Intro time. Hi #sciencemastodon - I'm Co-Founder of the #preprint servers bioRxiv & medRxiv at Cold Spring Harbor Lab, where I also oversee CSH Perspectives and other #publishing projects. I trained as a molecular biologist. My goal is to improve science communication.

Learn more about bioRxiv at https://doi.org/10.1101/833400 - and on the podcast https://tinyurl.com/y8rbttwz

I'm also interested in promoting understanding of different career paths for academics. More at https://tinyurl.com/4papvn5z

Twitter was free because we were the product of a marketing service.

Mastodon is free software but someone will have to pay the bill for the servers. When the server admins come asking for help, don't be offended and be ready to chip in

My #introduction

Living in Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I work at GitHub on data product related things, and, when no-one is looking, try to squeeze the odd academia-related feature in (e.g. citation file support). Previously worked on NASA space telescopes, founding the Data Science Mission Office at STScI in Baltimore (home of HST and JWST).

In my 'free' time, I am the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Open Source Software (http://joss.theoj.org).

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

- I feel much more comfortable here after reading it!

Hey all - #introduction to Mastodon. I run a #neuroscience research lab at the University of Minnesota. I’m interested in how the brain creates motivation. If I end up posting here you will also see my cats.

If you’re attending the Society for Neuroscience conference next week, we have a ton of cool posters in the Wed AM session. If this kind of thing interests you get in touch! We’re recruiting off of a couple new research grants for 2023.

#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.

We are looking for postdocs! (1) To study how brainwide neuronal activity supports diverse behaviors (w Kenneth Harris); (2) To relate the activity of a neuron to its pre- and postsynaptic neurons across cortex (w Alipasha Vaziri and Federico Rossi). https://tinyurl.com/CortexlabPostdoc

Applications are open for the 2023 Wellcome Optical Biology PhD Programme at UCL. Deadline is January 9, 2023 (https://opticalbiology.org/apply).

Advice for getting a job as a interdisciplinary researcher http://www.russpoldrack.org/2022/11/03/Advice-For-Interdisciplinary-Researchers.html

Mastodon friends, I wrote a thread on Twitter that asks for commitments to three behaviors to maximize the chances for a successful transition of the community discussion to this platform. Please have a look and retweet it if you are willing to commit to the behaviors for November:

new blog post -- hypothesis testing by example #rstats #statistics #statsed

if you teach stats, i highly recommend giving this problem in intro stats course! it's also fun to try on your own 🤔 😊!
