Been interviewing job candidates lately, and been seeing a lot of people who I know are better than they came across. Some thoughts about how to improve your interview performance - a megathread of loosely organized thoughts and opinions ...

Today the @WhiteHouse announced that all federally funded research will be made openly available. Importantly, it eliminates the 12-month embargo. This is the result of decades of work by @SPARC_NA, @petersuber, @mbeisen, and so many more. #OpenAccess https://t.co/baSNzXPh4Y

Just brilliant! 🤩

A 🧵 on burnout

Yesterday I learned that when people are burnt out, their amygdala enlarges. For all you non-neuroscientists, here's what that means and why it's important. 1/

Professor @kaymtye + @haoli1988 from @SalkInstitute have discovered the molecule in the brain responsible for associating good or bad feelings with a memory. The findings published in @Nature have implications for anxiety depression and PTSD @HHMINEWS

How I search and read scientific papers now…

A 🧵

After trying many methods of reading research papers effectively, I have now (at least) settled on this format.

Ann Shulgin died this morning at the age of 91. Her writing made PiHKAL and TiHKAL more than books about chemistry and psychopharmacology, she made them into great love stories. I know that she believed consciousness survives death, I hope she's right and rejoining Sasha.

Dopamine signals in RED! New rGRAB-DA sensors provide much higher in vivo sensitivity and SNR, and enable multiplex imaging with green sensors. #GRAB_sensors

Disappointing, but important, study showing no prevention of symptoms by an anti-amyloid-oligomer antibody in the Colombia early-onset Alzheimer’s presenilin families.

Reading two nice new papers in Nature, but:

Paper 1: submitted January 2020, published May 2022
Paper 2: submitted June 2020, published June 2022

Neither available as a preprint. Why do we still allow journals to hold up dissemination of science?

We need a preprint mandate.
