Dr. Mae Jemison, MD, the first black woman in space and first actual astronaut to appear on a Star Trek show, one of the very few people on this planet of whom two pictures can be posted depicting them doing their job on a spaceship with entirely different contexts.

Just moved to neuromatch.social, so here it goes (again), #introduction :
Hi everyone, I'm a last year undergrad in #Neuroscience & #ComputerScience at McGill. I'm doing #ComputationalNeuroscience research in the Baillet Lab at The Neuro (MNI), focusing on whole-brain dynamical models of coupled neural masses calibrated to #MEG #Neuroimaging data (more details @ https://neurolife77.github.io/ if anyone is curious).
I am also the VP of the #MachineLearning committee at PharmaHacks, a hackathon that blends #Biology & #DataScience with a focus on #Pharma.

------------------------ Bonus ------------------------
Since I have the space to put it in the same post now, thanks to the freedom in post length from this new server, here's a bonus:
I regularly share links to preprints that catch my attention and tag them with: #arxivfeed
I started doing this because I thought that the arxiv bots on mastodon were not super efficient, but after doing it for about a month I'd say it's also a good way to keep some form of history of my nightly exploration of the literature in my fields of interest. I usually share stuff about #ComputationalNeuroscience, #Neuroimaging, #DynamicalSystems, #MachineLeaning, #ArtificialIntelligence, etc.
Disclaimer: I usually only read the abstract or skim through them at the time of posting.
Disclaimer 2: I am definitely not consistent.
Without a lab, access to research libraries/university facilities, entomologist Charles Henry Turner (1867β1923) died with a personal library of 1,000+ books, having published 50+ scientific papers; he revolutionized our knowledge of ants (Earthβs most abundant animal); he was 1st to prove insects can hear& distinguish pitch, alsi 1st scientist to achieve Pavlovian bug conditioning, training moths to beat their wings when he whistled #BlackHistoryIsHistory h/t @mariapopova

As a kid, Iβd eat yeast and sit in the oven.
Thatβs just how I was raised.
Whoa, almost stepped on a cladonia city today - and a new species for me I believe, Cladonia verticillata. The pixies really went crazy when they built this one, I counted 5 stories in some of the buildings!

Most of my embroidery is intuitive in that I pick colors and sometimes a stitch and then I just let the threads talk to each other. If anyone speaks βthread,β Iβd love a translation cuz these had something to say.
The experience of deja vu occurs when someone in the future who's reading your biography loses their place, and flips back a few pages to reread them.
