short #introduction
Neuroscientist fascinated by neuromodulation and cortical learning. Big on open science! Also love nature (i.e., wildlife 🐛 ) and painting strange pictures.

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.

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!

John von Neumann’s wife, Klára Dán, asked him to put a picture of an elephant in his book “Theory of Games and Economic Behavior”. He complied, hiding one in plain sight in a set theoretic diagram.

There’s reason to believe Klára’s code was the first modern-style code ever to run on a computer.

You can dive into Klára’s life and work by listening to season 2 of “Lost Women of Science” https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e1-the-grasshopper/id1590670779?i=1000555799822

"C. Hartgerink (Liberate Science GmbH) also contributed to this work and was originally included as a co-author. He opted to withdraw from the author list because this piece could not be published under an open access licence."

I guess I could tag him here, but maybe just to save him the stress I won't.

This is a great way of raising awareness of this issue to people & policy makers. The publisher is choosing to be obstructive.

Bravo.

I realized I never did an #introduction!

I'm Grace Lindsay. I'm a new Asst. Prof in #Psychology and #DataScience at New York University. I wrote a popular science book on how & why we use #math to study the #brain.

In my research in my lab I hope to model how #attention works in the brain. I'm also separately working on applications of #MachineLearning to #ClimateChange!

Never thought Elon Musk would do so much for the adoption of a decentralised infrastructure…

Please Elon, can you buy Elsevier ?

Hi #ScienceMastodon #neuroscience #drosophila #insects ! just migrated and looking for people to follow...

What's an image made of?

There are many correct answers.

But the most fascinating one is: << sines & cosines >>

Thank you Konrad. Now that we know where the buttons are and we'll all boosted the intros, let's science.

Here's one we have not yet resolved. Let's say I want to use the word 'Emergent' in the title of my next paper. What better be true abut my system? (eg Is it whole is bigger than sum? How would I show?)

Did Hopfield get it right?

#introduction

I'm Sibylle, assistant Prof in the data mining group at TU Eindhoven. I have a thing for matrix factorization and the theory it provides in the context of clustering and the general interpretation of latent spaces. I try to use this knowledge to improve the theory of ML, currently with a focus of DL and uncertainty in AI.

I'll toot for promotion of good work and the occasional rant, as it befits my German resolute nature.

Hello #ScienceMastodon!

I'm a microscopist and image analyst at the BIOP imaging center at EPFL in Switzerland.

I'll be sharing mostly nerd stuff about #ImageJ/#FijiSc. Can't wait to see if the scientific mastodon community takes off!

So, let's get serious: can we share videos here? Let's find out:
