Absolutely loving Callie Chappell's live sketches of our #ComSciCon22 sessions! Here are some of the takeaways from our panel discussion about Diversity in #scicomm featuring science illustrator Gb Kim, astrophysicist & author @huei_sears, and neuroscientist & podcaster Dr Bashir | Her Royal Science.

Another *fantastic* live sketch by Callie Chappell summarizing today's #ComSciCon22 workshop about communicating "controversial science," led by journalist @ShannonGeary.

It was so fun to invite Gabi Serrato Marks, PhD to lead a workshop about disability in STEM & accessible #scicomm at #ComSciCon22. Gabi & I met as ComSciCon attendees back in 2017, so this feels very full circle. It was also just a stellar (see what I did there Stellate Communications?!) session!

This afternoon at #ComSciCon22 we had a great #scipol panel with Pam DiBona Pam DiBona from Extinction Rebellion Boston 🐝⌛🦋/Scientist Rebellion and physician & state senator Dr. Dr. Saud Anwar. Lots of lessons, many of which are captured in this brilliant live sketch by Callie Chappell.

Well, that's a wrap on #ComSciCon22! 🎬 It was so gratifying to see things come together after so much hard work by so many people. Savoring the lessons learned from speakers & attendees alike.

It's been over a week, but I'm still basking in the afterglow of ✨#ComSciCon22✨ and digging deeper into the amazing #scicomm stories & resources our participants shared. So I appreciate this 🧵 by Callie Chappell summarizing Maddie Sofia's fantastic keynote & linking to more info!

Fascinating line of work from Ev (like in 'evidence', not Eve) Fedorenko 🇺🇦's lab, studying the brains of folks missing part (or all!) of their temporal lobes -- including Helen Santoro, who wrote about her experience in NYT Science: nyti.ms/3RlWui6

Really enjoyed playing a small part in this project spearheaded by Greta Tuckute & Jenelle Feather, examining the relationship between the representations of sounds in auditory deep neural networks (DNNs) and human auditory cortex. Check out the tweetprint & the preprint!

Had a fantastic time at the International Conference on Auditory Cortex (ICAC) in Magdeburg, Germany! Got to hang with old friends and meet new ones, hear about all kinds of exciting science, and consume lots of yummy German beer and sausages. 🧠🍻🇩🇪 #ICAC2022

This is a fantastic opportunity for post-bac folks interested in cognitive neuroscience! Nancy Kanwisher @[email protected] is an incredible mentor & her lab is a great place to do science (I miss it!). Apply, apply, apply!

Another cool job alert! Ev (like in 'evidence', not Eve) Fedorenko 🇺🇦 is a brilliant scientist & wonderful human, and this project promises to teach us a lot about brain organization and plasticity.

The application for this year's ComSciCon Flagship Workshop is open! This is a fantastic opportunity for grad students interested in #scicomm. I attended in 2017 & have been on the organizing committee most years since then, so I'm happy to answer questions. Do it, do it, do it!

Nice review paper from Prof Sophie Scott CBE's group on song responses in human auditory cortex. Lots of exciting questions for future research, a few of which we're hoping to tackle in Sam Norman-Haignere's lab...

Working with Anya would be a fantastic opportunity for folks interested in the relationship between language & thought. Important, interesting research questions & a great mentor!

It's so exciting to see my former lab mates & friends land awesome jobs and start their own labs! Ratan is super smart & a great scientist, but more importantly, he's a kind & thoughtful person. Don't sleep on the opportunity to join his lab!

Honored to have played a small part in this exciting work by Jenelle Feather & Greta Tuckute, investigating deep neural network (DNN) models of auditory cortex. Some of the cool findings explained in Greta's 🧵 below! And check out the MIT News coverage: news.mit.edu/2023/deep-neur…
