Don't forget that Janelia's Computation & Theory area is looking for both [Senior] Group Leader candidates (https://www.janelia.org/our-research/our-labs/group-leaders) and Theory Fellows (https://www.janelia.org/our-research/overview/theory-fellows)! Are you working on interesting computational and theoretical approaches to address fundamental biological questions? Talk to us!

Our work showing that the locus coeruleus broadcasts unsigned visuomotor prediction errors to facilitate cortical sensorimotor learning is now on bioRxiv!
Please check it out, would love feedback! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.08.515698v1

👋 #introduction. I run a lab at Trinity College Dublin that focuses on understanding #mentalhealth problems, from #brain, to the environment, to the dark arts of subjective experience. I think our samples sizes have been way too small for far too long and so we spend a lot of time trying to scale up our studies using the Internet. We have an app to do this (https://www.neureka.ie/) that has 18,000 users who donate their time to advance brain health science. Also: #networks #habits #compulsivity

Ok, I joined. What's the physiological relevance ?

#introduction I'm a neuroscientist at Oxford and UCL. I spend most of my time thinking about the front of the brain and how it controls behaviour. Sometimes this leads me backwards, but never really further back than hippocampus. I am also deputy editor at eLife so you can shout at me for that if you like.

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 🥣.

I posted this on twitter a while ago, but perhaps you might be interested....

You can identify 100 #bumblebee species with AI. Just cut out the bee image and upload it. I tried some pics---wow, it even identified #Bombus deuteronymus (although it didn’t tell me its subspecies name “maruhanabachi”). Fast & accurate! #pollinators #identification #biodiversity #bees

Currently seeking guest speakers for our local #GirlsWhoCode club here at Michigan! Speakers are typically #WomenInSTEM who discuss their career paths and take questions from high school students. Presentations are about 10-15 minutes plus time for questions. Club is virtual so anyone can be our guest speaker! DM me if interested! #WomenInScience #Science #ScienceMigration

Bothered by ticks? Check this out! Ticks (and mosquitoes) really dont like nootkatone, the chemical that gives grapefruit its distinct smell. This will likely be the next big "bug" repellent on the market, and we are trying to figure out how it works. Love it when behavioral data looks like this!

#introduction

Hi everyone!

I am an Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Biology at #HopeCollege (#PUI). I study #Behavior and #Neuroimmunology in mice and humans. My research uses #drugs of abuse (i.e. #morphine and #alcohol) and #space radiation to probe how peripheral #immune responses impact #cognition . I #teach and #mentor #undergraduates (#STEM) how to think about #science and challenge them to question HOW they know content. Here are some other topics/tags that I am fond of: #drugsofabuse #spaceradiation #learningandmemory #adultneurogenesis #microglia #macrophage #mentalhealth

Europe has just experienced its warmest October on record, with temperatures nearly 2°C above the 1991-2020 reference period ♨️

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

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:

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.

OK hi time for a hashtag-athon #introduction post.

I run a behavioral #neuroscience lab in #boston and care a lot about #sabv in basic research and #equity in #academia.

In other realms, just an unapologetic and enthusiastic dilettante. I have an extensive home bar and like making #cocktails. I get excited about #fonts. I am learning to play the #drums. I like taking pictures (#photography) of buildings with my phone. #midcentury design (any medium), yes please.

I really loved Twitter.

Hey #neuroscience #neurotech #neurodon

I'm very excited about a truly distributed community for #neuroscience.

Let's make it easier for new folks (and #twitterexodus #twittermigration) folks to plug into the #neurodon community!
