Quick foray back here to say NEW PREPRINT OUT: "Hippocampal trace coding dominates and disrupts place coding". I'm biased but I think it's super cool! You can find it here: https://t.co/XMT3IUo7tj and you can find a summary of it over on the sky place, same username :)
TOMORROW, 8/22! How does hippocampus (HPC) represent task-related stimuli across diff environments, given that HPC cells exhibit place-specific activity that changes across contexts (remapping)? FIND OUT as @Mr_Beto_Corona & @gabs_zb welcome Dr. Hannah Wirtshafter to #MSNseminars

Excited to share that our paper is published in @Nature today! This incredible work was led by the amazing @IpshitaZ, one of the most inspiring neuroscientists I met during grad school. She has taught me so much about the pure love for science as well as the strength and resilience needed to navigate its challenges. As a junior PhD student, I was fortunate to learn from her example—her unwavering passion to ask the most important questions in the field, her strength in the face of adversity, and her thoughtfulness as well as warmth left a lasting impact on me. During moments when I felt overwhelmed or the road forward felt hopeless, her strength inspired me to push forward, to try just one more time.
Having a role model like her early in my career has been invaluable, and I am deeply grateful to learn from her.
I am pleased to announce the publication of our special issue on scientific histories of hippocampal research in the journal Hippocampus! This special issue contains articles by many influential contributors to our field. https://t.co/6LoCtvc5xy

Kariko's publishing record is not, IN ANY WAY, a rebuke of our impact-obsessed publishing system. Only in the HHMI Comic Universe are these Kariko papers low impact. In the real world this is a high prestige, difficult to achieve publishing record. And you can see if you read Kariko's memoir how all the dysfunction we talk about with SNC permeates EVERY journal, and why we need to do more than paper things over by hiding journal names on our CVs - WE NEED TO BLOW THE WHOLE SYSTEM UP.
