Assoc Prof at the University of Virginia. Studying how early experience shapes neural dynamics in the auditory system. Refuse to be hurried.

I see the crows are out there farting around like none of this concerns them.

Congrats to Yao, Francesca, and the rest of the team! This paper was a long labor of love.

#JNeurosci: Lu, @cdmeliza et al. @UVAPsyc @uvaneuro found that neurons in the developing zebra finch auditory cortex can rapidly shift their spiking dynamics within a few minutes in response to intracellular stimulation.

@mediageek It's good to be the king.

How on earth did a penguin get a job in Norway?

This is Nils Olaf, a king penguin who is the colonel-in-chief of the Norwegian King's Guard. Here he is inspecting the troops of his battalion following his knighthood ceremony in 2008.

The host may be Homo sapiens, but the vector is clearly late-stage capitalism. Even with all the malice and skill in the world, you could not have designed a weapon that so precisely targeted the rotten foundations.

We are hiring a #postdoc interested in neuroethology, electrophysiology, and behavior to come study somatosensory and auditory perception in songbirds at McGill U in Montreal. More details on the position & lab here: https://t.co/o7LJKU3na3 Please RT!

From an actual email sent to me by my university's wellness program....where do I start?

@robertslab @CircadianClocks @UTSWNeurosci @UTSWBrain Congrats Todd! Richly deserved!

University wireless crashed 20 minutes into administering a test through our LMS, and trying to come up with an equitable solution is on track to burn up every single minute I saved grading on the computer versus paper.

European civilization is built on ham and cheese, which allowed protein to be stored throughout the icy winters.

Without this, urban societies in most of central Europe would simply not have been possible.

This is also why we have hardback books. Here's why. 1/

We're still hiring! Looking for an electrophysiologist to investigate experience-dependent plasticity in the songbird auditory system. https://t.co/AT4dGaCC2g

New preprint! Zebra finches experience illusory continuity (akin to phonemic restoration), and we see responses to the illusion throughout auditory cortex. No need for attention or specific memories. A general model of song encoded in local connections? https://t.co/BJaX10XA8R
