In case you were discouraged from applying for the HHMI call (March 2023) because past winners all had Nature/Science/Cell papers, @leslievosshall says the times are a-changing and all outstanding scientists should apply this round!

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?

- 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.

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.

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.
wow. i should really re-read my toots before tooting....

Why we can't have nice things: so long Medium
I'm a nerd. I like to read about science and technology. I also like to participate - write content, answer questions, etc.
When Medium first appeared, I was excited to see a new format for content creators to directly share their work. I even paid for a subscription. But it has gone the way of Quora: click-baity titles with a ton of bad content. It's unfortunate, because some Medium content is still good, but it is too hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. Goodbye Medium.
As an aside, i think the same thing happened to Quora. When Quora first came out, i was quite active there: one of the top contributors in neuroscience. But now it is pretty terrible. The questions are repetitive and trite and the answers are often pure opinion.

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.

@eLife is there a way to download a PDF with the figure-supplements? if there is not can you make it so there is one?

🚨🚨🚨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.

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

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?
