Hello #neuroscience people! #introduction time: I’m a post doc at Salk institute studying #astrocytes and #neurodevelopment. I am from Arizona and did my PhD at Harvard studying #serotonin and #mouse #behavior.
In addition to my research, I care about mentoring and am active in Salk’s SACNAS chapter. I’m also a runner training for my first marathon and have two really good cats.
Here’s my website: https://krissylyon.wixsite.com/website.

Hello world! Who is out there? Hope to connect with folks with interests in #neuroscience, #psychology, #physics, #mathematics, machine learning (#ml ), #statistics, #ai, #philosophy, #economics & #linguistics and more generally interesting takes on science, history and the human condition. I do research mostly in neuroscience, physics, and machine learning

Text might be the most neglected part of #dataviz. We talk a lot about how the right chart type and colors can improve visualizations – but not enough about how to use words well.
So I wrote about that in my latest article: https://blog.datawrapper.de/text-in-data-visualizations/
Lots of interesting info. Some surprises:
* Gender disparity in data science is dismal and not improving.
* VSCode & Colab are on the rise.
The Kaggle 2022 #datascience and #machinelearning survey results our out: https://www.kaggle.com/kaggle-survey-2022 It's nice to see #Python and s...

Friendly reminder that knowing you acted with integrity matters.
@freemo thanks for the info. Yes, I'm trying to switch over to mastodon, posted from mastodon w a cross post to Twitter. I can also switch to a different server if this is the wrong one. Sorry for being new, and again thanks for the help.

Tegan Wilson gave a great talk today at Columbia about "optimal oblivious reconfigurable networks". For any given throughput level, they show how to reconfigure a network and route flow to minimize latency. Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.08780

Lawrence Saul gave a great talk at Columbia this week about how sparse and low-rank matrices are related to manifolds. Paper: https://users.flatironinstitute.org/~lsaul/pdfs/simods22-nmd.pdf
@barefootstache no, I haven't used them before, will try it out!
git has always had some kind of (often painful) solution for every problem. Until today. I'm disappointed, git.
"git mv X Y" is just shorthand for "mv X Y; git add X; git rm Y". "git log --follow" tries to guess what files are the same.
