@montell_denise what is your favorite crisp-delivering part of a sandwich

In about a week, I will be interviewing Jennifer Doudna at a UCSB Arts & Lectures event. If you could ask Jennifer one question about CRISPR, what would it be?

Shameless #SfN24 plug: if you'll be in Chicago this weekend and want to chat about estrous cycle modulation of hippocampal plasticity (read: spines, dendrites, & place cells), come check out my poster at board P9 Sunday morning! 🐭🧠🔬

congrats Ian!🐭🏍️🧠

@NoraWolcott Hippocampus summer!

🚨Check out our new preprint on the role of the estrous cycle in shaping synaptic, dendritic, AND population level plasticity in hippocampus! I'll save a full rundown for publication, but so happy to see my thesis work out in the world 😊

I wish I knew how to computer and math. Would go just for the memes

🔥👑

Reminder: there's a free, slack-like community for 2p, 3p, neuro, opto, etc. Come and ask questions, share notes, announce meetings, jobs, ... We just had a nice little discussion about prechirpers. 2p.ece.ucsb.edu/signup_user_co… Posts can stay as long as you like. No time limits.

Better late than never: I’m at @SLBconference Too many cool things happening. Forgot twitter existed. Come see how we added optostim to the diesel2p system and help me make it better!

@hannahgrotz What a week! A PR on osm and now this?

✨Thrilled to announce that our paper on the impact of diurnal variation in steroid hormones on functional networks is not only out now in #JNeuro, but our work is also highlighted on the cover!✨🧵(1/7) jneurosci.org/content/44/22/…

@philgaimon Yeah they have been very trigger happy with their opinions lately. Fortunately there is still the cycling podcast

@omgauld @NeuralCompLab @llerussell @hwpdalgleish @paqio Congrats! Very impressive, huge amount of work. Just want to make sure I’m reading it right: Did you get to stimulate 30 cells with one hologram?

My PhD paper is out! Huge thanks to all members of @NeuralCompLab and especially @llerussell @hwpdalgleish and @paqio for making it a great experience!

@SarahJEger @MCamila_almeida Awesome!

Absolutely thrilled to share my first PhD paper in @NeuronCellPress! Co-led by @MCamila_almeida, we uncovered autophagy gene signatures distinguishing autosomal-dominant and sporadic AD 🧠 and ⬆️ LRP1 in astrocytes of the APOE3 Christchurch homozygote🇨🇴 authors.elsevier.com/c/1ig8V_KOmxK7…

Experimental scientists make an art out of pulling exquisite measurements out of imperfect instruments. @yiyi_yu used calcium imaging to make precise measurements of neural circuitry in action. labrigger.com/blog/2024/02/2…

I am recruiting postdocs for 2024!😃 3 fellowships available: 🌐Geometric and Topological Deep Learning 🧠Foundation Models for Neuroscience ⚕️AI for Women’s Brain Health. Interested? Apply here! tinyurl.com/mtwf3tuu This is how our campus looks like in the winter🌴😜

💻 LMs leveraging generative pretraining learn many diverse skills. 🧠 But what can GPTs trained on brain data learn to do? Introducing Neuroformer. A generative model pretrained on massively multimodal, multitask neuronal data! (ICLR 2024) 🧵

@MaiRahmoon @HHMIJanelia highly recommend a bird feeder. great way to make loads of feathered friends this time of year!

Experiencing the magic of snow for the first time in my life❄️☃️🌨️. @HHMIJanelia nature’s beauty is absolutely amazing in every season! WINTER is HERE! 🥶 #SnowMagic #WinterWonderland"

The best part about UCSB in 2024 is that all the kids speeding their bikes through pedestrian crowds are now also on their phones

@BenjiNaesen I bet they feel the same way

Nothing gives you more imposter syndrome than sitting at breakfast with Philipsen and MVDP a single table away. 😳

@klsywd connectedpapers.com might be an alternative if one would prefer not signing up

Ok this is kinda neat: If you give researchrabbit.ai a scientific paper it will generate a network of references and citations!
