‘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!

Neuro-evo conference at HHMI Janelia on May 15-18, 2023. Join us for the third edition!

Application deadline: Jan 27 (11:59 p.m. EST) 2023.

Apply here: https://www.janelia.org/you-janelia/conferences/neuro-evo-a-comparative-approach-to-cracking-circuit-function-iii

"Historically, with the study of the most convenient animal models —from the giant axon of the squid and the lobster's stomatogastric circuits to Aplysia's synapses and C. elegans' circuits — neuroscientists revealed some of the operating principles of the nervous system, which were then found to apply broadly across phyla. The third instalment of this meeting will once again bring together neuroscientists working on a broad diversity of animal models in an effort to compare circuits across phyla as a means to crack their function."

We have an exceptional opportunity at our center for a new group leader at VIB in Leuven. We are looking for a new colleague who wants to use computational methods to investigate molecular and/or cellular aspects of neurobiology. This position not only comes with substantial and renewable core funding and start-up package, but it is also linked to a tenure track position at KU Leuven.

More information on our center can be found on our website https://cbd.sites.vib.be/en.

Deadline to apply for the HHMI Hanna H. Gray Fellows Program is 12/7/2022 https://www.hhmi.org/programs/hanna-h-gray-fellows-program
