OK... I'm doing it. While I'm not shutting things down here entirely, it's time to move my primary online presence to a place where the SKY is more BLUE. Follow me there at the same handle. I've loved connecting with everyone I have here and want to keep that going 😀
A bittersweet new preprint alert, the last of my work at @KBI_UHN@UHN_Research!
Jeremie Lefebvre, @DrValiante and I computationally deciphered how h- and m-channel over expression promote seizure.
For more… come find me on that OTHER site 😉

Soooo… are people actually moving to the other app? I’m thinking it may be time to make the jump, but I need the push of knowing I’ll find the neuro community over there.
Another #NewPI achievement: the Rich Lab's first poster! Tarun presented his work at the @UConnOUR Fall Frontiers poster session.
In such a short time he's gone from learning Python to diving headfirst into bifurcation theory. Lucky to have him as one of my first undergrads!
How I know I have a grant deadline coming up in a matter of weeks: Any period of supposed "down time" ends with me frantically writing down the ideas and phrases for the grant that inevitably pop into my head 😅😂🤣
A #NewPI question for #AcademicTwitter: How do you deal with email communication that is very clearly AI generated?
My instinct is that this is a dealbreaker (you need to be able to express your interest in the lab!), but I know this could be overkill with equity implications…
I'm so excited for #CNS2024Natal, my first as a PI😀
I'll be speaking twice: once at a tutorial I'm co-organizing on Cortical Network Dynamics, and again at a workshop on multiscale cortical circuits led by the fantastic @m_depitta.
Let me know if you want to catch up in Natal!
I've been quiet here because (breaking news😉) being a #NewPI is hard. But my first semester is done!
There's been a mix of accomplishments (submitting my first grant!) and disappointments (that grant getting rejected!), but the net is positive momentum. I view that as a win😀
As a #NewPI reviewing a flawed manuscript, I make sure not only identify the flaws but suggest ways they might be remedied in revision.
I'm guessing the length and rigor of reviews decays exponentially with time on the job 🤣

I just contacted my reps (@SenBlumenthal@SenMurphyOffice@RepJoeCourtney) to advocate for continued full support for the BRAIN Initiative. For a #NewPI like myself, this funding is CRITICAL!
It took 5 minutes thanks to this tool from @SfNtweets: https://t.co/Bp2XesLE3g
