Im rewatching harry potter and the half prince... I realized that Severus originally was a death eater, then became a double agent for albus during the first wizarding war, then when Voldemort returned he convinced them he was a triple agent and was actually always working for Voldemort... but in fact he was a quadruple agent and was, in fact working for the order of the phoenix all along.

I love harry potter and all but man JK Rowling was not the best at realism :)

Whats up #Qoto?

if you learn
to finesse the sky
you may reach
the highest branch
of the tallest pine
and rub your beak against
the mountain’s cold spine
but remember, we are birds
born to die too soon
so fly often and with joy

🥳 Hair today, Mastodon tomorrow

Going to #SfN22 ?

Come in for a chat on all things sex differences in memory, feeding, and anxiety:

📚 Sunday Nov 13 8-9am #157.05
“Hippocampal interleukin-6
affects mnemonic functions
and emotionality in a sex-dependent manner”

🍽️ Monday Nov 14 4-5pm #400.17
“From an empty stomach to anxiolysis: molecular and
behavioral sex differences in
ghrelin axis”

See you soon!

Can’t believe it’s already time to head to San Diego! Next stop: Munich. #SfN22 #Neuroscience2022 #Neuroscience

Today has been *such* a good day in so many different ways, but now I am dead tired.

I think I'mma share some of what happened later, but here's a summary:

- Great concert band rehearsal
- Talking about hobbies in my University Honors meeting
- Sitting in on an upper-level COMM lecture on "Media Audiences" that was GREAT. I had lots I took away from it and it's going to be really helpful in my online interactions
- Played in the pep band at a women's basketball game where we won by a landslide

#Introduction I'm a research and data analyst for the #Science Journals who spends my days immersed in the world of #scholarly #publishing, #ethics, #policy, #DEI, #scicomm, and of course #data.

I'm trained as an #archaeologist and will forever be straddling the worlds of #arts #humanities and #sciences. My past research looked at the #spatial dimensions of #craft #practice in first millennium BC #britain with a particular focus on #ancient #metallurgy and #metalworking via a lens of #experimental #archaeology. And yeah, I'll *eventually* write up some of my PhD work...

I'm a #theory junky and I'm team #realism (over positivism) forever.

Here's ten years of me in my natural habitats.

Setting up on here sooner rather than later, looking for #geology and #SciComm !

So apparenntly at least one major ISP here in Israel blocks mas.to with a global firewall .. I wonder why that happened.

**Great** old interview with Isaac Asimov on religion and science.

I love this Rico Toto song from 1993! A fusion of synthpop with traditional Guadeloupean Gwo-ka music they call "electro-ka."

Vocoder and deep grooves. Album being reissued in a few weeks!

good morning everyone, i promise not to bomb my timeline with my own music that i create however, i woke up after this incredible full moon with the sun song in my head. FISTS CLINCHED! #Music #musique #Musik #WeAreTheRadio please play at
7 /10 volume https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_Qe6tRu_ok 7 Kinds of Wonderful - Brian Jonestown Massacre - the dance goes something like one hand to the earth, one hand to the heavens, attempt to stop the mountains from rising, pull the full force of the sun, even at night. twirl

I think I’m due for an #introduction! I’m an MD/PhD student at #uOttawa, doing my PhD in #neuroscience with Jean-Claude Béïque and Richard Naud. My work explores how uncertainty in reward feedback is processed in #prefrontal cortex, mainly in the context of #autism.

To do this, I use #behavior tasks in mice along with simultaneous in vivo two-photon calcium imaging. I also model #learning and #DecisionMaking using #ReinforcementLearning #RL.

Some of my other interests include patch clamp #ephys, post #stroke #synapse remodeling, #serotonin, #psychedelics and #consciousness.

Follow if you want to join me in finding and sharing interesting papers and ideas!

"Single-molecule magnetic tweezers to capture over a million individual transitions as a single talin protein unfolds and refolds under force in equilibrium. When observed at classically probed timescales, talin folds in an apparently uncomplicated two-state manner. As the sampling time extends from minutes to days, the underlying energy landscape exhibits gradually larger signatures of complexity, involving a finite number of well-defined rare conformations.[...]The physiological relevance of each distinct conformation can be connected to the binding of the cytoskeletal protein vinculin, suggesting an extra layer of complexity in talin-mediated mechanotransduction."

I have seen a few people doing this so I guess it's my turn. Here is a list of # I'm interested in.

Science:
#CellBiology
#MembraneTraffic
#MechanoBiology
#DevBio
#Growth
#Evolution
#Morphogenesis
#Microscopy
#ImageAnalysis
#BioPhysics
#Modelling
#SoftMatter

Other fields I am curious about:
#Epistemology

I also love #SciCom and I'm always looking for new channels to communicate science.
Currently, I mainly use #SkypeAScientist, dedicated #Discord servers, and help when my institute organizes events.

I do believe I like and enjoy #mastodon even more than #reddit. (Not a #twitter user.)
