The Machine Learning Team at NIMH is hiring a research scientist

https://t.co/oU9kcknbYF

with an emphasis on deep learning methods for applications in psychology, neuroscience, and psychiatry, using brain imaging, text, and other data types. Please RT or forward, thank you!

@elvisha9 Not a book, but @NIH_OITE has a great series on mentoring/managing https://t.co/EyAcfYwd6a

@elvisha9 Pink Brain Blue Brain by @Lise_Eliot is slightly dated (published 2009) but is still a great & rigorous overview of of sex/gender differences from basic neuro to sociology.

@KordingLab Maybe someone in the professional science writing community with neuro expertise? @BeeBrookshire

I'm assuming twitter employees with stock got $$$ when it was taken private. What's the chance that it tanks enough that a bunch of former employees can buy it back & turn it into a worker owned cooperative?

Come and work within the team of SPINs. We are looking forward to welcoming researchers who want to develop and apply cool methods of fMRI and/or fNIRS for brain physiology and cognitive and clinical neuroscience @ISMRMIberian @SfNIRS @ISMRM @icpnetwork

@shotgunosine https://t.co/g3WCo8anAT (or the AFNI GUI) can give you labels for a location in a wide range of brain atlases. You should also be able to open up all those atlases within AFNI.

@PessoaBrain If I'm reading correctly, this should spark controversy beyond the amygdala. Consistent diffs in results in large vs small N studies implying small N is reliable, but can sample a distinct group. Automated alignments critical for large N mean amyg results are not reliably in amyg

@R3RT0 @WiringTheBrain @PessoaBrain Not there this year, but I treat SFN like it's dozens of smaller interdisciplinary conferences all under one roof. Advanced agenda planning is a must, but there's a cross section of work that relevant to me that's rare at any other conference. Also networking.

new posting for a junior faculty position in neuroimaging at BU BME! a great environment for neuroscience and imaging!

@HenryYin19 FWIW, this does get a bit messier since overhead that institutions pull from extramural grants isn't pulled from ZIA grants, but there are other expenses that are baked in. That might vary across NIH institutes so I wouldn't know how to make a more precise head-to-head comparison

[Daniel Handwerker @DanHandwerker]

@HenryYin19 I'm not trying to debate what levels are appropriate. I'm just trying to make sure any discussion is based on accurate numbers.

[Daniel Handwerker @DanHandwerker]

@HenryYin19 I count 71 ZIA grants over $3.5mil and many of those are for research that is infrastructure development (vaccine development, rare tumor networks...). Many institute directors & scientific directors are also in that group. I get your overall point. Just pushing to more accuracy.

[Daniel Handwerker @DanHandwerker]

@HenryYin19 Extramural infrastructure costs that don't come from grants in the extramural world are part of the overall intramural budget. Also, extramural supporting infrastructure, like NLM & some biobanks are part of the IRP budget. Lab budgets are high, but aren't total$/# investigators

Hoping @SfNtweets has some presence on mastodon. Depending on how it goes, they could be a sufficiently large/stable org to host a neuro-focused mastodon server or support ($, time, facilitation) a more general science community.

[Daniel Handwerker @DanHandwerker]

The same day I decided to download all my tweets, I got a notification of #MyTwitterAnniversary I'm not super-active here so I can wait to see which mastodon servers others like, but I doubt I'll be spending as much time here in another year.

[Daniel Handwerker @DanHandwerker]

Also realizing I opened this account before the @SfNtweets 2013 meeting because twitter became a critical meeting navigation tool. I suspect the meeting next week will be a good stress/functionality test for neuro people trying out mastodon servers.

@mbeisen Easy solution. $ for any name changes and, for $8/month you get a trusted clown icon so that your official parody account can change names as many times as you want.
