I struggled with this exact thing a lot during grad school. No matter how much you love science - try to decouple your self worth from your projects. You'll be much happier. A person before a PhD: understanding and combatting an academic identity crisis nature.com/articles/d4158…

This story is not exactly accurate. I was a grad student in the Miesenboeck lab when optogenetics was invented there. Here's what happened behind the scenes. I rotated there in 2001, and Gero said, "Don't tell anyone, but we're stimulating neurons with light." I thought WTF?!? 1/

Excited to share my first work from the lab of Keisuke Yonehara at DANDRITE (Aarhus Universitet) published in Nature Communications. In this work, we uncovered a segregated cortical stream for signaling from retinal direction-selective cells of mice 🧠🐭 disq.us/t/3m2kp29

Happy to share Charlotte Navntoft’s new paper, a result of a great collaboration with the group of Jeremy Marozeau at the Danish Technical University, on how a mouse model of cochlear implant can be used to optimize stimulation parameters: nature.com/articles/s4159… #BrainSoundLab

Neurons can be polyamorous, having many meaningful & distinct relationships w/ hundreds of partners! @Neubadah and I preview a recent study published in Neuron revealing the mindboggling complexity of thalamic interneurons. Read it Cell Systems doi.org/10.1016/j.cels…

Truly excited to share our preprint from Keisuke Yonehara lab about the cortical processing of optic flow. We discovered that optic flow representations in areas of the visual cortex rely on motion information from the retina 🧠 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

John McCain’s concession speech from the 2008 election. Listen when the crowd “boos” Obama, he says stop and settles them. America, you are unrecognisable. #ElectionResults2020

Science describes what is - not what could be. Just because gender can be shown to play a role now, we should not stop trying to fight for a world where it will not. This discussion is in my opinion more important than getting the paper retracted. sciencemag.org/news/2020/11/a…

Are you fascinated by the science fiction of Bionic Vision? Would you like to help the blinds to restore their vision? We are looking for a postdoc, working with us to develop a future-generation bionic device implanted in the visual cortex. A job ad will be published very soon!
