My lab’s 5-year NIH R01 grant, awarded to study gene therapy for hearing loss, was abruptly terminated. I want to share how this action has been incredibly harmful and disruptive, not just to my lab, but to the scientific process itself. 1/15

1/✨ New paper in #eNeuro! How do dominance behaviors vary across mouse strains? Turns out, it’s not one-size-fits-all! Comparing CD1 & C57 mice, we found strain-specific behaviors that could change how we study social hierarchy in the lab🧵 Paper here: https://t.co/iw1hBNXT0z

What are the brain’s “real” tuning curves? Our new preprint "SIMPL: Scalable and hassle-free optimisation of neural representations from behaviour” argues that existing techniques for latent variable discovery are lacking. We suggest a much simpl-er way to do things. 1/21🧵

Last year @TonyZador et al called to train a new generation of AI researchers, equally at home in engineering/computer science & neuroscience to accelerate our understanding of the nature of intelligence, but how can we get this interdisciplinary training right? 🧵@NatureComms

Ever wanted to record behavior in dozens of operant chambers on a budget? We have a solution to record 60 animals simultaneously at 1/10th of the cost of commercial systems!

Six tips for going public with your lab’s software: https://t.co/Kc6svMnzZg 1) make time for maintenance 2) simplify installation 3) add a GUI or good CLI 4) good documentation 5) use github/git 6) automated testing Any other tips people have? #OpenScience #OpenSource
