I'm attempting to put together a 12 Livestream of my lab doing data collection next week. I thought it would be a fun opportunity for some SciComm. We'll be chatting about goats and woodpeckers for 12h if I can get the tech to work. Watch this space 👀

Soooo it seems I need 50 followers on YouTube before I can Livestream. Can some of y'all follow so I can get this off the ground? I only need 34 more!

We're hiring!
Open position for a PhD student studying the role of sleep in mediating sepsis-related brain damage.

Come work with me to figure out why severe inflammatory disease can lead to long-term cognitive problems, and if we can do something about that.

Does anyone have slides or resources on trans biology they'd be willing to share? I'm covering sex and gender in neuro and want to make sure to cover transness too.

Hey, I'm preparing my slides for a short lecture on preprocessing (filtering, spike sorting...) for our single unit workshop on Wednesday.
Any favorite methods I should definitely talk about?

I swear whenever a paper measures something "in a vertebrate" it's always zebrafish and when it is in "the" brain it is in a mouse.

What's going on with dental acrylic these days?
First we can no longer buy Meliodent liquid in Czech Republic, and now it is impossible to find Paladur liquid...

I wonder if PalaXpress liquid works with regular powder, or if we need to switch to a different resin again.
