Let’s stop treating "leaving academia" as negative. Scientists train for academia, industry, or what suits them. Industry isn’t an alternative; it’s a choice. In fields like engineering, most PhDs go to industry, and no one calls it "leaving academia." We should train scientists for diverse paths.

Hey folks! I got a tattoo of my beloved PIEZO ion channel on my arm! Now I can show how they activate (flatten) under pressure by flexing—Will add a bit of performance art to my science talks 🧪🧠.

can roaches be part of the solution to making neurophysiology, a typically very elite field, more accessible?

in Arizona, @ulisesricoy.bsky.social & colleagues are using the critters to create low cost educational experiments

Researchers are betting on cockroaches as the cure to elitism in neuroscience
Cockroaches are a hardy pest, and often elicit disgust. But they do have a few things going for them: They are cheap, can be raised in a space as small as

The JOY I just felt in seeing this paper from the @drverpeut.bsky.social and @ulisesricoy.bsky.social labs about teaching ML/automated behavior tracking using cockroaches -- been wanting to do something like this with our students and feeling inspired now! 🪳

We will be hosting 3rd Full Circle Symposium for Native Biologists hosted at UCSF in April 2025! We aim to build community and provide meaningful opportunities for Native scientists. If you are a Native biologist who is interested plz fill this out to stay up to date: forms.gle/AN7nfkhdB3Fv...
Full Circle Native symposium flyer. It includes a Logo, the date of the event (April 3-4 2025), and confirmed speakers: Casey Dorr (Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute), Rebecca Pollet (Vassar College), Kat MIlligan-McClellan (University of Conneticut), Krystal Tosie (Arizona State University), Lauren W Yowelunh McLester-Davis (UW Madison). It also includes that text: The goal of the “Full Circle” symposium is to create an opportunity for North American Native and Indigenous, Native Hawaiian, and Alaskan Native scientists to share their research, meet other scientists, and build community. The symposium will take place over two days at the UCSF Mission Bay campus in San Francisco. We will have talks from students, postdocs, and faculty and panel discussions on Native and Indigenous topics in the context of research. It also contains a QR code that links to: https://forms.gle/AN7nfkhdB3Fvdkkm7

A few reasons why I love Patagonia!📷

#photography #nature #naturephotography #landscape #landscapephotography #patagonia #mountains
Patagonia is breathtaking, the ever changing light & weather is what makes it so very special. In Torres del Paine National Park, a spot lit iceberg is dwarfed by mountains already in the shade, except for the jagged summit, bathed in the warm afternoon sun. This is what I love about Patagonia! After a 3 am start and 12 km hike to mount Cerro Torre, I was surrounded by drizzle and clouds. It was miserable. But just a few minutes later I was graced by the most beautiful light!⁠ An unforgettable morning in Patagonia's Torres del Paine National Park. Gale force winds transform the calm turquoise waters of Lago Pehoe into a raging sea, blowing away crashing waves and literally lifting the water off the surface! Glorious Mount Fitz Roy emerges from the clouds, as strong winds put an end to a cloudy morning. Patagonia is challenging to photograph, the mountains can be hidden for days, but when they clear, the beauty is unmatched!
