30 Essays to Make You Love Biology

Day 5. "The Baffling Intelligence of a Single Cell," by James Somers & Edwin Morris.

This interactive article, about chemotaxis and flagella, gives "an intuition for how a bag of unthinking chemicals could possibly give rise to a being."

[Caroline Nettekoven 🧠 @carobellum]

Check out this fantastic work led by @MaedbhK & @ladanshahani providing us with a comprehensive model of how cortical inputs converge in the cerebellum. Another piece of the puzzle of understanding how cerebellum contributes to movement & cognition!

@diedrichsenlab @ivryrich

[Caroline Nettekoven 🧠 @carobellum]

How can we use fMRI to make inferences about cerebellar involvement in specific tasks? @ladanshahani's preprint introduces a clever new approach - and successfully tests it in the motor domain. Excited to be part of this!

A person’s occupation is richly informative but categorical and thus difficult to quantify. We created a freely-accessible tool to convert occupation labels to ratio-scaled scores. Manuscript (https://t.co/md0AwUr5CY) in press in Behavior Research Methods.

What's better than a holiday greeting from the McGovern Institute? How about a holiday greeting in 30 different languages (including Klingon!) from researchers across our labs. You don't want to miss this one - turn up the volume!

New paper in @jneurolang!

@MaedbhK, Sienna Bruinsma and @ivryrich show that individuals with Cerebellar Degeneration exhibit no impairment in semantic prediction.

There's a 750-mile bicycle route in New York. We rode every inch of it, from Manhattan to Buffalo to the Canadian border. This is what it was like. https://t.co/lHAe4gwd34

Many pediatric cancers are fundamentally developmental disorders. With our recent publication we have discovered the origins of medulloblastoma within the developing cerebellum. #teamscience #stjude

So we're not supposed to describe applicants as "caring" and "compassionate" because those words are too feminized. Frankly, this is what's wrong with academia! Can we celebrate stereotypically female traits instead? I'd rather mentor a compassionate student than a driven jerk.

[Senseable Intelligence Group @sensein_]

We are looking for research scientists/engineers and postdocs to work on several collaborative projects including @DANDIarchive @ReproNim and other NIH projects part of the @USBrainAlliance . https://t.co/BgfkBNjBVX Feel free to reach out to @satra_ for more info.

Please RT.

[McGovern Institute @mcgovernmit]

We are so excited to see what comes of @satra_ + @sensein_ research to study the relationship between voice/speech and mental health.
