Time for an #introduction.

I'm a developer at https://stacklet.io working with python in a serverless AWS environment. Working remotely from New Zealand.

When not working I love eating the amazing food my wife cooks, good #wine, good #gin. I tolerate #gardening just to have fresh vegetables. Enjoy walking our standard poodle through the native bush. Enjoy #singing, in a #barbershop #choir.

Feed wild #birds daily just to see them gather.

I also play commander #MtG on #SpellTable.

Moving this account to take off some of the load of my previous home instance (that I still like and support).
So, not quite new, but to help others find me, here are a few of my favourite hashtags: #organ #organmusic #WomenComposers #knitting #singing #choir

I speak English, German, French and basic Icelandic. I understand Dutch and Swedish. And various dialects 😄

Check out this event at the #Nottingham Albert Hall by my choir on 18//12 .Who doesn't love a good singalong at Christmas? The programme is a good mixture of traditional and contemporary and I promise you that we're really good. Besides, if I have to earworm A Spaceman Came Travelling for months at a time you can at least listen to me singing it once!

Interesting fact of the day: The same effect that cuased light in a prism to split up into different colors is what ultimately caused the first transatlantic telegraphic wire in 1858 to fail.

Morse code is transmitted as on-off signals, effectively square waves. Square waves are in fact made up of many different frequencies. Like in a prism different frequencies move at different speeds through a wire. Therefore as the on-off pulses traveled through the transatlantic telegraph wire the signal spread out like it does in a prism and ultimately the pulses would overlap and be indistinguishable.

The effect was so extreme that it took a message of only 98 words (the first message sent) over 67 minutes to send one way and a whopping 16 hours to confirm the message.

Whitehouse, a doctor with little mathematical understanding, thought he could solve the problem by increasing voltage, which we now know was a futile effort. He increased the voltage to the point he managed to short out the cable entirely and made it useless. However Lord Kelvin had already warned of the problem as was ignored and he came up with the law of squares to describe the problem which later was refined to give us the telegraphers equation. The telegraphers equation is still used today to model feedlines in radio transmitters and receivers.

#introduction I am an associate professor at the Gatsby Computation Neuroscience Unit and Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at UCL and visiting scientist at #MetaAI.

I think we're pretty amazing learners and my goal is to unravel the computational principles governing learning in artificial and biological systems. I'm broadly interested in the theory of deep learning and applications to neuroscience and psychology.

#Introduction I am a DPhil Student at the University of Oxford supervised by Armin Lak and Chris Summerfield.

I work on the most exciting question in neuroscience: How do brains learn? I use a blend of experimental and theoretical methods to get at answers to this question. And when I can, I build useful tools for making sense of data.

I also help run the Cortex Club. We're always looking for speakers. Check out https://cortexclub.com if you would like to say hello.

If you see this toot (yeah this one right here), can you boost it for me? It will help my new server federate with the wider Mastodon network. 🚀 🙏

Mornin’. Didn’t realise a formal #introduction was de rigueur on here - my bad. I’m the Bee Guy - the founder of the first and only native wild bee sanctuary on the planet - The Bee Sanctuary of Ireland. Not for profit social enterprise 24/7 365 advocating for our native wild bees. Not about honey bees - they’re fine. Only on here for the #bees & #planet. Heart on my sleeve, head in the stars, feet in a muddy puddle. Big plans. Need your support. Thoughtful brave disruption. Language matters.1/n

It looks like this platform might finally become more populated, so let me (re)introduce this page.

Neurofrontiers is a bilingual blog about interesting neuroscience topics that tries to be accessible to the broader public while still maintaining scientific accuracy. It's run by a team of three people: a computational neuroscientist, a psychologist, and a graphic designer. We think that being on social media allows us to stay up-to-date with the most recent discussions in science and hope to be able to connect with like-minded individuals.

#introduction: I am obsessed with the biology of #hallucinations and #delusions.

I am a #newPI at the Francis Crick Institute, London. In our lab, the #Psychosis Collective, we study the neural circuits and immune processes underlying unfounded perceptions and thoughts 🐭 👤 . I look forward to great #neuroscience #immunology #neuroimmunology #psychiatry here!

This is me moving to London without ever having been to London before.

are you, like me, here but not really sure how it works? Never fear, the data witch strikes AGAIN! check out this amazing mastodon explainer for #rstats and data people from

Obligatory #introduction! My background is in architectural engineering and environmental design - I am currently a research associate at Newcastle University where I study how a person's immediate environment can affect their health outcomes. I am obsessed with street networks. In my free time you can find me at the allotment, or collecting interesting rocks on the beach.

#introduction
Recently repatriated to UK after 23 years in Timor-Leste, now living in Leeds. Trying to get used to Mastodon, where I have also recently migrated. Still on Twitter for now, same name. Former journalist. Tourism development and communications consultant.
