Please retoot 🤣!

📢 My group is actively recruiting new PhD students interested in building interactive tools to study and improve urban accessibility. We're particularly interested in candidates who have background in data science, GIS, and/or computer vision. See: https://jonfroehlich.github.io for more!

Together, let's transform the future of urban access! 🏙👩‍🦯👩‍🦽👩‍🦼🛴🚴‍♂️

IMHO the most complete and remarkable site for #womeninscience #womeninSTEM. 1432 portraits !

An extraordinary source of information. Only in spanish but very easy to browse and understand with an online translator (such as DeepL translate)

Hi! 👋
It's time for an #introduction here on #neuroscience mastodon.
I'm Hannah Haberkern and I study flies to learn more about how animals navigate. I'm especially interested in visual orientation and the role of plasticity in #navigation. Currently I'm a postdoc at HHMI Janelia in Vivek Jayaraman's lab.

I'll take this new start as an opportunity to start sharing a bit more #pigeon and #quilting content. Here's me with a semi-recent quilt finish, a quilt that's in progress, and my Boab.

I have an important request.

Bad actors will soon figure out - if they haven't already - that setting up impersonations of important organizations now will allow them to set off an explosion of chaos and confusion at a time of their choosing.

So if you run an account for an organization, please set up link verification between your Mastodon account profile and your organization's website.

If not, please boost.

Instructions are here under "Link Verification":

Deadline to apply for the HHMI Hanna H. Gray Fellows Program is 12/7/2022 https://www.hhmi.org/programs/hanna-h-gray-fellows-program
Please apply - this is a great program!

RIP Fred Brooks, whose works profoundly influenced me, like so many others. "The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination." #FredBrooks #SoftwareEngineering #RSE

Sad news from UNC Chapel Hill Computer Science — Fred P. Brooks, the founder and long-time chair of the department (and a major influence on my professional outlook) passed away a few hours ago.

RS-FISH was just released as open access article in @naturemethods

RS-FISH is a user-friendly software for accurate spot detection that is applicable to smFISH experiments, spatial transcriptomics, and spatial genomics. The approach enables fast spot detection in even very large volumetric datasets.

This article nicely summarizes how NeuronBridge can be used to go from #connectome circuit to #fly strain by enabling access to large, open data sets. #drosophila #neuroscience #OpenScience

From the outset, the bioRxiv vision has been to decouple dissemination and peer review. It's a sign of how far things have come that there'll be an entire HHMI meeting on preprint review (Dec 1-2) - which you can stream https://www.janelia.org/you-janelia/conferences/recognizing-preprint-peer-review
