Congrats Nic!

“If I can communicate all of my math”

Respectfully, you’re making the same mistake that all PhD students make, which is thinking that the goal of your presentation is communicating what you have done. Watch this first, and your presentation will be 5x better www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtIz...

Once you learn the minimal basics with an online course or book or whatever, transition away from exercises to mini-projects for yourself that are things you actually want to get done. Reorganizing your photos, automating things, whatever it is, write code to do it

Congrats!

The basis of synaptic transmission was worked out at the frog neuromuscular junction, and most of what we know about ion channels used frog eggs as a heterologous expression system

The mechanistic basis of action potentials in squid axons by Hodgkin and Huxley is pretty much the basis of neuroscience and cardiology

sounds really interesting, thanks!

Thanks, I'll check it out. As a molecular biologist, I find Gallistel's ideas about molecular memory storage to be beyond ludicrous, and I haven't dug deeper into his stuff because of that. But I know that's a little unfair because it's not his area, and I should probably give him another chance

Thanks. This is really interesting, but I am having trouble wrapping my mind around it. Do you have any ideas for a model that could explain this?

This might be a dumb question, but if T is longer than I, could the animal be forming an association with the cue in the next trial instead of the current one?

💯and I’m surprised by how many people that insight seems to have escaped. I have a lot of respect for Konrad, but I was baffled by the superficiality of the argument

Awesome news, congrats!

@tdverstynen.bsky.social check this out www.hamamatsu.com/jp/en/why-ha...

I love that you saw that and also immediately recognized the need to photograph it
