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!
Check out this job posting by the Sidabras group at the Medical College of Wisconsin:
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.
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!
“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 #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.

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:
Deadline 16 November: #postdoc position for someone interested in #microbiomes and #bioinformatics! Be part of a large team and compare a clinical #IBD cohort with a large general population cohort.
