Update: I was almost happy with one recoding, then the mailman came so my dog had to scream as loud as possible for a bit.

Does anyone else think that this #SfN2021 poster format is hyper stressful?

This is borderline torture for me.

[ViDA Conference @VidaConference]

Dopamine? GABA? co-release? zone incerta? threat response? Join us to hear about them all in a selected talk by @ZDBrodnik

[Zachary Brodnik @ZDBrodnik]

Excited to talk about my most recent work on zona incerta combinatorial dopamine and GABA neurons at #ViDA2021

Catch my talk on Stream 2, this Thursday at 2:20pm

[Zachary Brodnik @ZDBrodnik]

Honored to be selected to give a talk as part of this fantastic series, looking forward to sharing some very new data for the first time!

[BaltimoreBrainSeries @BMoreBrainy]

@BaltimoreSfN @UMMedNeuro @HopkinsNeuro @HopkinsKavli Next up: @UMMedNeuro hosts @GarimaS_18 presenting neural coding of #anxiety in the #mPFC and @ZDBrodnik presenting #dopamine and #GABA modulation of threat response behavior.
We are opening DM's so contact us if you want to join!

Maybe it's time to stop using Tiger Woods as an example for how to raise children with exceptional skill expertise.

[Zachary Brodnik @ZDBrodnik]

@alfcnz @matplotlib @TDTneuro I am using pyqt5.

I am still figuring out how I want the images displayed. Right now I'm just displaying JPGs, but I tried to write in a way where this can be changed easily since I know it's not optimum. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

[Zachary Brodnik @ZDBrodnik]

Been working on a #Python based GUI for fiber photometry analysis in my spare time. It's mostly functional, but there's lots I still want to add

Right now it works for @TDTneuro file analysis, but I could pretty easily add other file sources

Now accepting cool name suggestions

[Zachary Brodnik @ZDBrodnik]

@astrochunly @matplotlib @TDTneuro I will eventually, but I'm not sure I am ready to share everything just yet. Some of the analysis scripts I am using are updates to the common procedure or are completely novel.

I probably want to publish those in some way before giving the general public access.

[Zachary Brodnik @ZDBrodnik]

@HistedLab @TDTneuro The worker then signals a dictionary back to the main thread, and the user can use the display to view the JPGs.

There are problems with this, but it's simple and modular so I like it while I'm still working on things.

[Zachary Brodnik @ZDBrodnik]

@HistedLab @TDTneuro I only started coding in March or so of last year, so I am sure there are more efficient ways to do a lot of what I am doing.

What I am doing right now is running the analysis in a separate thread that uses mayplotlib, saves the images as JPG.

[Zachary Brodnik @ZDBrodnik]

@snpc_404 @TDTneuro Lol I get it now, I thought you were suggesting a development tool I didn't know about!

[Zachary Brodnik @ZDBrodnik]

@snpc_404 @TDTneuro I really appreciate the offer. Also, what is Pynulla? I'm not familiar.

[Zachary Brodnik @ZDBrodnik]

@sofiyahupalo @TDTneuro I think this is a strong front runner.

[Zachary Brodnik @ZDBrodnik]

Excited to finally share this.

This was a passion project that had little to do with my thesis work, and is the second half of a wonderful collaboration with @svmahler. My final first author out of the España lab @DrexelMedicine .

@svmahler @The_Gilp I came here to say this

[Zachary Brodnik @ZDBrodnik]

@JessicaRBarson @Gargiat @gennnevieveee @surya_pandey_ @breannepirino Congrats!!!!!

[Zachary Brodnik @ZDBrodnik]

@DavidBarker_PhD HEY!!!!

[Zachary Brodnik @ZDBrodnik]

Replying @sofiyahupalo

5 jobs before scientists:

1) Marina dock hand
2) Smart board installer
3) IT network specialist
4) Paint formulation intern
5) Bartender (most stressful all of them, including scientist)

Tagging: @DavidBarker_PhD @jmirandab84 @smriti_mongia

[Zachary Brodnik @ZDBrodnik]

@AnnieCholines Honestly, I was prepared for rejection on this one, it was a first submission and a high journal. I'm just confused about the positive reviews.

[Zachary Brodnik @ZDBrodnik]

Just got some manuscript reviews in.

4 quite positive reviews.

We regret to inform you...
