Chair of Pharmacology and Toxicology - Salt Lake City, Utah job with The University of Utah | 37914733 The University of Utah seeks a Chair of Pharmacology and Toxicology

After 10 years, I am stepping down as chair of our department and we have an active search going on! Utah is a phenomenal place to live and work and it's been the honor of a lifetime chairing the department founded by Lou Goodman. #MedSky #Neuroskyence Repost!

Me, a neuroscience PhD, checking for the 747th time if DRG neurons are CNS or PNS

Warning. ⚠️ If you are writing an NSF GRFP, new this year, you need official transcripts to apply. Beware. They will not review applications without official transcripts. ‼️

📣Interested in doing a postdoc at Yale?📣
We’re looking for someone with a strong molecular biology/biochemistry background who’s eager to learn multiphoton imaging + behavior. No systems neuro experience needed!
Our lab will be at SfN (poster PP3, Monday PM) - happy to chat!

Europe's MSCA postdoctoral fellowships are now attracting many researchers who would have gone to the US. So the payline has dropped below 10% (~1,600 fellowships to 17k applicants). Super tough situation. One more reason to double the next Horizon budget, as proposed by the EU Commission.

You sure scared me when I looked at the registration fees 😱

Reading PhD thesis as the outside committee member.

After 13 years in the US, I’ve made the difficult decision to leave. Having packed up everything and rethought about priorities, rather painstakingly, while I’m sad to leave the life I’ve made here, I’m also relieved that I won’t have to plan my life around immigration policies anymore.

The amount of AI generated art in slides at this conference, primarily used by older scientists, is killing me. Scientists please. Don’t use these ai platforms to make your figures or slides. They look bad and I have yet to see them meaningfully improve the message of talks.

ATTN: Two faculty positions are available in my department (neuroscience) at the University of Minnesota. This is a general search with no topic focus. November 20th application deadline.

It is depressing that we (i.e. the scientific community) can't break out of this bizarro world where publishing in a $$$ Journal is considered a valid proxy for high impact science.

That merely being “under review” by a Nature family journal is offered as a quality proxy for a paper is a tragic illustration of the extent to which academia is addicted to brands and outsources evaluation

Apply to become a CSHL-Simons Fellow in Neuroscience!

I have seen too many junior-to-mid career people making this mistake so I need to get this message out there:

Once you get your first big award (R01, CAREER, standard NSF, BL2 DoD), your most important task is to publish papers that cite that grant for support.

Looks like you really need a catchy name to publish in @natmethods.nature.com 😅

We have a little bit less than 2 weeks left until we begin application review-consider joining us at Penn State! We are open to ANY areas of neuroscience, and I can genuinely say The PSU Biology Department is a fantastic place to work. please share broadly!

Transfer learning via distributed brain recordings enables reliable speech decoding - Nature Communications Speech brain-computer interfaces face challenges scaling across individuals with different brain organization. Using minimally invasive recordings from 25 patients, the authors developed transfer learning methods that enable robust speech decoding even with incomplete brain coverage.

New Paper in Nature Communications!

We present exciting work on applying transfer learning on minimally invasive recordings to build scalable speech BCI for a more heterogeneous population. #iEEG #neuroskyence

Ed Kravitz passed away yesterday.
He was a remarkable scientist and mentor- brilliant, curious, creative, and kind. I am grateful to have learned from him. His legacy will endure through his science and through the many people he inspired.

We will miss you, Ed.

1. The philosophy of science sometimes gets an unearned reputation as a purely academic exercise that offers little by way of concrete tools for advancing research.

This is wrong.

And today, as we grapple with how AI is changing the nature of scientific activity, it's desperately wrong.
