This is a photo of a happy, fulfilled scientist, who has some colossal achievements to her credit.

Meet Nathalie Josso (1934-2022), the French pediatric endocrinologist who isolated & named the anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) that differentiates sex in the fetus, studied intersex, & much more besides.

I've just published her Wikipedia page:

After prolonged drought and repeated heat waves in Spain, early torrential rains leave climatologists puzzled.

After weeks of stifling heat, caused by more intense and frequent heat waves than usual, and against a backdrop of persistent severe drought, this "isolated high-level depression" has in turn been described as "exceptional" by climate experts, who point to the possible effects of climate change.

Banging the big drum in 1631! This is a Protestant mocking and warning of Catholic #propaganda and military recruitment during the #ThirtyYearsWar.

This #broadside shows, among other details, a very big drum that is played by Monks and Jesuits (on the left). On the right is the #Devil in a military uniform - and other clerics with the ready war chest.

#MediaHistory knows: the conflicts between 1618-48 filled the newspapers of the time, and inspired lots of media battles. #Histodons

In a historic judgment in South Africa the High Court in Pretoria ruled in favor of the Health Justice Initiative making contracts between the government and major vaccine manufacturers public. The companies, along with GAVI have a lot of explaining to do. As the report here says: This should never happen again. It is unconscionable, imperial and unethical. #COVID #Vaccines #GAVI #johnsonandjohnson #HJI # https://healthjusticeinitiative.org.za/pandemic-transparency/

On jargon - is it useful?

Is it necessary and useful for scientists to say "mnemonic" to refer to "memory" and "affect" to talk about "emotion"?

In other words, given that everyone understand emotion and mood and no one really understands what "affect" is until you are really deep into things, why is the term affect useful and important at all? And should we reserve it for deep dives (as opposed to public facing websites and such)? And does anyone call themselves an "emotion researcher?" or a "mood researcher?"

On a completely different subject: foreigners who bought a house in Japan! What are some things you wish you had known in advance?
Also if you're married please mention if you did everything yourself or if your Japanese spouse did most of the paperwork.

My first post in Mastodon!
I'm Nosrat, I'm doing my PhD in computational neuroscience in university of Geneva.
I’m working on understanding underlying dynamics via direct measurement of neural spiking under the supervision of Timothée Proix.
A repost would be amazing as I’m finding my network here in Mastodon.
