have you seen a flashing brain today?

two-photon imaging of ai96 x CaMKIIa-Cre transgenic cross in Vis association cortex. Registered with Suite2p. >3k+ neurons over 30 minutes! #neuroscience #AcademicChatter #twophoton #systems #cortex

After 5+ years, it’s finally here! I am so excited to be defending my PhD in Neuroscience on Oct 19th at 2 pm ET. It will be available on Zoom if anyone is interested in attending (DM for details). Thanks to all who helped along the way 🥳

The last paper of my PhD got finally published in #FrontiersInSystemsNeuroscience. This work shows that optogenetics can be used to excite two separated neuronal ensembles along the ICC tonotpy (1)

@LuisZaman 🤣🤣 there’s that glass half-full mindset right there 🔥

GRADUATE WORKERS NEED YOUR HELP.

@UMich has preemptively decided to withhold all but $100 of pay from graduate workers for the month of april, putting many of us in precarious financial situations. please consider donating to @geo3550 strike fund at https://t.co/wBUTlQW7y0 !!

It’s killing me that the strategies laid out by the CIA to sabotage organizations into being as inefficient as possible…. Is literally the standard organization of academia

In academia, PI’s don’t say ‘I miss you’

They say ‘where’s my goddamn data,’ and I think that’s really beautiful 🥰

@paigebyerly We kinda are tho tbh. Rigid definitions never match the underlying highly dimensional fluidity of nature, a virus doesn’t need us to call it living to function and reproduce

My superpower is knowing when someone is waiting on me to do something.

I sense it’s literally every waking moment.
I’m at the top of my game.

[katie❕katiefurman.bsky.social @furmank8]

We can accelerate progress in AI by providing free daycare to all grad students and postdocs working on AI. Ask your funding agency to support daycare-inspired AI!

@pfau @KordingLab Fully appreciate the sentiment and unminced words, quite refreshing.

However, to think fundamental principles neuroscientists have discovered since couldn’t improve priors and optimize in the modern landscape feels reductive and limited in vision
