That being said, in light of what is happening, allow me to state unequivocally: #BlackLivesMatter, #pride started as a riot, #COVID19 is still a global emergency, Chinese grad students should not be barred from the US, #ClimateChange is real.

I was lucky enough to hear him speak at CMU in my first or second year as a PhD student. He was a giant in the field and the stories I've heard about him as a mentor are nothing short of incredible.

It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of Krishna Shenoy. He was a pillar of our community, a brilliant scientist and a beloved mentor and colleague. We share our condolences with Krishna’s family, trainees and colleagues. Details to come on a planned memorial service.

@neuroamyo Only if I’m allowed to cite “the circumstances” as the reason I’m not done spike sorting this week’s recordings 😂

What is your best unproductive and pointless advice to phd candidates?

I train these clever creatures to save victims trapped in collapsed buildings after earthquakes. We kit them out with a rat backpack, and train them to trigger a switch when they find a victim & come back for a tasty treat 🐀

@dr_shlee paging @neuroamyo! there were many fabricated brains to be had around our old lab :)

[Jess @JessTheEngineer]

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice yep. more than once, in more than one lab.

@SivaMurugappan @dr_shlee @OpenAcademics @PhDVoice I definitely slept on the couch in the @pesaranlab at least a handful of times, including during a few overnighters...

Before PhD - I am not that intelligent
After PhD - I know exactly how stupid I am and in what areas

@dougweberlab working on it!! 😉

[Jess @JessTheEngineer]

i forget sometimes that this website exists, but - hey, world, i passed my thesis proposal last week. the tunnel leading to graduation might still be super long, but at least there's a teeny tiny light up ahead now :)

[Jess @JessTheEngineer]

@bijanpesaran many thanks! :)

[Jess @JessTheEngineer]

@neuroamyo thank you!! 🥳

meanwhile, check out the cool stuff my old lab is doing!! this is *so much brain.*

[Pesaran Lab @pesaranlab]

Here's our latest brain window. Drop us a line if you want to use it to study multiregional communication and cognitive BMI using neuropixel arrays, microECoG, and multiphoton microscopy. Stop by the lab to see it in 3D. We're hiring!
