Update: I was almost happy with one recoding, then the mailman came so my dog had to scream as loud as possible for a bit.

Does anyone else think that this #SfN2021 poster format is hyper stressful? This is borderline torture for me.

Dopamine? GABA? co-release? zone incerta? threat response? Join us to hear about them all in a selected talk by @ZDBrodnik

Excited to talk about my most recent work on zona incerta combinatorial dopamine and GABA neurons at #ViDA2021 Catch my talk on Stream 2, this Thursday at 2:20pm

Honored to be selected to give a talk as part of this fantastic series, looking forward to sharing some very new data for the first time!

Maybe it's time to stop using Tiger Woods as an example for how to raise children with exceptional skill expertise.

@alfcnz @matplotlib @TDTneuro I am using pyqt5. I am still figuring out how I want the images displayed. Right now I'm just displaying JPGs, but I tried to write in a way where this can be changed easily since I know it's not optimum. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

@ZDBrodnik @matplotlib @TDTneuro What library are you using for the GUI? Also, the aspect ratio of those images are skewed. You can display vector graphic or even figures directly.

Been working on a #Python based GUI for fiber photometry analysis in my spare time. It's mostly functional, but there's lots I still want to add Right now it works for @TDTneuro file analysis, but I could pretty easily add other file sources Now accepting cool name suggestions

@astrochunly @matplotlib @TDTneuro I will eventually, but I'm not sure I am ready to share everything just yet. Some of the analysis scripts I am using are updates to the common procedure or are completely novel. I probably want to publish those in some way before giving the general public access.

@ZDBrodnik @matplotlib @TDTneuro Create a GitHub issue for this and have people comment and vote up!

@HistedLab @TDTneuro The worker then signals a dictionary back to the main thread, and the user can use the display to view the JPGs. There are problems with this, but it's simple and modular so I like it while I'm still working on things.

@ZDBrodnik @TDTneuro A question, would love your feedback: What is the GUI approach you think is best? Matplotlib embedded in Qt5? This is what I'm using now, on Mac. But there are several other approaches: Web-based plotting, faster Matplotlib replacements.

@HistedLab @TDTneuro I only started coding in March or so of last year, so I am sure there are more efficient ways to do a lot of what I am doing. What I am doing right now is running the analysis in a separate thread that uses mayplotlib, saves the images as JPG.

@snpc_404 @TDTneuro Lol I get it now, I thought you were suggesting a development tool I didn't know about!

@ZDBrodnik @TDTneuro a cannula made of python. the name recommendation:)

@snpc_404 @TDTneuro I really appreciate the offer. Also, what is Pynulla? I'm not familiar.

@ZDBrodnik @TDTneuro let me know if you needed help dev'n. Pynulla would be my recom.

@sofiyahupalo @TDTneuro I think this is a strong front runner.

@ZDBrodnik @TDTneuro Pytho-metry?

Excited to finally share this. This was a passion project that had little to do with my thesis work, and is the second half of a wonderful collaboration with @svmahler. My final first author out of the España lab @DrexelMedicine . jneurosci.org/content/early/…

@svmahler @The_Gilp I came here to say this

@The_Gilp Common

@JessicaRBarson @Gargiat @gennnevieveee @surya_pandey_ @breannepirino Congrats!!!!!

@DavidBarker_PhD HEY!!!!

Dopamine sucks.

Replying @sofiyahupalo 5 jobs before scientists: 1) Marina dock hand 2) Smart board installer 3) IT network specialist 4) Paint formulation intern 5) Bartender (most stressful all of them, including scientist) Tagging: @DavidBarker_PhD @jmirandab84 @smriti_mongia

@AnnieCholines Honestly, I was prepared for rejection on this one, it was a first submission and a high journal. I'm just confused about the positive reviews.

@ZDBrodnik aw sorry :/

Just got some manuscript reviews in. 4 quite positive reviews. We regret to inform you...
