In honour of tonight's gorgeous #FullMoon, here is one of my favourite Japanese #ukiyoe prints: 'Bat Before the Moon' - Biho Takashi, 1910.

The Department of Defense doesn't want this, but some want to go after vaccination for personal, political gain. This is a non-issue manufactured by bad people.

The lab is hiring a 3 year #postdoc for a new project aiming to use HUGE language datasets from digital therapy to (i) understand fundamentals of depression and its temporal dynamics and (ii) use these data to measure and predict responsiveness to therapy.

For modeling complex behavior, I've been really excited about frameworks coming out of computer animation, such as Zhang et al 2018 "Mode-adaptive neural networks for quadruped motion control" https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3197517.3201366

The architecture and training protocol are relatively simple, but produce complex and qualitatively accurate behavior!

Of course this kind of network is not biologically plausible, but I think you can start from it and add more and more biology while preserving the ability to model complex motion. Combining this kind of model but using one of the models in this thread as a base could work well, for instance, or (as in my work) adding more realistic sensors and actuators for the network and seeing the limit of movement.

Hi all! I'm an Assistant Professor at Dickinson College in the chemistry department. I make new bioluminescent proteins, probes, and tools. I'm interested in better ways to teach Organic Chemistry. I saw that @bertozzi was here (my academic grandmother via Jenn Prescher, lol) and decided to join! Excited to become a part of science mastodon!

“But I’m #newhere / will you show me around”
(Bill Callahan, 2006)

Ok, after looking around a bit, finally time for proper #introduction

I am a #biochemist and former #researcher, still fond of #ubiquitin and #cellcycle stuff!
I work now as full-time #LifeScience #editor for @embojournal, interested in #scicomm #reproducibility #researchintegrity

I may not directly toot about them, but other things I am looking for here are #cycling, #photography, #outdoors, #languages, #history, #music…

in Switzerland

The Federal health authority has mistakenly declared only half of the COVID-19 hospitalisations of the past 2 years.
Almost one in 100 swiss has been hospitalized due to covid19 so far.

Here we go, it’s #introduction time:

I’m currently a second year #neuroscience #phd student at the University of Pennsylvania! Broadly interested in #vision and #computation with my current research studying higher-level vision in the #treeshrew with the goal of learning about visual #development 🧠

I also love talking/reading/posting about #environmentalism and #sustainability 🌎, hanging out with my dog 🐕‍🦺, and playing soccer ⚽️

Looking forward to (re)connecting with other scientists on here!
