“Modeling observed gender imbalances in academic citation practices” arxiv.org/abs/2204.12555 We model how homophily - the tendency to engage with the work of authors who are similar to you - can give rise to gender bias in citations and best to mitigate this bias. (1/9)

We’ve got a new preprint out! 👏🥳 Have you ever wanted to model and ⚡️control⚡️neural dynamics on your connectome data? 🤔 Well, you’re in luck because our team has put together a protocol paper and a Python package to help you do just that! 😎 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Among the most difficult things to understand about AI's impact in the real world is the mechanics of integration - ie. how the AI system is introduced & used within an ecosystem of decision-makers. Finally, a thorough study on this, led by @DukeInnovate:arxiv.org/pdf/2304.13081…

Huge congrats to DR!!! @neuro_dz, who had a brilliant thesis defense. I have been just so lucky to co-mentor Dale alongside primary mentor @DaniSBassett -- learned SO much, always SO fun. His work on efficient coding a in brain networks - blows my mind. CONGRATS DR. DALE!!!!

‼️🚨Postdoc opportunity‼️🚨Please RT 🙏 Are you interested in: * Neuroimaging * Network neuroscience * Multi-omic analysis in large datasets * Machine learning * Psychiatry research Come work with me at @RutgersU! Apply here: jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/198183

Check out our new preprint on learning from @khanacademy videos (by @paxt0n4, @andyheusser, and @jeremyRmanning)! We use text embeddings to model and map what people know and how knowledge changes over time. Preprint: psyarxiv.com/dh3q2 Code/data: github.com/ContextLab/eff…

Randomized clinical trial shows machine learning mortality predictions & behavioral nudges to cancer clinicians led to significant increase in rate of serious illness conversations & altered outcomes of end-of-life care for pts w/cancer. ja.ma/3iBxXJF #HPM #EOL

Why are some brain regions specialists versus generalists? For efficiency, regions might compress activity but forfeit functional flexibility. We find support for this idea in brains networks and RNNs. Oral presentation at InfoCog @ NeurIPS 2022 workshop openreview.net/forum?id=eGOWH…

1/n I'm excited to announce that v1.5.0 of {paletteer} got on CRAN today, adding 188 palettes, and 7 new packages for a total of 2569 palettes 🤯 github.com/EmilHvitfeldt/… #rstats #dataviz

Just accepted at @SfNJournals JNeuro – our paper entitled “The age of reason: Functional brain network development during childhood.” Talking about it at #Flux2022 today at 3:30, virtually. Ask me questions on Twitter, 🧵 details below!

@anne_churchland @j6m8 @neuro_dz @DaniSBassett Yeah exactly! If you launch the binder, upload the bib file, and clean it as the instructions say, it should output what your looking for. Also I'm happy to help trouble shoot if it doesn't work as expected

@j6m8 @neuro_dz @DaniSBassett @JenniferStiso Wow, a webapp would be amazing! So it takes a .bib file as an input?

Has anone had recent luck with the Gender Based Assessment Tool (GBAT, jlsumner.shinyapps.io/syllabustool/)? I can't seem to find a workable format: have tried .bib files, comma separated names, semi colon separated names, pasting raw biblio. Just keep getting errors.

@faroit Yeah I think it makes sense to try and diversify reviewers. I can't think of specific research at the moment, but my intuition is that engaging people from different parts of the scientific community in reviews might help counter balance some of the trends towards homophily

@JenniferStiso Great study. What about reviewers? As an editor I often wonder if it makes sense to diversify reviewers.

New preprint! “Curiosity as filling, compressing, and reconfiguring knowledge networks” (arxiv.org/abs/2204.01182); w/ @neuro_dz, @ChrisWLynn, @jason_z_kim, @academicmatou, @harangju, @perryzurn, @DLydonStaley, and @DaniSBassett.

I am excited to share that I'm joining Rutgers (@Rutgers_CAHBIR @BHI_Rutgers @RutgersU) as an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry in 2023! My group will work at the intersection of psychiatry, network neuroscience, and machine learning to study the neurobiology of mental disorders.

New preprint on statistical and network learning🎉 When exposed to a sound stream, adults compute biased transitional probabilities between the items and extract the structure from the underlying network. They even generalize to missing data! -> cutt.ly/CHNdV16

Researchers at Oklahoma State University are conducting a study on sizeism in academia with the goal of documenting the unique challenges faced by fat/ larger-bodied students and faculty. Please consider participating if you are eligible! okstateches.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3I…
