Definitely one of my favourite sessions at #SIAMDS23 😍. Impossible to fall asleep during these fascinating talks on circadian rhythm 🌄, body clock⌚, and sleep-wake cycle 😴. @DynamicsSIAM

The perception of IQ as a seemingly objective measure of intelligence is frequently used to promote racist pseudoscience on social media.
For this reason, I think it's extremely important for people to know some relevant facts about IQ:

In preparation for @BritishNeuro’s #BNA2023 I am thinking about inclusive poster design 📝
A few simple tips...
Dyslexic-friendly font
1.5 line spacing
Sufficiently large text
High contrast and colour-blind friendly colours
Simple layout - no clutter!

Excellent start to 2023 for twitterless Dr. Timna Hitrec. Not only did she drive this fine project, she has now embarked on setting up her own lab at the University of Bologna. Great person to work with--keep an eye out potential post-grads!

Great to get this out--scheduled exercise and molecular expression in the suprachiasmatic nuclei, liver, and lung. Hats off to
@alunhughes1 @JeanFustin @lottie_muir and twitterless Timna Hitrec, Cheryl Petit, and Emily Cryer.

AI is changing everything, and it's not just ChatGPT or self-driving cars.
You'd be surprised at just how broadly AI is being applied across tons of industries.
I’ve now invested in 50 AI startups, and here are some recent investments using AI in fascinating applications 👇

The chronobiology and sleep fields have lost a wonderful colleague and friend to many. Steve Brown died from injuries sustained in an accident on Wednesday. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, lab and colleagues. RIP.

(Thread) In the first What If? book, I answered a question about cooking a steak by dropping it from space. At one point, I commented—jokingly!—that if anyone put a steak in a hypersonic wind tunnel to gather better data, I’d love to see the video.
Well, I have good news.

Excited to present our work at #emnlp2022 #BlackboxNLP!🤩With @conorjh and Nina Kazanina.
We use gender agreement to study the mechanisms behind LSTMs' linguistic abilities. Contributing to the debate on how humans vs. machines process language🔍arxiv.org/abs/2211.00153

Mathematics.
I just love factorization diagrams. They almost seem to make numbers come alive, each with a unique personality. Here are the numbers 1 to 36.

Naaaaah, this neuron is too cool not to share. This beauty of a CA1 pyramidal neuron was from one of my in vivo patch recordings, filled with biocytin, and recovered by our visiting scientist in the lab. It's colour coded based on depth within the slice. Happy #FluorescenceFriday

Postgraduate students in the UK now earn *less* then minimum wage!
This is already an emergency not even taking into acount the impact of soaring inflation and rising energy prices.
We need urgent action!
