As part of #Introductions, here are some of my publicly accessible teaching materials!

My #OpenScience course "Psychology's Credibility Revolution" (including syllabus, recorded lectures, slides, and in-class activities) is at: https://tinyurl.com/JS-credibility. (trailer below) 1/2

If you see this toot (yeah this one right here), can you boost it for me? It will help my new server federate with the wider Mastodon network. 🚀 🙏

I tried to post some science content today. But the server kept garbling the gifs I was trying to post. Here's a meme instead.

Mornin’. Didn’t realise a formal introduction was de rigueur on here - my bad. I’m the Bee Guy - the founder of the first and only native wild bee sanctuary on the planet - The Bee Sanctuary of Ireland. Not for profit social enterprise 24/7 365 advocating for our native wild bees. Not about honey bees - they’re fine. Only on here for the #bees & #planet. Heart on my sleeve, head in the stars, feet in a muddy puddle. Big plans. Need your support. Thoughtful brave disruption. Language matters.1/n

#introduction I am a professor at Penn and also co-director of the CIFAR Learning in Machines and Brains program. I like to think about neuroscience, AI, and science in general. Neuromatch. Recently, much of my thinking is about Rigor in science and I just started leading a large NIH funded initiative community for rigor (C4R) that aims at teaching scientific rigor.

My interests are broad: Causality, ANNs, Logic of Neuroscience, Neurotech, Data analysis, AI, community, science of science

Psychology lecturers: If you're thinking about developing undergraduate modules in open science/research integrity, please see our collection of 16 lectures (and paired workshops) delivered to 1st year undergraduates. https://osf.io/km34v/wiki/PSYC123-Research%20Integrity%20and%20Open%20Science%201/

I'm very interested in the question: what can you infer about dynamics of deep brain structures from the measurable dynamics of surface-measurable brain structures.

To that end, the translation of results like Takens Embedding Theorem is *crucial*. src: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Color-online-Schematic-representation-of-the-measurement-process-and-reconstruction-of_fig4_51595532

This is an interesting and refreshingly thorough article:

The Sexist #Pseudoscience at the Heart of #Biology

"Males were the main event and became the model organism—the default from which the female deviated. Female animals, with their 'messy hormones,' were the outliers, distracting tangents to the leading narrative, and didn’t warrant the same level of scientific scrutiny...The resulting data gap then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.“

Formal logic allows us to describe metatheories in use in cognitive computational neuroscience, and helps us spot formal/inferential fallacies!

A little disappointed that we're using #AcademicMastodon. #AcademicFedi or #AcademicToots when #Macademia was RIGHT THERE.

#introduction I’m Maria, I am a scientist who draws cartoons. I’m a bit like Batman, except I’m not rich and all those others things he has going on.

kinda sad to hear such resistance to the idea of using CWs liberally and considerately.

I hope our fedi communities continue to encourage ourselves to have a different culture from Big Corporate Social Media, where we actually act like communities of people who take care of each other as human beings, rather than resources to vomit your opinions at for fame.

I never did an official #introduction when I came over to Mastodon!

👋 Hi I’m Chelsea, I have a PhD in Computational and Data Science and am an NTT prof teaching mostly Data Science and Computer Science but if I had to put myself in a box I’d call myself a Statistician🧮

I do a lot of SciComm through memes, pedagogical materials, TikToks, and jokes. My goal is to teach stats rigorously WITHOUT gatekeeping🥰

This is one of my favorite kinds of stories — call it the course correction. Especially powerful given how fully this idea has seeped into the zeitgeist. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/07/science/trees-fungi-talking.html

@faduda

Hello!

Your message reminds me of this from mastodon.help

Anyone here got advice for PhD applications? Struggling with the personal statement @academicchatter @academicsunite

As someone who basically got into #neuroscience by accident (my original background is mathematics and physics) I constantly feel a bit of #impostersyndrom due to my lack of biological/neurological knowledge. Specifically I find it quite challenging to get a global overview on neuroscience. It seems to me that the field is super vast and hard to summarize. Any source suggestions to start getting a better global view on neuroscience?

Please RT (re toot??) I am hiring a Lab Manager. The position will work closely with graduate students, postdocs, and an international group of visiting lab collaborators. The position will work at the interface of the development of lab funding efforts, lab data collection and logistics, and assistance of management data collection and curated databases.There are also opportunities to assist with data analysis, and public outreach.

Please contact me directly for any questions instructions
