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.

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!

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 , , 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!

“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!
