Trying to find some protocols for cone isolation from frogs that don't involve transgenics or freezing. There is a surprising dearth of information out there for cone isolation? Seems to be mostly rods. Is anyone familiar with any simple-ish protocols? π§ͺ π #xenopus

Are you an early-stage graduate student (2nd or 3rd year) or early-stage postdoc based in the US or Canada, working primarily in Drosophila? Would you like to help improve the experience of all trainees working in Drosophila research? If so, read on.

New preprint from the lab in collaboration with @sherberg128.bsky.social. By only altering the stiffness of the substrate, we discovered changes in corneal endothelial cell health. This study indicates how physical changes to the Descemet's membrane can affect the endothelium.

As a neuroscientist, Iβd suggest there is a profound disconnect between what *some* computer scientists think is representative of βintelligenceβ, cognitive ability, or descriptions of consciousness from some in AI work.
LLMs are not how neural systems process information, nor how brains function.

You can do good work, and it is not limited to being at elite institutions. As you advance in your career, it becomes more about "what have you done?" not "where did you do it?"

To be of service, people should be concerned about someone besides themselves. Do we see that anywhere in politics nowadays? Across the political spectrum, they are all in it for themselves. Bernie and AOC might be the only outliers.

I did not intend to WFH today. Took a bus into work (40 mins), tried to open my office door (20 mins), gathered an army of people to help open my door (45 mins). Gave up, took the bus back home (40 mins). Taking my dogs for a walk now. What a Monday!

Hardest thing about moving to a new place as an adult is making new friends. Shamelessly approaching strangers, and asking if I can be their friend is my new strategy. My new friends (3 so far!) say they are charmed by my candor (read desperation). Onward..

Writing two manuscripts at the same time is not worth my sanity. Stating this on a public forum so I can be reminded to not pursue such lunacies anymore.

Beautiful find! I planted some okras in my veggie patch. Found out that my bull dog loves okras just as much as I do. She ate them all before I could get any! I have to come up with a better system of growing okras next year.
