@Scout048 Hi carl, IT is probably the biggest part of our community in one way or another. I myself have spent most of my career in IT in one form or another. Its great to have you.
Reach out anytime if you want to chat or have any questions.
Hi, great to meet you. While not the same I have worked with Natural Language Processing a lot, we might have some things to talk about. Either way I have no doubt you will make a great addition to the group.
I look forward to reading your posts. Feel free to reach out anytime if you want to chat or have any questions.
By way of #introduction, I am professor of #DigitalHumanities at the University of #Lausanne (#UNIL), #Switzerland.
I studied #ComputationalLinguistics and did a PhD in #ComputerScience on #ELearning. But these days my main research interest is #theory, #methodology and #epistemology of digital humanities.
Current research project (funded by @snsf_ch): Towards Computational Historiographical Modeling: Corpora and Concepts (http://dynalabs.de/mxp/research/2021-snsf)
#introduction time I suppose. Name is Carl, but I go by scout basically everywhere. I am from Arkansas. I game a lot, do IT for a living, and work on cars and electronics projects for fun. My family enjoys camping and we are dog people. Here to try something new. Not enjoying social media elsewhere.
Let me introduce myself! My name is Ilenna Jones, I am a computational neuroscientist with keen interest on how dendrites contribute to a singular neuron's ability to compute functions and learn tasks. I build biophysical models of neurons in #pytorch and use #deeplearning principles to investigate how #neuron models can learn and compute given their biologically realistic constraints.
I'm looking for postdocs right now! Feel free to connect if you're looking for someone like me!
I'm very interested in helping other students find resources and guidance as they consider science and #neuroscience in general. Feel free to connect if you're looking for advice/perspectives!

@ilennaj Is it bad tthat when I read this it started out to the melody of "The Humpty Dance"?
Great to have you here, we have a tone of neuroscience and computation neuroscience people here.. im more on the computational side myself but I have a toe in that arena.
Feel free to reach out if you have questions or just want to chat.
@PhDMarie Please tell me you've seen this:
I see you are still the magnamanous word smith I have come to expect from you... Good to see you are still kickin it :)
We already have had a mass extinction.. even if right now we stopped everything, a mass extinction has already occured. Cant avoid what has already happened.
@idropyou What i loved were tthe curds, you cant find curds everywhere and they were top notch! Even when i visited companies they had the curds in their cafeteria a lot, I loved it, my heart on the other hand not so much, but screw that whiney bastard.
@PhDMarie You are now whole :) Every human on the planet needs to see that video.
@idropyou Great to have you isaac, I've been to Wisconsin a few times on business, I miss the cheese :)
We have a lot of hackers and makers around so I think youll fit right in and like it here. I look forward to following your projects.
Reach out anytime if you have questions of even if you just want to chat.
Ok, it's clear I need a way better #introduction post.
Hi, I'm Isaac. #wisconsin born and raised and still living in this wonderful state (just now on the opposite side of it). As a lover of all seasons, this is definitely home.
I grew up on a dairy farm and migrated away due to the draw of computers and getting a degree. I work as a lead systems and software engineer; which lets me enjoy the hobby of collecting hobbies. I am most definitely found being busy. I spend copious amounts of time #cycling, mostly riding and racing #MTB but also enjoying time on the road bike and commuting by bike to work when possible. I also coach middle/high schoool MTB racing and have spent several years on the board of our local MTB advocacy group.
I enjoy the outdoors and spend a lot of time #camping in our #nationalparks and other spaces; towing a little Aliner classic camper around the country and enjoying it all with my wife and son. I enjoy hunting (no, I'm not a gun nut), fishing and hiking. I spend too much on #photography equipment and not having enough time to use it; and can't wait until retirement so I can shoot more. #birds are one of my favorite subjects. If we're not enjoying our wild spaces, we're donating to orgs to help preserve them.
I'm always tinkering and #making things; my upbringing (poor farm kid) allowed me to learn to be rather handy and have the ability to make all kinds of stuff. Some days I'd much rather be running my welder than a computer.
In the late winter and early spring you can find me making #maplesyrup from ~100 taps on equipment I've built. My dad taught me the art and science of it and now my son gets to learn and we have a lot of fun.
And, I enjoy #rocketry. Low, mid and now high power - but I'm only L1 high power certified so far. It allows me to make stuff. I enjoy scratch building immensely. It's also yet another reason to be #outside and spend some fun time with my son.
That's me in a very condensed version. Glad to be here.
@PhDMarie Please tell me you've seen this:
@LouisIngenthron Well the nice thing is they arent just reporting a lot of new followers but they are actually reporting engagement now. Which means those same followers over on twitter were blinded by the algorithm and dont have that issue here. I will take that as a win.
@LouisIngenthron You could be right... I really dont even know how popular those tools are.
@Drchaos Please report to the admin of the instannce immediately for cuddles and treats!
@PhDMarie You throw up some hip hop dance movies in a video and I promise your follower count will bump :)
