Excited to share our #NeurIPS2024 paper on deep learning models and benchmark datasets for localizing + attributing vocalizations in social interactions! Please come visit the poster on Friday 11am-1pm PST in West Ballroom A-D #5406. Paper link: biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The Audette Lab is hiring! If you're interested in well-designed mouse behavior paired with physiology and circuit perturbation, apply now! Plus you'll get to work with a PI who is a great mentor and colleague, and who will certainly build and lead a fun, vibrant team.

Open PhD position in the lab! 🚀Get in touch if you want to crack synaptic mechanisms in the postpartum brain & beyond. We patch, we image, we track behavior and hormonal release. PleaseRT fens.org/careers/job-ma…

Our study during my postdoc training has finally come out! Hypothalamic oxytocin signaling is important to learn superior conspecifics in social hierarchy. Thank you so much for generous support from all the members of @moccalin lab and U19 OXT in NYULMC! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to be at #NeurIPS this week to present our latest work developing benchmarks and deep learning models for localizing rodent vocalizations in social interactions. Come by the ML for Audio Workshop or DM me to chat! Details here: nips.cc/virtual/2023/7…

BraiNY is hosting an incredibly cool science/art exhibition and happy hour tomorrow ⬇️⬇️⬇️ come hangout and we can discuss the value of different (paint) strokes for different folks!

@estef_azevedo Well done! 🥳

🙌😁🙌😁

Very excited to share our new work using unsupervised machine learning to characterize family specific vocal usage in the Mongolian gerbil! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@Landry_Lab I got my last lab to use these! So expensive though, does anyone have any better and cheaper suggestions for glove recycling?

One of the things I hate most about science is how much waste it creates 🌎😢. Did you know it is possible to recycle gloves? Reach out if you want to learn how to do the same for your labspace!

New paper out today in @CurrentBiology led by @Audette_neuro! Nick, @ale_lach, and Wenxi Zhou tackle some important questions about predictive processing in the mouse auditory system (and come up with some pretty awesome answers!). cell.com/current-biolog… A few takeaways: 1/2

Work life balance

A preview on our recent study led by an extremely talented postdoc, Luping Yin. She managed to complete the entire project from the first experiment to publication in 3 years, with the highest data quality any PI can ask for. A truly awesome scientist!!! cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

BREAKING: All of Puerto Rico — every town, neighborhood, house — is without power. That’s 1.4 million households. Winds over the southern portion of the island have gusted 80-100 mph, but elsewhere winds have been much lesser. Despite this, the grid is tenuous at best.

The best part of science writing is the writing. The worst part of science writing is the writing. If you’ve ever felt this way (and yes, yes you have), here are some of the tricks I’ve found helpful for dealing with anxiety about writing. A thread. (1)

@BeccaCalisi Really inspiring story! I also heard you speak in 2019 and am very excited to see what comes out of the green care lab!

I’ve spent years researching stress & reproduction while navigating toxic academic culture as a Latina neurodiverse(ADHD) mom. By tenure I burned out. Panic attacks, multiple health issues. I drafted my resignation letter. Then the pandemic happened. And I decided to start over.

Doing a PhD just doesn’t feel as important anymore while the world is on fire
