Hopefully there will be some results in lowering the trajectory...

Dear fellow scientists, I know it's been said many times before but please please make a Google Scholar page and make it public? It makes life so much easier when going through tens and tens of unknown names (like I'm doing right now to help select symposia for a conference): one can find your latest papers, your most cited papers, etc. And if you have some principled objection to Scholar or to their stock-market-style citation counter, I get it and that's fine, but at least do orcid.org?

#COSYNE2023 #registration is now open y'all!!!!

- Our next gen headstages have two channels of opto and active torque free commutator (https://open-ephys.org/next-gen-acquisition-system; https://open-ephys.github.io/onix-docs/)
- For the legacy system, there are a lot of people who successfully use cheap slip ring for the SPI cable with through bore. They then seat a fiber commutator in the bore.

Join the Neuroscience & Philosophy Salon Dec 8, noon EST-US for discussion with Matthew Larkum's lab (paper below).

Join @diceyjennings and I moderating discussion!

Here's the paper:

4 lectureships in #neuroscience in Bristol, UK. (2 junior, 2 senior).

Offers £39,745 - £68,823. (Not a typo, unfortunately.)

Not wanting to single out Bristol here, note all UK universities offer these ridiculously low salaries. The expectation, I can only guess, is that your partner with a higher salary subsidises the university via the institution of marriage, or you are independently wealthy, or choose not to have a family.

Someone posted this earlier, but I haven't been able to track down the original post – 

"Visualizing Science: How Color Determines What We See"

https://eos.org/features/visualizing-science-how-color-determines-what-we-see

I think it's _very_ interesting how these palettes change what's highlighted and emphasized. "Perceptually equalized colormaps" may not always be the best choice.

#DataVisualization #DataScience #Science #Color #Visualization

This is the state of our field, y'all. I'm glad Dr. Steven Roberts is shedding light on the reality of what scholars who study race, and scholars of color have to deal with every damn day. Just disgusting.

I am a harmless wandering anthropologist, bringing 20 hours of free #CausalInference and #BayesianStatistics instruction to your door. From foundations of inference through DAGs, #MultilevelModels & poststratified causal effects to #GaussianProcesses, Bayesian imputation & ODEs. Theatrical trailer below.

🚨🚨🚨NEW PREPRINT🚨🚨🚨

A big mystery in brain research is what are the neural mechanisms that drive individual differences in higher order cognitive processes. Here we present a new theoretical and experimental framework, in collaboration with @SussilloDavid, Valerio Mante, Mikio Aoi, and Jonathan Pillow.

Want to help redesign one of the most popular and widely-used tools for researchers?

Zotero is hiring a designer: https://www.zotero.org/jobs/ui_designer

Would do it if I could. Ideal for someone else who has great UX / product design chops.

Now that #COSYNE2023 abstracts are in I want to announce a #CIFAR workshop on #cognition, #AI and #consciousness that will take place *the day before COSYNE* (March 8) here at #Mila.

https://consiousnessworkshop2023.mila.quebec/

We have a great line-up and registration is *free*!

Please boost!!!!!

Excited to announce my ERC StG @ERC_Research! This means I will be recruiting soon! As its a large grant, I will be looking for multiple postDocs, Phd students and research manager. Please spread the word to anyone who might be interested! The focus of the grant will be on.. 1/5

Is writing papers really enough to trigger reforms?

4 years ago, our working group published guidelines for the support of research software:
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1172987

A few days ago, "Ten simple rules for funding scientific open source software" were published:
https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1010627

Who is supposed to read these and will reading these calls change anything in the readers' behavior?
