Tip for women in science:
Don't collaborate with men who are not allies in the fight against sexism (unless you have no choice, which happens often of course).
You may think it is worth it, but really, it never is. You will end up mistreated and your ideas likely erased.

What happens in the brain when a stimulus enters consciousness?
We built a biophysical model of the cortex to zoom in to synaptic interactions and zoom out to whole-cortex neural dynamics during perception.
It revealed a key mechanism for ignition🧵...

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.
