#introduction: I am a cognitive neuroscientist at the Ernst Strüngmann Institute in Frankfurt, Germany. I like structure and beauty and somehow that draws me to #oscillations in the brain, mainly recorded with #electrophysiology.

when I have time, I like to make animations of concepts related to that: http://mnemai.org/demos

maybe starting on a new platform will allow for more playfulness again, which I enjoyed at lot in the beginning on twitter. 🙂

#CognitiveNeuroscience

Hi, all! I'm a professor at U Oregon, and I love evolution and ecology, population genetics and genoimc data, spatial data and spatial processes, and using simulation to learn stuff. I also spend a bunch of time teaching statistics.

I'm aiming to do a little social media break, but we'll see what happens!

COVID-19 is robbing Latino community of a secret weapon behind their success: grandparents

I’m remembering that @stephenfry was a bright beacon in my earliest Twitter experience. How lovely to see him here now. https://mastodonapp.uk/@stephenfry/109399367443448303

When I get to 100,000 followers on Mastodon I will officially bring Mastodons back from extinction.

Boost and favorite this post to help make this happen ASAP.

👋 OK, slowly learning Mastodon norms! My #introduction: I'm Kirsten. I'm a postdoc at @reutersinstitute and a senior researcher with the Geena Davis Institute for Gender in Media. I use lots of methods to study #journalism and #politicalcommunication, with a focus on morality, identity, and their implications for how people feel about and engage with politics and news.

💟 Things I love: reading and talking about reading on #bookstagram, my golden retriever Darcy, and exploring #oxford!

Just your irregular/occasional reminder that I maintain a list of #ScientificWriting #Writing resources here: https://scientistseessquirrel.wordpress.com/writing-resources/. Always happy to have folks leave their favourite additions in the Replies.

Applications for the Society for Developmental Biology Choose Development! Program are open! Send your people our way, and RT for maximum reach. This is a fantastic (paid!) opportunity for URMs, First-Gen and Disabled People.

New #CRISPR evidence - from the Doudna and Banfield labs here at the @igisci - to sustain Darwin's timeless quote from the Origin of Species (came out on this day in 1859):
“There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; ... from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”

Wild bats in Asia: “… we identified five viral species that are likely to be pathogenic to humans or livestock, including a novel recombinant SARS-like coronavirus that is closely related to both SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV, with only five amino acid differences between its receptor-binding domain sequence and that of the earliest sequences of SARS-CoV-2” Preprint: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.23.517609v1

#introduction

I am enjoying reading lots of different introductions over the last days so I will hop on the train as well and introduce myself! 👋

I am a PhD student at the #neuroscience for motivation, action, and desire lab working with @nbkroemer 🧠

I am broadly interested in #decisionmaking and in my PhD I am incorporating a metabolic perspective to understand how the #gutbrainaxis influences neural communication, motivation and effort. 🏋️‍♂️

Many psychiatric disorders come along with both motivational and metabolic alterations so the gut-brain perspective might help us to better understand and treat disorders like #depression #anhedonia 🎯

Mostly here for all the diverse science 💡🤩
