If anyone happens to need it this week for...reasons...this is the best graphic on the complexity of human sex determination I've ever seen. I use it in an undergrad course on gene regulatory mechanisms. Shoutout to @unamandita.bsky.social! www.scientificamerican.com/article/beyo...

I'm so thrilled that we featured Dr. Annegret Falkner's story. In her down to earth style, Annegret shares how her windy paths brought her to study how internal states shape social behaviors and to push the boundaries of how we study and quantify behavior 🧠🐁🎙️

Friends, I’m going to try very hard to move here from the other platform. Is there a starter pack for auditory neuroscientists? If not, I’ll make one — please reply to this post and repost if you’re an auditory neuroscientist. And please comment with links to systems neuro starter packs.

For so many, there was a book - often read ~20yo - that had a very big influence on their next steps. Do you have a book story like that? Do tell! My book was Crick's "Astonishing Hypothesis". I got to feature my 30yo tattered copy in a recent photo shoot. www.thetransmitter.org/summer-readi...

I made a systems neuroscience starter pack, focused on experimentalists who study the brain at the level of populations of neurons! Also want to be on the list? Reply or DM me a picture of your ephys rig or 2p setup and I'll add you 🤭 go.bsky.app/UiqX7ry
