Some thoughts on bringing creativity and expression back into Academic science presenting 🧵

Today's discussion on 'No one way' TL;DR Your personality and identity are incredibly powerful tools for communicating your work. There is no one way to do it. Don't let the system force you into the same old mould.

A huge congratulations to Merina on being awarded the long-coveted R01! We are incredibly excited for the journey ahead 🎉 👏

Does anyone have some bissected skulls of random mammals laying around? I need braincase photos for a current project!

I have created a HUGE list aggregating all the #AcademicTwitter and #NewPI resources I have saved over time! It includes grants, organization, supervision, teaching, mental health, budgeting, presentations, job applications... Suggestions & input welcome! nicoleackermans.com/resources/

Some chart types are used all the time. Think: Box plots Pie charts Heat maps Paired bar charts Correlation matrix But just because a chart is used all the time doesn't mean it's good for your use case. Let's explore some alternatives that may work better for you.

I used to think tables are boring. But they can be beautiful & engaging. Here's a nice example from Information is Beautiful. It uses many eye-catching elements. But you don't need catchy visuals to create a great table. Here are a couple of guidelines that will help you 🧵

Let's goooo!!! #JBJC22

Dr. Ackermans will be presenting her work in the Hof lab this afternoon at #JBJC2022!

VIRTUAL #SfN22! Working on primate models of human #Aging to investigate sex & age-related #CognitiveDecline, here Dr. Carmen Freire Cobo seeks to establish the relationships btwn pathological hallmarks of AD & #CognitiveAging in marmosets. #FBIatSfN👉abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/10619/p…

Fresh new work from the Hof lab! Multimodal assessment of auditory nuclei in the dolphin brain. Main finding? They may have a neurochemical buffer against hypoxia! 🐬 mdpi.com/2306-7381/9/12…

In 21 papers across Science, Science Advances, and Science Translational Medicine, researchers with the #BICCN consortium present an atlas of the human and nonhuman primate brain in unprecedented detail. The results uncover the genetic organization of the human brain. scim.ag/4ro

Finally, our work on Brain Cell Census is published on Science Advances! A cellular resolution atlas of Broca’s area | Science Advances science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I'm presenting two posters at SfN this year! On Monday morning, I'll be discussing analysis of intrinsic timescales across mice, macaques, and humans (OO21) And on Tuesday morning, I'll be presenting results of amygdala MAPseq comparing projections from macaques and mice (WW30)

Come speak with #AlecMcKendell (Board E30 PSTR325.20) from 11 am-12 pm today about neocortical glial and vascular changes in Alzheimer's disease. Thanks to Hof lab and GE Research for the collaboration behind this first #SfN2023 poster from the #VargheseLab! #FBIatSfN

And here’s to more fantastic science together!
