Hell yeah, mechanical numpad.

Hello World
An #introduction : I'm an Assistant Professor of #neuroscience at #BrownUniversity studying the cross-species neural bases of non-motor and cognitive sequences (e.g., how do we keep track of the sequence of tasks in making a cup of coffee). We use fMRI and TMS in humans, and fMRI and electrophysiology in animals with a current focus on on the frontal cortex.

I am an advocate and supporter of #WomenInSTEM. If anyone is interested in joining us (we're looking to grow our team) please see the lab website.

I'm looking forward to exploring conversation in this new space!

Just so we are clear, Masking protects not only you but people like Jamie Raskin, who will now be immunocompromised due to cancer treatment. Masks should be the norm in our very sick, very contagious world. Covid and the RSV are exploiting the vulnerable 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. These viruses my not kill you but they do more permanent damage to your body each time you contract them.

Maybe too niche but... I'm looking for book recommendations by Native authors on water rights/issues in the Eastern US. Authors or book recommendations appreciated.
Please boost.

@emilymbender There is a demand for low-background steel, steel produced before the nuclear tests mid century, for use in Geiger counters. They produce it from scavenging ships sunk during world war one, as it's the only way they can be sure there is no radiation.

The same is going to happen for internet data, only archives pre-2022 will be usable for sociology research and the like as the rest will be contaminated by AI nonsense. Absolute travesty.

I'm assuming we're all agreed that the quote of the year is:

"I need ammunition, not a ride."

A wild story with copyright and academic publishing implications: https://mssprovenance.blogspot.com/2022/12/nobody-cares-about-your-blog.html

“A mild or even an asymptomatic case of #COVID can cause reservoirs of some viruses you’ve previously battled to reactivate, potentially leading to symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome—a condition that resembles long COVID, according to a recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Immunology.”

Fission is in the news, but few recognize that a woman physicist was behind the discovery.

Lise Meitner’s brilliance led to the discovery of nuclear fission. But her long time collaborator Otto Hahn, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry w/o her in 1944, even though she had given the first theoretical explanation.

Albert Einstein called Meitner “our Marie Curie." She also adamantly refused to work on the atomic bomb during WWII. https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/201502/physicshistory.cfm #women #history #science #energy

The importance of indoor air quality

This thread looks at the impact of cleaning indoor air, not just from pathogens in aerosol particles but also from other air pollutants linked to various health problems, and what we can do about it.

An unrolled one-page web view for this long thread that may be easier to read or share can be found here ( https://pingthread.com/thread/1607379781892575234 ). 🧵 1/
