@lakens Thank you for sharing this chapter! I didn't know the word "likelihoodist" and now I know I am one. Btw the brain is a likelihoodist too! It's how we make decisions. This is described in various papers but the most interesting is arguably this one (which shows that Turing was a likelihoodist and considered a ratio of 10 to be meaningful evidence, calling it a "deciBan"): https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0896627302009716

Continuing this monday with my favorite fact from Chapter 3 of my textbook: The probability of observing mixed results, and how mixed results can be strong evidence for a true effect. https://lakens.github.io/statistical_inferences/likelihoods.html#mixedresults

I remember once performing 4 studies, close replications. There was no effect in 1 out of 3. So I started discussing with my collaborator: What is so special about this study that makes the effect disappear? My collaborator replied: or it is just random variation, as expected.

First toot #ScienceMastodon

I am a #devbio Group Leader at the Babraham Institute. 🐭⌛️👤⏳

Likely to highlight papers on dev bio. Specially timing, stem cells and mammalian #development.

Sometimes I post about research culture, academic progression and women in science

Trying to keep up in SMM as twitter has been useful so far.

Why Wikipedia? Because it’s the largest, most widely used, non-partisan democratised platform for sharing knowledge. Every day Wikipedia users include high school students, parents, teachers, journalists, policy makers and academics. It’s not behind a paywall and it’s not full of technical jargon. But like all encyclopaedias, Wikipedia has huge gaps – especially in biographies of women of people from other historically excluded groups.

This seems like a step improvement in 2-photon microscopy

Spencer has a nice thread on it on Twitter (I don't think he's on Mastodon yet?): https://mobile.twitter.com/Labrigger/status/1589471340356333568

Just because it is Monday morning and the #TwitterMigration is still going on, it may be worth repeating that #science would do well to replace their antique journals with modern technology:
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5526634
The three most important reasons why:
- The most prestigious journals publish the least reliable science:
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2018.00037/full
- Journal prices are tenfold inflated:
https://f1000research.com/articles/10-20/v2
- Open infrastructures for research data, code, models, software, etc. are sorely missing.

I'm new to Mastodon! Still getting used to this new platform. I'm Dan Nomura, a Professor of Chemical Biology at UC Berkeley! My lab uses chemical biology approaches to tackle "undruggable" proteins and to develop new therapeutic modalities to develop next-generation disease therapies!

🚨 We are hiring a Bioimage Analyst and Research Software Engineer @humantechnopole@twitter.com in Milan. 🚨
I believe we are a really fun team doing great work together. Check us out and apply if you want to join! 👍
We’re looking forward getting to know you!

Time for an #introduction. Nervous systems — yours, mine, those of mice, fish, and insects and worms — are made up of populations of different kinds of neurons that communicate with one another. Current electron microscopy generates millimeter-scale volumes with the morphology and synaptic connectivity of up to 10^5 neurons. As a scientist at the Allen Institute, I am mapping out the cell types and connectivity rules found in cortex and building computational tools to help others do the same.

Hello! A brief #introduction - I’m an Asst Prof at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. I study organizational principles of #neuralNetworks. We study #neuralCircuits underlying #motorControl, #sensoryIntegration, and #decisionMaking across species. We also develop methods for synapse-resolution #connectomics. Looking forward to learning more!

Hello world! This is my #introduction. I’m a #phd student at #UniversityofRochester studying #neuroscience #cognitiveneuroscience. Specifically, I use #psychophysics #ephys and #neuralnetworks to study the computational principles and neural correlates of perception of 3D structure in the world. I’m finishing my #phd soon and would love to explore #postdoc opportunities to continue research on understanding how animals interact with the environment and with each other.

Hello Mastodon. I am a neuroscientist and PI at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York, USA. I have long-standing interests in natural behavior, the neural circuitry of auditory and olfactory communication in mice and birds, neuromodulation, and neurodevelopmental disorders. I am skeptical of some aspects of this platform, but I am keeping an open mind. @sheacshl on Twitter.

Hi Mastodon! 👋

Dipping my toes here given the situation on the birdsite. I am Editor in Chief of #PLOSBiology, interested in all things science.

A virologist by training, I am passionate about #OpenScience and making publication process a transparent and constructive one.

I look forward to chatting about science, the evolving publishing landscape, traveling, cooking and a bit of everything!

JOB ALERT (please reblog) -->

Molecular biologist for zebrafish at Janelia Research Campus, HHMI:

Woah - German government has got its own Mastodon instance and most of the ministries and many agencies already have accounts.
Verification problem at least partially solved - just need to check the domain is right!
I've also seen newspapers like theatlantic.com set up instances themselves. Looks like verification will be worked out sooner or later.

Hi All! Happy to be here - this is my #introduction. I'm an assistant professor at the University of Amsterdam and we are creating and applying fluorescent probes for imaging of cells with microscopes.
I'm also interested in image analysis and #dataViz with #opensource tools.
