30 Essays to Make You Love Biology Day 5. "The Baffling Intelligence of a Single Cell," by James Somers & Edwin Morris. This interactive article, about chemotaxis and flagella, gives "an intuition for how a bag of unthinking chemicals could possibly give rise to a being."

Check out this fantastic work led by @MaedbhK & @ladanshahani providing us with a comprehensive model of how cortical inputs converge in the cerebellum. Another piece of the puzzle of understanding how cerebellum contributes to movement & cognition! @diedrichsenlab @ivryrich

How can we use fMRI to make inferences about cerebellar involvement in specific tasks? @ladanshahani's preprint introduces a clever new approach - and successfully tests it in the motor domain. Excited to be part of this! @diedrichsenlab @ivrylab @MaedbhK

@smickdougle @ManonIronside aww sorry I missed this, have been on twitter sporadically the past few months

@ManonIronside @MaedbhK yes, @MaedbhK !

Hey Boston/Cambridge people -> the bluegrass band I play in (Audrey Mae) is playing "Bluegrass Tuesdays" next week (4/4) in Cambridge, ~8pm. Come say hi? Free show! bluegrasstuesdays.com/index.html

A person’s occupation is richly informative but categorical and thus difficult to quantify. We created a freely-accessible tool to convert occupation labels to ratio-scaled scores. Manuscript (psyarxiv.com/crbh9/) in press in Behavior Research Methods. @briantlevine @juchiyu

What's better than a holiday greeting from the McGovern Institute? How about a holiday greeting in 30 different languages (including Klingon!) from researchers across our labs. You don't want to miss this one - turn up the volume!

New paper in @jneurolang! @MaedbhK, Sienna Bruinsma and @ivryrich show that individuals with Cerebellar Degeneration exhibit no impairment in semantic prediction. Check it out! direct.mit.edu/nol/article/do…

CognAc lab has a promo video! youtube.com/watch?v=NYpHXU… Some of us might not be most convincing in acting, but we all try our best to do good science🙂 @ivryrich, @tsay_jonathan, Will Saban, Carolyn Irving, @avraham_guy, @TianHWang, @AmandaLeBel3, @LudovicaLabruna, @sabrinabram

There's a 750-mile bicycle route in New York. We rode every inch of it, from Manhattan to Buffalo to the Canadian border. This is what it was like. nyti.ms/3SquuKa

Many pediatric cancers are fundamentally developmental disorders. With our recent publication we have discovered the origins of medulloblastoma within the developing cerebellum. #teamscience #stjude nature.com/articles/s4158…

So we're not supposed to describe applicants as "caring" and "compassionate" because those words are too feminized. Frankly, this is what's wrong with academia! Can we celebrate stereotypically female traits instead? I'd rather mentor a compassionate student than a driven jerk.

We are looking for research scientists/engineers and postdocs to work on several collaborative projects including @DANDIarchive @ReproNim and other NIH projects part of the @USBrainAlliance . sensein.group/vacancies Feel free to reach out to @satra_ for more info. Please RT.

We are so excited to see what comes of @satra_ + @sensein_ research to study the relationship between voice/speech and mental health.

Interested in #cogneuro, #language, #cerebellum, or #autism? D’Mello Lab is recruiting its 🤩first🤩 PhD students for Fall 2023! Apply via @BBSutdallas Cog Neuro or Psych PhD programs. Visit our lab site (dmellolab.com/prospective-st…) for more info or reach out with questions! Pls RT!

If you're at #Flux2022, come to our session on "The potentially big role of the "little brain" in cognitive development". Thursday @ 11am in the Grand Amphitheatre, Sorbonne University. Sad not to be presenting in-person at this incredible venue.
