Do you follow too many people?

Do you want to organise your Mastodon home timeline into several themed mini-timelines that are easier to navigate?

You can do this on Mastodon using the "Lists" feature, and here's a guide all about it:

https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-advanced-tips/#UsingListsOnMastodon

You can use Lists on third party apps like Tusky for Android or Metatext for iPhone/iPad, or on your server's website.

🚨 BIG DATA RELEASE 🚨 We are beyond excited to announce the release of our Brain Wide Map of neural activity during decision making! It consists of 547 Neuropixel recordings of 32784 neurons across 194 regions of the mouse brain 🐭🧠

All these recordings were performed in a distributed fashion in 12 different labs, spanning Europe and the US 🌎 Rigorous standardization of methods and materials allowed us to pool the data from these labs together into a single gigantic dataset 🐙

Mice are performing our standardized perceptual decision-making task in which they have to position a stimulus in the center of a screen to receive reward. The dataset contains the stimuli and decisions, but also videos from three angles and DeepLabCut pose information. We're even releasing all the raw ephys data!

We know, it's a lot. At your own pace you can read all the details about the experimental setup, the task, processing of the data, and much more in the technical paper which accompanies this data release: https://figshare.com/articles/preprint/Data_release_-_Brainwide_map_-_Q4_2022/21400815

To explore the data at your leisure, visit our visualization website where you can scroll through different recording sessions, look at neural activity during example trials, and see trial-based activity of single neurons: https://viz.internationalbrainlab.org

Do you have itchy fingers to run your models on this humongous dataset? We totally get it! Here you can find how to download the data using our API so you can fire up those computing clusters: https://int-brain-lab.github.io/iblenv/notebooks_external/data_release_brainwidemap.html

This was a collective effort of our stellar team, who all put in so much work to make this monumental achievement possible. Our collaboration consists of 22 PIs, 37 researchers, and 11 staff members who all worked tirelessly to bring these data to you, the community 👏🍾

Happy #MonDog!!

Ari is ready to play!

I keep seeing lots of long-time #fediverse users saying 'don't favourite posts it does nothing' but actually when you favourite my posts it makes me smile and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

This is a great idea and the ability to import these lists to Mastadon to follow everyone on them is so useful! #AcademicMastadon

Need to take someone to get groomed today.

I'm still laughing at the prom style photos they sent her home with last time.

We’re looking for in vivo rodent electrophysiologists interested in complex behaviour to come and work in beautiful Glasgow. Advert to appear shortly, but meanwhile, if you’re interested and will be at at #sfn2022, come and find me! (Both postdoc and tenured positions available)a

I wanted to advertise a postdoc position in beautiful Norwich, that is for 3+2 years.
We are looking for a bioinformatician, or someone who wants to become one. In the post we will investigate gut metagenomes using 3rd gen sequencing, deep learning, to investigate pan genomes and microbial adaptation, mostly using human gut time series of various host ailments.

Please retoot or send to interested parties, thanks!

We are recruiting lecturers in a wide range of topics in Biology including developmental/stem cell biology, #mechanobiology and single cell #omics approaches-come and join us! Deadline: 19th December 2022

#SfN22 #neuroscience Looking forward to this poster by Alex Wade and Dan Adams team at Neuralink this afternoon. Tetraplegic patients, who cannot move their arms, activate motor cortex when they attempt an arm movement but not when they imagine the movement. This work helps plan the location of an implant. https://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/10619/presentation/71222

New people, welcome to Mastodon and the Fediverse!

Here's how to get started:

1. Find some people to follow over on @FediFollows, and through Trunk (https://communitywiki.org/trunk)

2. Find out your Mastodon/Fediverse address so you can share it with friends (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/107248252715651564)

3. Invite people to join you on here by telling them to go to https://joinmastodon.org and click on "Get Started". It doesn't matter if they join a different server because the servers talk to each other (here's a bit more of an explanation https://mstdn.social/@feditips/107021461185874594)

4. Find out what the Fediverse is (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/107044096139091624)

5. Find out why Mastodon being on so many different servers/instances is a really good thing (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/107083735491993183)

6. If you see anything nasty, you can report it to your friendly server admin (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106540152842368591)

7. You can (sort of) verify your account if you own a website (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106274105538953001)

If you have any questions, @ me or DM me!

#MastoTips #FediTips #Mastodon

A few years ago I made this flow chart of which Mastodon posts end up in which timelines!

So, you can see how each instance will have a different local timeline, and even a slightly different federated timeline - and you can see why the federated timeline moves so much faster than the local one, too.

This is why it's important to boost good posts and use hashtags - the fediverse is fragmented and harder to search by nature.

Just joined and testing this new platform, time for an #introduction!

We are a #biochemistry and #structuralbiology laboratory based in #Pavia, #Italy.

#wemakeproteins and are fascinated by the #extracellular space: we study how #collagen contributes to the assembly of the #ECM and we perform #drugdiscovery studies on #enzymes of collagen #biosynthesis, plus we investigate various #ligand - #receptor #interactions leading to #signaling in humans and in insects.

Always open to #collaboration.
