@sergeydoestweet @PresNCM Well said! You can definitely count on the neuroscience community to support you all professionally. Please take care of yourself and each other for now and reach out for any support.
@RNELabs@slimanjbensmaia This is truly shocking and saddening to hear. Sliman had been a personal inspiration and a guidepost since grad school! I still remember talking to him at SFN as a novice student years ago and being shown tough support. Sensory neuroscience has lost a giant and a powerhouse!
@KordingLab Radical idea! I think a cross between a hackathon (ideathon?) and a panel discussion. Conferences or funding agency (e.g., NIH working grps) could organize these events every 2/3 years for identifying new areas needing funding
@BarhateMeetali Extremely unfortunate for them to hold prior experience as such a strict criteria! My mentors never held that against me.Highlight your transferrable skills - data management and analysis (even in Excel),handling images (ImageJ?).I brought immunohisto skills to my first Neuro lab
when “Democracy was on the ballot”… every other time during America’s past…
There isn’t a single historical example of a majority of white voters choosing democracy.
Never.
Start there.
@sergeydoestweet @ashleyruba Precisely what I did, but that's a very specific choice and planned use of a postdoc. Would need a lot of exposure and knowledge of the lay of the land to wield that choice well
@sergeydoestweet @ashleyruba That's a very unique set of circumstances for Neurotech and it most likely won't last long. For the vast majority of postdocs though, postdoc is actually a hurdle and is years of lost pay and seniority in a potential non-academic career.

@Guppy_Galaxy @carina_plant @AmandaMurdie it's unfortunate you feel that way. I'm from a non English-speaking nation as well. I should have mentioned that I insist that the journals should provide the said linguist services - for free. I deeply believe we need to push back on journals and their hegemony.
Spotted a peregrine falcon in NYC! Was sitting <30 ft away on the roof yesterday evening (Forest Hills, Queens). Did not notice a band on it's leg. Not a NYC native, perhaps? Any idea on age and sex?

@JackKrell873@CalFalconCam @penumbra_w @BirdingBobNYC@BirdCentralPark@BirdQueens Yeah, I was surprised too that he wasnt banded if from nyc. As per @BirdingBobNYC, not all NYC peregrines are banded. He did look to be on the smaller side, so most definitely a male. What other info might help in figuring out where he might be from? Not that I have anything more
NYS Department of Environmental Conservation tracks peregrine falcons in the NY state. NYC might have the largest urban population of peregrine falcons anywhere. This, after complete disappearance from the area in the 1960s!!
