@nicholdav @vocalpy Exciting!!

@ahannahseo There isn't a clear stand out winner, but Ukraine is probably most likely, with Italy, Sweden and the UK (if you can believe it) also being front runners

@ahannahseo Ooooh yes! Serbia is my favorite this year (by a lot), but honorable mentions also to France, the Netherlands, Czechia, and Romania (in no particular order)

@srijaniibiswas Omg, congratulations!! 🎉🎉

I got the best student poster prize at the UTSW Neuro Retreat yesterday! :) There were butterflies, many interesting talks, and quite a few failed attempts at getting a lab picture 🤪 Many thanks to the organizers, and to the members of the Shabel lab for their support!!

@ahannahseo Congratulations Hannah!! This is so exciting and well deserved 🥳

Extra special thanks to @alexhdezgcia, @MH_Rosenberg, @dimuthuH, Zach, Mohammad and Courtnie! I learned so much from you all and has a blast doing it 😊

What a whirlwind! Thanks to @neuromatch academy, great TAs and awesome teammates, I’ve gone from minimal pytorch experience 3 weeks ago to building a VAE to generate ‘music’ which won the NMA talent show yesterday! Enjoy ‘alien_music’ by the VAE bAEs (formerly the GAN GANg):

@nicholdav @UTSWBrain Thank you!

@therese_koch @UTSWBrain Nice! Congrats

It's me! Thanks so much to @UTSWBrain for this opportunity. I look forward to sharing more of my science and experience in this program going forward!

Congrats to current and former @robertslab and Konopka lab members for their new paper on FoxP2 in basal ganglia circuits for vocal production! Lei, Devin, Mou, @therese_koch @ashwinikumark @marissacoconut nature.com/articles/s4146…

Good morning from freezing Texas! Here's the story of my partnership with Leah to build the first genetics cohort of African children with autism. Thanks @LauraLauraDat for an engaging discussion spectrumnews.org/opinion/q-and-… via @Spectrum

me to my PI 🥴

I'll me manning the @UTSW_NeuroGrads virtual booth at the @SfNtweets grad school fair for the next couple hours. Come chat if you're interested in @UTSWGradSchool! Happy to answer any questions about the program & life in Dallas🤠Registration here: bit.ly/3iCisfp

The US election is tomorrow.  If you, like me, are tired of horse-race-style reporting, and need to zoom out, I wanna tell you a story. It’s about an ancient force influencing the election. And, as a bonus, it’ll give you an Easter egg to watch for as the returns come in. THREAD

@ChelseaParlett jakevdp.github.io/PythonDataScie…, especially the final 'Machine Learning' section, which is a great overview of the SciKit-Learn API. It's more focused on the 'how-to' of modeling, rather than how to select the best type of model for the job though.

Any good open source intro to data science books y’all recommend? I’m potentially in the market for a new one for my class (python or language agnostic preferred!)

It's ✨October 3rd✨ Happy K-Mean Girls Day🥳

How discovery (and the retrospective telling of discovery) works.

@CherishArdinger Congratulations Cherish 🎉🎉🎉

Receiving yet another email with precipitous changes in his institution's COVID-19 policy, the grad student yearns for any sense of stability.
