Reminder for those in the US to vote today!
You can look up your polling location and sample ballot here: https://www.vote.org/ .
20 states + DC allow you to register and vote at the same time: https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/same-day-registration.aspx
Bonus! You get a sticker. My county has stickers with a cow and grapes and Dulles airport and an artichoke (I think??)!
Don't forget to bring your iD!

Tip 1: Use hashtags. There's no algorithm to suggest followers or shove posts into your feed in the hopes you follow someone.
Tip 2: Boost (re-post) toots liberally. *You* are the algorithm.
Tip 3: Use CW (content warnings / content wrappers) to discuss politics, the meta.
Tip 4: To create "threads", make the first post public and each reply "unlisted" to prevent clogging up your instance's feed.
Tip 5: Provide text descriptions, even just basic ones, when attaching photos or media.
Tip 6: Use the "report" features for moderating trolls so your admins can take action.
I helped with the software for #Unity3D. It's a loosely coupled toolkit, designed to be reusable for other studies:
Researchers in #neuroscience have been doing animal studies in virtual reality for more than two decades. But to someone from another field, it still seems amazing, especially when the equipment is tiny, for a participant the size of a fly.
During the summer, Hannah Haberkern and Shivam Chitnis from #HHMIJanelia published a preprint on #drosophila navigation, using #VR to simulate naturalistic visual environments:
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.
I made these videos with the neuVid system, built on #blender3d:

I designed it for #neuroscience, but it's looking promising for #cellbiology.
