Very much forward to this @ohbmofficial.bsky.social

Have recent changes led to uncertainty in your future scientific career?

Wonder it's like in Australia?

Good news!

Monash's is seeking to hire talented EMCRs from other countries.

Come join a wonderful community of brain mappers & modellers!

How is BlueSky feeling compared to how Twitter used to be for scientific discourse?

For me, I feel like the crowd has moved to here and LinkedIn. To my surprise LinkedIn has become a lot better since Science Twitter's downfall...

(or is it all on Twitter again?)

I'll be there giving my angle from an Ac->Industry perspective!

Two weeks ago, I had ticked off a life time goal: to give the occasional address at the University of Sydney
faculty of Science graduation.

It was an incredible honour to be standing in front of these graduates - a position I was first in ~20 years ago.

This is so cool!

Interesting stuff!

Great stuff @goneill.bsky.social !

I have had other papers pass this mile stone, but this one is special as it was my 1st, first-author paper, and was the output from my PhD many moons ago!

Hey Pradeep - a lot of opportunities in Healthcare! Not sure how active you are on LinkedIn but it’s all happening on there!

📣 First three years of my PhD have culminated in this work now published at PLoS Computational Biology! 🥳 We take a deep dive into all the many ways we can slice n dice fMRI dynamics to quantify biologically relevant properties 🧠🧮

Very cool, thanks for Sharing!

Happy @ohbmofficial.bsky.social submission day for all those that celebrate! 😆

Well deserved!

I'll add years in the works 😅

This is great work, I remember reading this years ago. Do you know if any funding bodies have taken these initiatives seriously (partial lotteries etc)?

Sydney has been crazy humid this week 😪

I think this is worth a read, but it also highlights how hard it is to get the grant just right.

Why can't it just be a series of dot points? So much time and money is wasted/spent in getting the prose and phrasing right.

The grant application process is so time consuming!

So awesome Claire! I'll have to put it on to listen! (I imagine there is some locus coeruleus action too! 😅)

Very cool Breaky! I remember speaking about this with you a while ago! Is the Hippocampal wave 3D or along the hippocampal surface?

We're attempting to make short explainer videos to accompany our main published research papers.

Here is the first, by Brendan, on our recent paper on tracking the distance to a critical point from a noisy time series.
