My first toot.

I'm eligible to apply for a diversity supplement for my NIH grant (https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-21-071.html). If you fall into an underrepresented group, are interested in building computational/ML methods for genomics, and are looking for a postdoc next year, get in touch! (note: in computing, women are underrepresented!) Please boost

The ML team at Microsoft Research Montreal is hiring interns for summer 2023! Looking for candidates interested in robust, adaptive, modular ML / language for learning and interaction / Gaming and AI. Also possible to collaborate with the FATE team.

Apply at https://careers.microsoft.com/us/en/job/1489900/Stagiaire-de-recherche-en-apprentissage-automatique-Research-Inter

Please spread this to your network, we really want to make sure we reach everyone, not just people we already know.

We also have internships in the FATE team: https://careers.microsoft.com/us/en/job/1488252/Research-Intern-FATE-Montreal-Fairness-Accountability-Transparency-and-Ethics-in-AI .

Here it goes, #introduction

Hi everyone, I'm a last year undergrad in #neuroscience & #computerscience at McGill. I'm doing #compneuro research in the Baillet Lab at The Neuro (MNI), focusing on whole-brain dynamical models of coupled neural masses calibrated to #MEG #neuroimaging data (details @ https://neurolife77.github.io/ if anyone is curious).

I am also the VP of the #ML committee at PharmaHacks, a hackathon that blends #biology & #datascience with a focus on #pharma.

Hi to everyone who does not know me yet 👋 😃

I help researchers implementing #OpenScience and reproducible #DataScience 🤓

If you are a researcher (in academia or industry), my newsletter is for you: https://heidiseibold.substack.com

#introduction post! My name is Sonia Roberts (she/her) and I'm a postdoc at Northeastern developing #knit sensors for #soft, fully knitted #robots. My PhD work was on #legged robots running around in the desert (ever gone for a beach run?). I use my robots to test ideas about #affordances and #DirectPerception. I have also done some #SciencePolicy and #TechnologyPolicy #policy work around algorithmic transparency and regulating the use of mobile sentries by law enforcement.

The Scientific Computing Associates (SCA) program at #HHMIJanelia has two openings:
. Machine Learning Software Engineer with #OpenScience Software
. Automating Cognitive #Neuroscience Research with the Johnson Lab

https://www.janelia.org/support-team/scientific-computing-software/scientific-computing-associates

This program is a great chance for people with backgrounds in computer science to explore applications in biological research, and for people with backgrounds in other sciences to expand their experience with software development.

Janelia welcomes and values diversity, and encourages applications from people of all backgrounds, including people of color and members of groups traditionally underrepresented in science.

#introduction Hi! I'm a research group leader in cognitive computational neuroscience.

I'm broadly interested in human vision, work a lot on face perception, and I'm excited by the opportunities artificial neural networks offer us to make progress in the field.

I'd also like to see a greener world and academia being more family friendly.

Looking forward to some fun exchange with the science community!

I found a moderation tools README here, interesting read for anyone else interested in #moderation

https://github.com/joyeusenoelle/GuideToMastodon/blob/main/Moderation.md

Hi folks,
A brief #introduction:
I took the disruption of the pandemic to return to my undergrad degree at #UofT after a 20-year hiatus (poor mental health). I am currently studying Ecology and Evolutionary Biology with a strong interest in sexual selection and behavioural ecology,
I've been keeping neotropical cichlids for ~30 years and have a whole lot of questions about them that I'm SO eager to explore!

📢The FATE (Fairness, Accountability, Transparenfy and Ethics in AI) group at Microsoft Research Montreal is hiring interns for 2023! Looking for candidates with broad FATE interests including responsible NLP/NLG, human-centered AI, AI transparency and explainability, and future of work. Apply here: https://careers.microsoft.com/us/en/job/1488252/Stagiaire-de-recherche-FATE-Research-Intern-FATE-Montreal-Fairness-Accountability-Transparency-and-Ethics-in-AI

To #BIPOC / #POC users of Mastodon (others can boost):

What do you make of CW culture and norms on here?

The people I see being most vocal about it are 99.99% White people which feels like a red flag

Hi all! My #introduction:

I'm a computational ecologist interested in disease dynamics (#DisEcol!), zoonotic spillover, spatiotemporal processes and the intersection of mechanistic models, Bayes + ML. I work at EcoHealth Alliance, an NGO focused on the links between conservation + health.

I do a fair bit of #rstats and lead a project at @ropensci facilitating peer-review of scientific software.

I'm Brooklyn-based, and will sometimes toot about local #NYC politics, #cycling and #bikepacking.

Whats our plan for racists on the fediverse? I was just excited by seeing #BlackMastodon yesterday and today I see people I was happy to see on here have already faced harassment.

Hey everyone !

Time for my #science #introduction

I am the PI of the @cellcommlab @ the UKE in Hamburg, Germany. We use #microscopy & #imageanalysis to study how cells move & communicate.

I am from #Chile, where I did my #PhD at PUC, then moved to Paris to work at the Institut Curie and IPGG.

After quite some years in #science (20 since I started my BSc !) I keep my fascination to observe how cells do things, like these migrating leukocytes.
