Very excited and proud to share my postdoctoral research with @neurrriot.bsky.social looking at the context-specific encoding of social behavior 💃🕺 in hormone-sensitive, large-scale brain networks in mice!

This weekend in the garden, the standout is the Peaches and Dreams dahlia. 🌱 #FlowerReport from VA
#Bloomscrolling #dahlia

Peachy petals radiating out from the center, with yellow tones toward the center.

The petals on this bloom are a much darker pink.

Several different shades in different flowers.

Classic bloom, peachy pink with a distinctive yellow center.

I'm erring on not coding switching as much as possible and not going to share my strategy for otherwise, but I think a discerning reader would see my meaning.

I also get a lot of advice to not code switch, to be clear. It's just hard to know what line is appropriate when it's all contextual based on the individuals and you don't get to know who's playing by what rules.

I'm worried about getting job offers pulled by admin bc I mention how my transness informs my work. Bc they're afraid of state retribution for hiring me.

I get advice to code switch.

The farther I get from full disclosure, the less genuine it reads & becomes.

This is not a free and open society.

I was told not to teach a class on the intellectual histories of Zionism and Anti-Zionism next year - not because they doubted I could teach it fairly, but because it would attract too many politicians scrutinizing the syllabus.

A society where that is a valid fear is no longer fully democratic.

Live every day like it's Yom Kippur: Go for way too long without eating or drinking while obsessing about everything you did wrong.

The ADL has so thoroughly failed the needs of Jews and marginalized communities in the US.

But what do I know, I'm just descended from an Atlanta Jewish family that was friends with Leo and Lucille Frank.

The academic job market is cool because you and all your friends and everyone they know are currently applying for literally the same professor jobs.

What concerns me is not that Democrats will compromise on something like trans athletes--that question is at SCOTUS now and thus beyond their reach anyway. What concerns me is that I hear far more about what rights of mine they're willing to sacrifice and very little about what rights they'll defend

Thank you! The animal tracking was done w SLEAP, I wrote the code to create the video from those data in MATLAB.

I don't have the code ready to share just yet but it will be online by the time the paper is published.

Most of the code for the work was written in MATLAB w some parts in python

eartha mae @endoeartha.bsky.social · 10d

Ha! It really does

And thank you!

The ADL, meanwhile, is very upset about being criticized by the Democratic candidate for NYC mayor, but they have said nothing about the Vice President of the US using the term "blood libel" to describe criticism of ICE agents.
