What math do neuroscientists need to know?
A highlight of #SFN2022 was Ella Batty's answer to this question. She showed off an incredible math for neuroscientists course she has developed at Harvard with open materials (https://ebatty.github.io/MathToolsforNeuroscience/) and discussed her amazing work with Neuromatch Academy (https://compneuro.neuromatch.io/)
Her SFN slides are here: https://osf.io/s94b2
I have collected some tips on how to write a scientific paper. I know that many people are way better than me at it and that there is a whole genre on this. Still, some have found these tips useful. If you are interested, or you think others would benefit, here you go:

We're an #OpenAccess not-for-profit journal that publishes and reviews #research in the life and biomedical sciences.
We want to improve the way research is practised and shared in part by working with early-career researchers #ECR and supporting #OpenSource technology.
We also just announced our new publishing model that we hope will tackle an overreliance on journal titles and publishing decisions as quality measures for science and scientists.
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.

"Neuroscientists accept foundationally that the brain represents every distinct thought, feeling, and behavior as some sort of neural ripple: a sad thought must at some level differ from a happy one. But we are very far from identifying such ripples in a human brain, and farther still from understanding how to intervene at that level to shift the balance from a sad ripple to a happy one."
