#introduction

I'm a Software Engineer at @HHMI 's #Janelia Research Campus in Scientific Computing. Where I work on software related to microscopy where I mostly use #JuliaLang, #Java, and #Python. I'm interested in Open Science, Open Data, and Open Source Software.

I was formerly a postdoc in Cell Biology at #Northwestern and #UTSouthwestern and a graduate student in Systems Biology and Biophysics at #UTSW and #UCSD. I concentrated in Biological Chemistry and Mathematics at #UChicago.

‘Eat local’ is a common recommendation to reduce the carbon footprint of your diet.

But transportation makes up a very small amount of the greenhouse gas emissions from food.

*What* you eat is far more important than *where* your food traveled from.

Hello world (and universe)! I'm a #space journalist from #Canada who writes about #spaceflight, #rockets, #astronomy, #StarTrek, #NASA and whatever else is trending that day.

I recently got to talk to an #astronaut about cosplay, of all things. That was unexpected. https://www.space.com/european-female-space-station-commander-2001-cosplay

My favourite stories cover #diversity, #stem and other ways to make our universe a little bit more inclusive.

I am blundering about here on Mastodon as a beginner ... but believe in showing others that learning and growing at any age is a good thing. :)

In my spare time I enjoy #archaeology #history #libraries #gaming ... and I'm also a beginner #python coder, because why not.

Drop by and say hi!

Just re-read @xkcd@twitter.com color study, it is still comedy gold as well as (yes, i indeed just typed that despite ranting about it recently) super, super interesting! And, fun for lectures about color!

Data acquired and segmented at #HHMIJanelia by the Hess Lab, Saalfeld Lab, and CellMap Project Team led by Aubrey Weigel.

I have changed instances, so here is my #introduction again: I am a computer scientist, who used to work on #vfx in the film industry, and who now helps with #neuroscience and #cellbiology (#cellbio) research. If I may, I will repost a couple of items from my old instance to keep them alive.

Hello! A brief #introduction - I’m an Asst Prof at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. I study organizational principles of #neuralNetworks. We study #neuralCircuits underlying #motorControl, #sensoryIntegration, and #decisionMaking across species. We also develop methods for synapse-resolution #connectomics. Looking forward to learning more!
