New #Introduction now that I've migrated to spore.social (YAY!)

I'm an environmental social scientist who works on issues related to #food, #climate, #biodiversity, and #radical #change.

I wrote a book, Finding Our Niche, which offers metaphors for how to achieve win-win scenarios, interwoven with stories from my own personal journey to understand my identity and privilege as a white settler to Turtle Island.

I have also hosted multiple podcasts, most recently The Second Transition

Welcome to all followers, old and new. Here's an image of Vesta Venera Caroli, my Lagotto Romagnolo. 🤎

Also, a disclaimer:
I post a lot of pet pictures and amplify friends' toots about astronomy or anything of import.

If you’re into that, you’re in the right place. If you’d like to hide my boosts, at the top right corner of my profile are three dots, click and in the drop menu, you can disable them there.

Thank you all for being here!🙏

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.

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 https://esf.interviewexchange.com/jobofferdetails.jsp;jsessionid=942398213E171B2FA666BCE6DEBC2020;jsessionid=C42A3F5E2572300B4DA0FB052308326A?JOBID=155547

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.
