#MedMastodon and #MedEd folks, I need your help: What journal do you see a dual research/advocacy paper like the one below being published?

I have a bunch of medical students and mentors who quantified (lack of) #LGBTQIA representation in preclerkship medical education curricula and also 3 ongoing years of IRB-approved incoming student surveys about gender identity, sexual orientation, attitudes, career choices, and knowledge about LGBTQIA+ health topics. Along with recorded advocacy efforts and a whole booklet of inclusion suggestions made to block directors.

The overall intent of this paper is to make it easier for other students to follow and repeat at their institutions and track over time how increased inclusion may alter student knowledge after they finish preclerkship and move on to clinical years.

Where should this live? Would it be better of as 2 papers (student surveys separate from curriculum)?

Please RT: #TenureTrack faculty position in #Genetics at University of San Francisco.

They are seeking "candidates with research programs utilizing experimental and/or molecular approaches to understand the genetics of model organisms (or emerging model organisms), including microbes, plants, or animals."

#introduction

Hello Science Mastodon I am an experimental physics PhD in the field of #activematter and #biophysics using #fluiddynamics #softmatter #StatMech and #microscopy.

Topics:
* Organelle transport in plant cells, slimemolds and algae
* swimming and propulsion in complexfluids
* mechanosensing of bioluminescent algae
* glass transition in living systems

I love exploring 'weird' organisms and their dynamics.

Let's make #ScienceMastodon a new home!

How does the genome orchestrate the development of mulicellular organisms? Which mutations are causing disease?

#introduction

I'm a scientist at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg. To answer such questions we develop tools for #CRISPR genome engineering. Our main system is the fruit fly #Drosophila.

While we mostly focus on inactivating genes, we sometimes also 'tag' genes to make their products visible. Such as in the pic below.

Hello science mastodon!

I'm Elise Cutts, a science #journalist covering mostly #geology #biology and #space science thanks to my past life as a geomicrobiologist at #MIT

Besides #scicomm folks, I'd love to connect with others who share my nerdy loves of #language and #medieval stuff. Currently based in Graz, #Austria and would love to connect more to the #German speaking scicomm community too.

See you around! #introduction

Deadline tomorrow! We are hiring postdocs for two projects. One seeks to reveal how neural activity is structured in brainwide patterns to support diverse behaviors in mice. The other aims to relate the activity of a single neuron with that of thousands of presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons across the mouse cortex (w Alipasha Vaziri and Federico Rossi). We are interested in people with diverse backgrounds, not only those with specific experience. https://tinyurl.com/CortexlabPostdoc. #neuroscience

#Postdoc position is open https://www.ee.iee.unibe.ch with the incredible Katie Peichel, studying phenotypic evolution in nine whole lake experimental #evolution populations of #stickleback

Something more lively! No video embedding here so let's go for a GIF. Mmmh OK there are some strange rules, less than 10 MB, no 1920x1080... Here's a living neuron expressing tagged actin with tickling dendritic spines:

Let's start with a pic from one of our microscopes! Neuron expressing tagged actin (orange) and stained for map2 (blue), spinning disk confocal image 🔬

Hi! I'm the Director of Communications at ORCID. If you're in research, you may know of us: we uniquely identify & connect researchers & innovators to their affiliations and contributions across disciplines, borders, and time.

I have a long history in #SciComms. When I'm not doing that, I'm working on my first novel or planning my next concert adventure.

I love ORCID's values of Openness, Trust, and Inclusivity. I'm also keen on kindness & collegiality which is why I'm here. 😀

Introduction time! ☺️
My name is Florian and I’m a computer scientist and a fully fledged nerd. 🤓

Life pushed me towards the life sciences and now I ❤️ to help others to better analyze their data. 🔬

All we do is #opensource. #CARE #Noise2Void #cryoCARE #FijiSc #napari #AI4Life bioimage.io et al.

I’m so proud of my amazing and amazingly colorful team of #RSEs, and #BioimageAnalysts.

Guess I should also mention: I love #running 🏃‍♂️ and pottery 🥣.

#introduction

Hello #ecoevo world!! I'm a philosopher of biology who collaborates with scientists on conceptual work for interdisciplinary and public-facing projects in #evodevo & #ecoevodevo.

My project areas include #nicheconstruction, host-microbiome immunological interactions #holobionts, & the extended evolutionary synthesis #EES. I'm currently working on the proto-cognitive role of the gut complex & a #scicomm proj on inheritance #Mendel200. Also work comms for #KLIAustria :)

My students often struggle with selection bias and measurement error bias in linear regression models. So I have made a couple of Shiny apps to help visualize these concepts.
Selection bias: https://apps.biostat.au.dk/stefan/selection/
Measurement error: https://apps.biostat.au.dk/stefan/measurementerror/

Feel free to use them in your teaching #rstats #datascience #stats

Code is available at my GitHub.

First post here, so be nice

Did you know that if you capitalize each word in a multi-word hashtag, #ScreenReaders can read them as words, but if you leave them lowercase, they can't? Well, now you know! So, for #accessibility, please capitalize words when there's more than one in a hashtag.
