Trying things out. I will be posting mainly #neuroscience. So here is a question. What is the most important thing we need to be able to do to understand the principles on which brains work?
#GradSchool folks and future #GradStudents:
I started a list of US #PhD programs that *guarantee* full rotation support for students who need to switch labs. This is an important #inclusion, retention, and equitymeasure.
To add a program, reply to this post or add a comment to the GSheet at the following link. Let's make this a standard feature of PhD training!

@crazy_chipkali welcome, Ashwini!
Hello #mastodon , I am a new immigrant from #twitter #twittermigration ! I am a #womeninSTEM , & a herpetologist #HERper who is here for #academia #academicchatter #diversity & #science , more specifically #Evolution , #herpetology & #genomics
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!
Hi fediverse, boosts appreciated. This is my #introduction. I am a #Palaeolithic #archaeologist studying the evolution of human diet throughout the Pleistocene. I use #zooarchaeology to investigate how human diet changed throughout time and especially during the time frame of the last #Neanderthals and first Homo sapiens. Also, avid #rstats and #tidyverse user (but still learning).
#Introduction It’s nice to see so many familiar and new folks here!
I do #DataScience (aka #Statistics) and #RStats programming—previously in psychology and communications research in academia and social service agencies. Currently on the job market and seeing where that takes me.
I like to empower others when I can, so you’ll often find me in the comments helping out or passing on resources myself or others have made.
I look forward to building a community here with you!
@kristinmbranson @qoto.org I spent some time exploring qoto TL and boy was it a sweet ride. Mastodon >> Twitter for me so far (still being cautiously optimistic). Thanks for amplifying this server for migration!
My #introduction - I am an immigrant #scientist supporting professional development of graduate students and postdocs for academic thriving & diverse career goals, and broadly think about Grad Ed reforms. Prior to this life, was RNA biologist.
Hope to build (and learn from) a vibrant and supportive #academicMastodon #scimastodon community, similar to one I found on #AcademicTwitter #ScienceTwitter .
More wisdom from my 10yo:
Use the Free/Open Source METATEXT app (iOS)
Twitter-like UI, more user-friendly than the official app.

AND.. We can simply import a CSV of our current followers with 'merge' into the Mastodon account! https://twitter.com/anandi_krishnan/status/1588739677426978816

With #NeuroscienceMigration happening, two resources I've found:
(1) twitodon.com: register with them to link your twitter and mastodon accounts. Then it will find (and output an importable .csv of) the mastodon addresses of all of your twitter follows that have registered with them. The more of us that register, the better it works.
(2) https://fedifinder.glitch.me/: put your mastodon address in your twitter bio. Then fedifinder will find all your twitter follows (or followers, or lists) who have put their mastodon address in their twitter bio, and output a .csv of them as above.
(To import the csv: edit profile -> import and export -> import, and be sure that 'merge' is clicked.)
#NeuroscienceMigration friends, I hope you will find yourselves migrating at 9pm on Monday November 14 to #sfnbanter22 at Sidebar (536 Market Street) in San Diego during #SfN2022
Attention #NeuroMastodon, #ScienceMastodon, and all those interested in #neuroscience! Are you attending #SfN22 and interested in #SciPol? Join members of the National Science Policy Network for an informal meet-up!
Register here so I can follow up with the precise location by email: https://www.scipolnetwork.org/event-details?recordId=recH3mnWOlWabaWjK
Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Hello #ScienceMastodon et al!
I'm a scientist who researches how ions cross cell membranes. I study ion pumps, exchangers and channels which are all amazing nanomachines. My lab is at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland (US).
I also direct a PhD training program in Cellular & Molecular Medicine so my hands are full with all things relating to grad ed.
Expect prolific #foodposting and pix of my handsome #AustralianShepherd Samwise.
@kristinmbranson @deeMahishi @qoto.org @NicoleCRust If you open in a browser, to the right there’s a list of links, some of them are to explore all posts within qoto.org (the “local” feed) and another for all posts of people followed by accounts within qoto.org (the “federated” feed). Also the search autosuggests hashtags after typing a fee characters, that helps too. What I’ve also been doing is reading through the list of following of people I’m interested in to see who did they find. It’s all quite bespoke and random search so far, I’m no expert on #mastodon.
#introduction I’m a #volcanologist and #geoscience communicator. I research how #volcanoes work and their impact on people and the environment. Dedicated to raising awareness of the critical role geoscience plays in #sustainable development and for society through media engagement and as Co-Founder and Director of the Earth Futures Festival. I advocate for #equity, #diversity and #inclusion in geosciences and co-founded #WOMEESA
@albertcardona @kristinmbranson @qoto.org @NicoleCRust perfect, found it. thanks @albertcardona !
