IMPRS Neuroscience PhD student working towards understanding functional connectivity changes during sleep in epilepsy patients

Our accepted manuscript is now online in SLEEP! 🧠💤
Using overnight intracranial EEG in people with drug-resistant focal epilepsy, we show that slow-wave sleep selectively amplifies network signatures of the presumed epileptogenic zone.

🔥 Today, researchers unveiled the connectome of the male adult fruit fly nerve cord.

🧠 With about 23K neurons, 10 million pre-synaptic sites & 74 million post-synaptic densities, it’s the most in-depth & complete wiring diagram of a fly nerve cord.

We leave Australian shores short of achieving our dream and with disappointment in our hearts but we can take back a lot of memorable moments as a group and aim to get better from here on.

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.

@tamminenilab Congratulations Ghazala! It was great to not only have you as a lab mate but also as a friend. You are knowledgeable, a hard worker and have a never give up attitude! I'm sure you will excel in whichever path that you chose. All the best for your future! 😃

[Vismitha Nadig @Vismitha_Nadig]

@mr__humanbeing @tamminenilab Thank you!

[Vismitha Nadig @Vismitha_Nadig]

A fitting conclusion to the Hyderabad chapter. Thank you @tamminenilab sir for giving the opportunity to carry out my master's project in your lab! Had fun learning from you. Your insights and motivation kept me invested in the project. Thanks the lab members for the guidance!

[Vismitha Nadig @Vismitha_Nadig]

@tamminenilab Thank you so much for the encouraging words sir, I hope I keep up to your expectations and strive to do better everyday!

Grief isn’t just for death. You can grieve losses of all kinds - relationship endings, moving on from a job or school program, parts of your childhood, etc. But one particularly nebulous form of grief is grieving an idea- a dream that won’t come true, a plan that must change.

When you interview young applicants be the interviewer that you hope your own child would get. Putting the applicant at ease is something interview committees must be trained for.

An active pursuit of happiness. That is what is often missing in an academic life. In fact people look down upon you if you are happy and carefree, as if you don't belong.

Stress and constant judgement. There is an overabundance of these in academia, as if this is THE normal.

Does anyone have any grad school/PhD podcasts they listen to? Or marine sci PhD related podcasts? #phdchat

Next time anyone in my lab complains about a challenging protocol - I am going to tell them about this study 😜

The saddest thing about doing science is that >90% of the 'Eureka!' moments are not when you discover something new, but rather when you understand why the experiment went wrong
