Excited to have my main postdoc work out! Using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing ✂️🧬 in adult mice 🐭, we explore the ion channel mechanisms underlying modes of dopamine neuron firing and reinforcement learning 🧠.
This is a result of truly collaborative and supportive science 🥳
Exciting new work from the @touchyourbrain, Soden, and Zweifel labs, deciphering the regulation of dopamine patterns by ion channels. Congrats to all authors on the awesome work!!

Just re-read the Twitter thread where the guy accidentally let loose a box of cricket in his house from 2018. So good.

I first read this as “the procedure generation”. I think it could catch on a name.
i think an important part of designing for procedural generation is treating it like a friend, not a black box. your generators have a need for context for relevance. they have particular strengths, edge cases they struggle with, particular ways of becoming repetitive.

I have never seen so many anti-homework people in my life. I understand there should be some constraints around it and special cases but walking into a college campus with no preparation for how to manage your time, study on your own, organize, reflect,...🧵
It’s getting wild on here so just in case. I’ve gotten a lot out of science. mstdn.social/@vtbrak

Today, we’re introducing a new model that eliminates accept/reject decisions.
By publishing every paper with eLife reviews as a Reviewed Preprint, we plan to restore autonomy to authors, ensuring that they will be judged by what, not where, they publish. elifesciences.org/inside-eli…

Carley is an absolute rock star and I could gush about her all day. Only 2 months into her graduate program and she’s already basically running my lab, mentoring 13 undergrads, and ready to start her thesis project. 😎
Such an honor to co-mentor her with @vtbrak !

Hey neuroscience SciTweeps, what are some of your favorite papers on issues in experimental design? I'm putting together a graduate seminar w/ broad appeal to behavioral neuroscientists (working mostly in rodents). I'll give a few examples to show what I'm looking for: 1/5 🧵
