Eclipse seen from the plane! #totality #TotalEclipse

Stopped by HarvardBrainScience to talk science with Catherine Dulac. Had a really fun conversation spanning many areas of science and had a delicious lunch!!!

Enjoyed co-leading a workshop on citation diversity w/ Felicia Davatolhagh. She introduced open source tools to check whether biblios are biased relative to baseline rates. Adding this step to my writing routine has expanded the breadth of my scientific reading. github.com/dalejn/cleanBi…

We love natural behavior! Our new review highlights recent work from Cris Niell, BBO lab | small things on small heads & others. Is natural behavioral all we need to understand brains? We say no & hypothesize why training critters can be hard. Pls post your training thoughts below. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Chaoqun Yin Gabriel Rojas-Bowe Anne Churchland and I are also excited to share our work on how movements give critical insights into behavioral engagement states. If you’re interested in state, movements, and decision making, stop by on Sunday morning! Poster Y5 #SFN2023

Need a trusty chronic implant for your #neuropixels ? Come see our new design Sunday morning at poster WW6 (117.20). #SfN2023

Looking forward to #SfN2023 If you are interested in visual neuroscience stop by to chat at any of our posters. We are recruiting postdocs for a collaboration with Anne Churchland, Joao Couto, Alex Huk, and Mario Dipoppa! Talk to any of us about this potential opportunity.

A number of folks have asked for updates on how I’m doing. I’m not bad! I have a ways to go still (pic is of me at the infusion clinic) but I’m making progress & feeling good. I’ll even be at #sfn23 next week. if you see me, say hi & remind me to rest, eat & hydrate!

This year, #BreastCancerAwarenesMonth has personal significance for me & my lab members. Folks, take this opportunity to get screened and/or tell your mum, sister, aunt, friend or partner to do the same. Please RT and spread the word!

Congrats to the #DSPANScholars !

Excited to see the research vision from amazing new director talia konkle! news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/…

Today I am done with my 25th & final session of radiation. Woohoo! My radiation oncologist & nurse even gave me a diploma! So grateful to all the supportive folks who helped me thru. And again, please folks, get your cancer screenings done!! #breastcancer #uclahealth

How did I make it thru 4 of 5 wks of radiation? Lots of help! Thanks to my family (kids made sticker chart!), lab, friends/colleagues (who visited & brought food) & my followers (music was so helpful). And Alex Huk is awesome & will get me thru 1 more week! ❤️ #breastcancer

I taught in the computational neuroscience course OIST last year and was blown away by the science, the community and the unique geography. If you're looking for a faculty position, check out this listing for sure groups.oist.jp/facultypositio…

From swinging legs to playing with paperclips – many people fidget subconsciously. bbc.com/future/article…

I’m halfway done with radiation!! Been a lot of ups and downs but I’m gettin thru it (music helps a lot). What are some “half” things I can do to celebrate? Half a cake? Trip to Half Moon Bay? #breastcancer

One session down, 24 to go. I’m gettin’ through it! Anyone have music recommendations for my daily drive to the hospital? I need some uplifting tunes!!!

Folks have been advising me about the ability of fruit/veg to prevent/cure #cancer . Evidence not amazing. Still, as a lifelong fruit fanatic, I am more than happy to eat even more, especially berries from my mum’s garden. What’s your favorite fruit? Bonus pts if you post a pic!
