Is this how you toot? 📯

I'm Lauren, Ph.D, former journal editor (PLOS Bio), podcast host (Bio Eats World), and sci comm specialist. I just started my own company (LR Bio) to help biotechs tell their science stories.

I'm always down to delve into the mysteries inherent in the vastness of biology!

#introduction #followfriday

Hi everyone--I'm Ami and I'm part of the #TwitterMigration. Still figuring this place out but it seems friendly, which is both delightful and disconcerting. I post about books, politics, repro rights, witches, Jewish stuff, and my dog. I'll try not to knock things over but I can't promise anything. #Introduction

Happy It's #flyday Friday! Why is 11/18 fly day? Because this is when good old w1118 was discovered! Hear it from the man himself, Gerry Rubin:

Said farewell to twitter this morning. Account closed. Posting and following #science and #cryoEM news here only.

Unbelievable, multiview-reconstruction & BigStitcher have finally lost their Imglib1-dependency! And all processing is now virtual thus scaling to larger volumes ... @herrsaalfeld

Happy Fly Day to all who celebrate!

My group is recruiting Flatiron Research Fellows! 
Our interests include: theory development + data analysis with neural manifolds, and theory of neural networks.

Neuro interactions with Flatiron CCN, NYU Center for Neural Science, Machine Learning interactions with NYU Center for Data Science.

Hi everyone. We’re #Co_Biologists, a not-for-profit #publisher dedicated to inspiring the #biology community:

- We publish five #journals: @Dev_journal @J_Cell_Sci @J_Exp_Biol @DMM_Journal & @BiologyOpen
- We facilitate scientific #meetings & provide #grants for #researchers
- We run three #community sites: @the_node @preLights @focalplane_jcs
- We are committed to #OpenAccess
- We have initiatives to support early-career researchers #ECRs

#Introduction Part 2:
My lab invented the open-source software CellProfiler and the imaging assay Cell Painting and we now focus on using our machine learning and deep learning skills for image-based profiling, to accelerate drug discovery and functional genomics. Our research led to the founding of Recursion, a clinical-stage techbio powered largely by the information in cell images.

I recommend this article "DEI conversations: more than a box-ticking exercise" by @@felicitydavis2@twitter.com
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41580-022-00565-9
I hope we can take her message to heart of *not* being incremental in our DEI work, just as we don't want to be incremental in our research. It reminded me of this post from @mekkaokereke https://fediscience.org/@mekkaokereke@mastodon.cloud/109359450386255369
about finding the write framing for change that fits an organization's culture -- this seemed like a convincing framework for researchers!

#WomenInScience are recommended to 'not apologize a lot'.

A lot of issues would resolve themselves if #MenInScience apologized for their mistakes more.

Recognizing that you made a mistake, or that you don't know something, or behaved in a poor fashion and apologizing is not a problem. It tells me that you have the critical capability to introspect and understand what impact you have on others. It tells me that you care about doing #science right, that you want to learn.

... and this cheat sheet on curve fitting, by XKCD (on Masto?)...
https://m.xkcd.com/2048/

#Social #bees, e.g., #Apis and #Bombus, have larger #foraging ranges than #solitary bees, because bigger bees have greater flight abilities, and also because bees from greater colonies need to travel further to avoid competition with their colony members.

I've been sitting on this paper from @ScottishWaddell@twitter.com and @ManuPerisse@twitter.com because y'all know MB neuron names give me anxiety. But it's illustrated so well you don't need the names! Flies use both aversive and reward-coding DANs to judge relative value. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2022.08.058

This article nicely summarizes how NeuronBridge can be used to go from #connectome circuit to #fly strain by enabling access to large, open data sets. #drosophila #neuroscience #OpenScience

RS-FISH was just released as open access article in @naturemethods

RS-FISH is a user-friendly software for accurate spot detection that is applicable to smFISH experiments, spatial transcriptomics, and spatial genomics. The approach enables fast spot detection in even very large volumetric datasets.

#introduction I'm a scientist at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK. Our group works on developing new #microscopes and #instruments for #StructuralBiology, especially #CryoEM. All the problems we work on are biological, but often turn into physics and then engineering and computation before being solved. A diversity of ideas, people, expertise and talents are the key to making it happen.

#Postdoc position to investigate cGAS-STING-dependent signaling in drosophila. A three-year postdoc position starting in spring 2023 with Jean-Luc Imler and 🐘krin_meignin@drosophila.social at IBMC in Strasbourg (France). #immunity #drosophila #virus
