My first post in Mastodon!
I'm Nosrat, I'm doing my PhD in computational neuroscience in university of Geneva.
I’m working on understanding underlying dynamics via direct measurement of neural spiking under the supervision of Timothée Proix.
A repost would be amazing as I’m finding my network here in Mastodon. #neuroscience#computationalneuroscience
Labor Day weekend is always a time of both anticipation as well as trepidation.
Apart from the usual variables, COVID has brought us new generations of high school students who learned under very challenging different conditions from their predecessors.
I am delighted to report that when I met with entering students to discuss the common reading on Friday, they were very engaged, interested, and interesting. A good omen for the first-semester seminar I have to teach
Academic snapshot 2: Just back from the wedding of 1 of our daughter's friends. The father of the bride shared a treasured childhood drawing of her with him.
As a historian of science, however, he was compelled to point out that the position of the 2 figures violated the universal law of gravitation & the figures lacked the full articulation of human joints, as a result of which he was glad his daughter would be working in emergency medicine rather than as an orthopedic surgeon like her husband
No coincidence that my partner, the librarian, has been stockpiling books on self-help topics now that the Internet is practically useless (and increasingly, actively damgerous) for things like "how do I repair X" or "recipe for bread".
@CodexArcanum@carey@SamYourEyes One of the collections I'm responsible for contains a large number of Chilton auto repair guides going back decades. I refuse to weed them, despite low use, because the digital equivalent is very expensive and it's the sort of information that will increasingly be locked behind paywalls

It's giving sun-poisoning or that new fancy version of COVID that nobody has tests for. Throbbing headache, aches, im exhausted and I'm pissing like a Roman fountain.
@RolloTreadway oh is that the server lark? I think the design of this is wrong the server lark should be seemless IMO. put a bunch of peeps off, lucky I'm a geek :)
Anybody find it funny when you can "delete" dangerous items by selling them in games?
You have 4 things in your backpack that are not quest items, but are dangerous according to the game's lore, and they are ALSO worth several hundred gold... so if you want you can just sell them, and somehow the bad guys will never figure out you sold a box of 5 demons, six alien eggs and one glass jar of zombie-virus or whatever to the local hafling merchant? They just... disappear?
