I don’t know about others, but writing a personal statement is such a demanding and emotional process for me.
Revisiting my path and the challenges while also putting my dreams into words overwhelms me and makes me cry every single time. 🥹✨

[Pavithra Rajeswaran @NeuroPavi]

@SergeyStavisky @neuroamyo Yes I do!! She is awesome!! 😎

[Pavithra Rajeswaran @NeuroPavi]

🍰 Feeling incredibly grateful for my advisor who celebrated this preprint with a cake she baked herself! 🥳 It's the sweetest gesture of appreciation and encouragement. Thank you @neuroamyo for making this milestone even more special! #Grateful #PhDLife #BestAdvisor

[Amy Orsborn, PhD 👩‍🔬🐵 @neuroamyo]

So thankful for this inspiring collaboration, made possible in part by generous support from the Simons Foundation.

A epic congrats to @NeuroPavi for leading the way!

And here's the lab's first pre-print celebration cake - hopefully the first of many to come.

🎓Thrilled to share my first PhD preprint!

Our research reveals that adaptive decoders in BCIs can reshape the brain's learning process, creating compact neural representations that don't decrease in dimensionality. 🧠✨ Dive in for more!

New preprint; time for a #tweeprint!

When we learn a new skill like riding a bike, we often use training wheels to help us. Does that influence what we learn? @NeuroPavi, Alex Payeur, @g_lajoie_ and I used BCIs & RNN models to find out.

[Pavithra Rajeswaran @NeuroPavi]

An excellent post bac opportunity to consider!!

[Amy Orsborn, PhD 👩‍🔬🐵 @neuroamyo]

🚨opportunity alert! 🚨
The Accelerating AI Algorithms for Data-Driven Discovery (A3D3) institute is recruiting postbaccs! The program lets folks dive into cutting edge research using ML in physics, astronomy, & neuroscience. Reach out if you have ?s https://t.co/sKC08QO30v

@natolambert Wow 🤩 slidedeck! Thanks for sharing!

[Ya'el Courtney, PhD @ScienceYael]

Interested in the HHMI Gilliam fellowship? This super informative video from my friend and Gilliam fellow Lillian Horin is a must-watch. It talks about how to win the fellowship, even with the application changes this year!

Just another dull weekend...
Oh wait, India's only playing in the Cricket World Cup 🏏 and OpenAI mass exit -> Microsoft 🤖💻.

What a weekend!! #openai #tech #ai #ResponsibleAI #SamAltmanExit #WorldCup2023india

[Amy Orsborn, PhD 👩‍🔬🐵 @neuroamyo]

Attending SfN2023? Be sure to add the Women In Neural Engineering (WINE) Symposium to your calendar! Panel discussion with industry/academia experts on negotiation + social hour with snacks and drinks after. Sunday 6:30pm, Renaissance Hotel rooms 10/11. 🍷🧠💪

[Ya'el Courtney, PhD @ScienceYael]

with biomedical PhD apps due soon, I get a lot of requests for help/advice this time of year. From my own experiences and including others' resources, I made this guide that I use to lead workshops, but also stands alone as a resource. Please share!

Depressing, yes. Surprising? Not so much.
This is precisely why the @network_alba #ALBADeclaration focused so heavily on workplace culture:

Toxic workplaces are the main reason women leave academic jobs

I presented a poster on our work that shows how adaptive decoders change the way the brain learns. Curious!? Reach out to me.

Led by myself and Alexandre Payeur sparked by the collaboration between @neuroamyo and @g_lajoie_ .

[Pavithra Rajeswaran @NeuroPavi]

Had a great time at the @AllenInstitute #AllenLake conference in Seattle. Exceptional speakers, enlightening sessions and oh my, the boat cruise 🚢!!

[Pavithra Rajeswaran @NeuroPavi]

@djoshea @SFARIorg Congratulations Dan!! So exciting!! 🥳

[neurosock🧠Brain Chips🦾 @neurosock]

Back in August, scientists revealed they had used AI to read the mind of 29 patients.

They reproduced a Pink Floyd 🤘🏽 song just from brain waves.

Crazy.

[Sumner L Norman @SumnerLN]

So proud to have been a part of the (insanely talented) @AEStudioLA team that made this happen.

Go check out the GitHub. Build on it. Beat our method! Share. Repeat :)

[Pavithra Rajeswaran @NeuroPavi]

@AcademicChatter One day at a time when things are foggy.
Also, treat research like a job. Show up, do what you can, go home, show up the next day.
