Lyft driver picked me up from UNC, turned out he was a medicinal chemistry post-doc in a building near mine, until his grant got cut last month.

Worked on novel antivirals.

We will likely be looking for someone with expertise with optical methods in vivo, cranial window surgeries in mice, analysis of 2P imaging data (especially ML-based), viral approaches. Nothing posted yet, but I know there are good people looking, so please reach out.

Strong endorse. Although I’d also point out that the good guys on Star Trek are always asking their super-intelligent computers for help as well.

Excited and proud to see all the MICrONS papers out in @nature.com today, including NEURD - a tool we developed in our lab to help with automated proofreading and analysis of large EM connectomes. Check out the beautiful landing page

If you want to feel small and insignificant, stare up at the stars in the sky. If you want to feel how immensely profound, impossibly complex, and just outright improbable your existence is, gaze at the stars in this 1mm^3 cube and realize it's less than a millionth the volume of your own brain.

Instead of refreshing eRA commons to see if I got a grant, I can refresh eRA commons to see if grants still exist

Feels like the part in Jurassic Park when the velociraptors are testing out the electric fence.

This is the difference between Trump 1 and Trump 2. First time around, all his cronies were named stuff like Joey Macaroni and wanted to commit tax fraud and go on Dancing With The Stars. This time, they have names like John Hitlerfuhrer and have spent the last 15 years blogging about phrenology.

Sometimes my left hand shifts over while I'm typing fast and I'm startled to see myself sign off as a leafy vegetable instead of Jake.
