Updates from our lab, information theory, & broader scientific research. Research in info flows in networks of communication, computation, and biological.
Our lab is in full force at AES. See talks and posters of joint works by @JasmineKwasa@ApoorvaMahajan6 and Evangeline Mensah-Agyekum!! All three are there, presenting amazing work on improving EEG recordings on Black hair-types. #AES2022
One way to a better world tomorrow is by ensuring equitable healthcare. Visit us at the poster session (3.170) @AmEpilepsySoc#AES2022 to know about how EEG systems can be made more inclusive.

It's all due to @JasmineKwasa@sciencegalnelly and Evangeline Mensah-Agyekum. All amazing @BlackInNeuro researchers!!!
It was thrilling to be there. The biggest thrill of all this was meeting @JasmineKwasa's mom for the first time -- to see where all that amazingness comes from
@YAY@JasmineKwasa and @CMUGroverLab for this accomplishment and recognition for your hard work! (And shout out to Jazz's mom, bursting with pride up there!)

@JTRobinsonLab@Neuronoff@ReachNeuro@Precision_Neuro : the first non-invasive neural interfaces that work with Black hair! Fresh from winning the @upprize last week, a prize for social innovation. From what I hear, they already sell systems that can adapt your EEG to work with all hair-types!
Tonight we won $150K from this incredible competition and community!! So grateful to the organizers, @iwpgh@BNYMellon PGH, and the fellow teams 🤝🏾 for the invaluable experience! #UpPrize2022

CMU’s Thanksgiving Dinner for Graduate Students of Color! @JasmineKwasa delivered the perfect keynote, her story of academic triumph in biomedical engineering/neuroscience parallel to her mental health challenges and the importance of prioritizing health, self care! #cmudiversity
Good news for the youth: the Washington State Minimum Wage Act has set starting postdoc salaries at $65,484 from Jan 2023. It’s a good start to addressing life affordability at this critical stage. Come west! @UW_PBIO @uwcnc@UW
MIT just emailed postdocs announcing raising the postdoc minimum to $65k starting Jan 2023. It’s ~$10k more than the previous minimum. With cost of living & inflation the extra will help. Thank you for listening to us! And thank you to those who advocated for us!
@TaylorAbelMD’s dedication to our community is tireless - that’s why we gave him our first Relentless award! Thank you for giving hope to children with medication-resistant seizures.
