraffiTE
- +Aid : a little tool to help manual curation of libraries github.com/clemgoub/TE-Aid

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

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

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!
