I'm a Canadian postdoc who has returned home after a stint in Paris. I like neuroscience research with a nerdy edge, accompanied with a glass of wine.

@Prokaryota Most heat shock ecoli will take up a purified vector if you vortex for 10s and plate immediately. It is inefficient for transformation but efficient time. You only need one colony to expand.

@amuthenerd Suspect for sure.

But what will we get our undergrad students to do now?

[Nature Neuroscience @NatureNeuro]

A toolbox called #DeepLabCut that uses deep learning to track body parts during various behaviors across multiple species can achieve human accuracy https://t.co/ncF1DiFJ1V

A lesson the majority of students don't learn during their PhD which can drive them away from Academia: "Done is better than perfect: overcoming PhD perfectionism" https://t.co/BOl3YqLw9R

@DrKateJMiller @DrSeanMaurice I think they cut that sentence off “...due to staff shortages that put patient care at risk. “
