Personally, it bothers me more than just a little that US journalists have stayed on a platform censuring journalism it does not like. I don't know why they continue to give him their content for free and prop him up.

No words. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/23/us/henry-berg-brousseau-transgender-activist-dead.html

Awesome! 🤩

The Dutch Universities and ICT infrastructure provider (SURF) are working on a pilot to provide Mastodon instances for the entire educational sector.

Oh great, just what we need.

New preprint for the lab! We introduce GelMap, a method enabling intrinsic calibration and deformation mapping for expansion microscopy.

Here's a belated #introduction post (which makes all my previous posts a cold open):

I am a theoretical biologist in the Department of Biology at UPenn. My research interests span social evolution across all species, including symbiosis, community ecology, animal behavior, cultural evolution, etc. I also am a Co-Editor of @ASNAmNat currently.

Enjoying mastodon, which has many (though not all -- yet) of what I liked about the bird site and little of the craziness (yet, maybe?).

Nikola Tesla holds a highly evacuated, gas-filled tube, powered by one of his high-frequency oscillator units. The one-amp tube operated without any connection to wires (“wireless energy”) over appreciable distances, which could have been greatly extended with more power. Exposure, two seconds with a lamp of 250 candlepower. circa 1898

New #instance means new #introduction
I am a #neurobiologist at the University of Magdeburg 
After a PhD @bccnberlin with Michael Brecht and a postdoc with Susana Lima at the Champalimaud Foundation I recently joined the institute of biology in Magdeburg as a tenured researcher and professor. 
My lab will study how neural circuits are at the interface between the multimodal environment and the homeostatic body in order to drive social and sexual behavior in mice.

New instance, new #Introduction! I’m a historian of #VastEarlyAmerica, finishing a book about #Genealogy as both statecraft and intimate work in 18thc British America. I’ve just marked my one yr anniversary as director & librarian of the great John Carter Brown #Library - where we are doing exciting work that feels important - and prof at Brown U. I blog at my website and post images of historical genealogy on my IG, Vernacular Genealogy. I’m part of an admin team for historians.social.

@JamesGleick
Inspiring! You inspired quite a few scientists, including at least 10 university professors peppered across different continents. And many still work with ideas in the space of complexity / dynamical systems. In fact, one of them, @PessoaBrain, just wrote his own book on a similar topic:

We don't talk much about the role that nonfiction books play in inspiring the next generation of scientists. Not just to pursue scientific careers but also the approaches they take with the questions. No doubt that this happens and it clearly happened with Chaos. A big thanks from all of us, @JamesGleick!
