Hi, I'm a masters student. You may know me from my greatest hits including: "I can't believe I got accepted", "I still don't understand EEG difference waves", and "I don't know my research interests yet". #msc#neuroscience#gradschool
New paper out!!! Even rats that don’t know each other catch one another's emotions. Deactivating the ACC reduces the transmission, showing it depends on the same region that is considered the core of human empathy. https://t.co/FFx06m1C3n
There’s a big difference between being busy and being productive:
Being busy = doing lots of things
Being productive = doing the most important things in the best possible way
Being busy is exhausting. Being productive is energizing.
A massive review of the literature finds that the best predictors of pro-social behavior are:
-social value orientation
-proneness to feel guilt
-humility/honesty

Hey new #gradstudents- You don't have to brag about your accomplishments before #gradschool to prove that you belong here. All that does is feed #impostersyndrome in yourself and others.
Come to grad school for self-development, not to compete against others.

How often do you push yourself to venture outside your comfort zone? Try something that might fail? Set an expectation you’re not sure you can achieve? It’s only when you run after goals that feel slightly out of reach that you discover what you’re really capable of.
Perceiving what others feel and want and reacting accordingly is both complex and important. The mission of the Social Brain Lab is to understand the neural bases of these processes. Read more about the work of the @sbl_nin https://t.co/rxxAK4c9Xh
Earning a Master's instead of a PhD is not a downgrade. The best degree to earn is the one that is right for you and will get you where you want to go in your career. More advice on how to make that decision in my latest column in @cenmag:
