Allow #myself to #introduction #myself.

I am a #basic neuroscientist and Associate Professor at the University of Washington, where my lab studies how the brain senses and moves the body (#proprioception #motorcontrol).

I will mainly be tooting about the #research and accomplishments of the scientists in my lab, new and old #neuroscience papers that incite me, and efforts to improve the rigor and equity of science. I may slip in the occasional #snowfly pic.

I hope to use #ScienceMastodon for discovering new scientific #manna and for unexpected interactions with #Scientists and #PseudoScientists alike.

Unlimited file size, everything NWB captures. They have a couple of terabyte-scale data sets. Perfect for V(T) data!

Switched from gradient descent to damped dynamics simulation in the Wigner crystal thing and now I can do crazy stuff like pluck individual particles in the lattice

Also the whole thing moves in a kind of cosmic way

Delighted to share that my first ever first-author paper is now out from Cell Reports! We started out with a gene, a behavioral phenotype, and no idea what was going on at the circuit level to link those things. Classic genetic methods (temporal-specific and cell-type-specific rescue) told us the gene acts acutely in neurons-- but which ones? We developed a computational method that ended up IDing a new projection to the decision-making circuit! https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(22)01678-3

Big welcome to @anneurai!

Anne is an Assistant Professor in Leiden (Netherlands). Let's all celebrate her substantial contributions to understanding how we make decisions:

Anne is also been part of the heart and soul of an exciting team science experiment in brain research, the @InternationalBrainLab

Finally, let's applaud Anne's contributions to Green Neuroscience. She continuously offers us all action items for stopping climate change: https://anneurai.net/green-neuroscience/

An examination of over 1 million funding proposals to the National Science Foundation from 1996 to 2019 reveals that white principal investigators are consistently funded at higher rates than most non-white PIs and relative funding rates for white PIs have been increasing. https://elifesciences.org/articles/83071?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic_features

"Many researchers do not share their data and code simply because they do not know how. The process of archiving data and code is not always straightforward. In one survey of biologists, 46% of respondents were unaware of how to organize data in a presentable and usable way, and 33% reported that not knowing which online hosting service, or repository, to use was a barrier to sharing data and code "

Hello world! We are Open Ephys. We make #opensource hardware and software for #neuroscience research. We are a worker cooperative (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worker_cooperative). We want to make scientific tools available to anybody who might want to use them.

🚨JOB ALERT🚨
My lab at University of Maryland-Baltimore is hiring a postdoc!

Consider applying if you are interested in cellular regulators of excitability #ionchannels, mouse brains🧠, CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing 🧬✂️, and behaviors 🐭
(more info here: https://thejuarezlab.com)!

We are dedicated to the promotion of diversity and inclusivity in science.

We can also connect at #ACNP2022 in December!

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.

Everyone who wants to be known by the community should make a post with #DevBio or #DevBiol hashtags.
These will be seen across servers, making it easier to find each other

#introduction Hoping to connect to #scientists to develop a community that celebrates success, commiserates in defeats, supports EDI initiatives in #stem , and shares #LOTR memes. #neuroscience

Ok here we go #introduction #neuroscience

I am a PhD candidate, currently writing my dissertation on how populations of neurons in the ferret auditory cortex represent sound in the context of historical stimuli.

Think "tree bark" vs "dog bark", context is everything. While the example is semantic, the context modulation appears with more primitive A1 representations.

While I am not poking brains with neuropixels or taming pythons, I am whacking friends with swords (HEMA, see picture)

Where are all the #DevBio people at? I want to meet you all!
