Dear neighborhood community leader,
You're a very nice guy, but is the leafblower on a Sunday afternoon, really that necessary? Or a leafblower at all? These dead leaves belong to the ground where they fell (and their goal is to fertilize it) not in an incinerator.

So oral exam at end of PhD. Good idea or just a tradition that doesn't make any sense any more? What are the good things about them? If we didn't do them, how else could we get those good things?

elduvelle,
@elduvelle@neuromatch.social avatar

@lana @neuralreckoning 👆This! And also pretty much the first time (possibly only, if people move on from academia) when you can gather some specialists to talk about topics that interest you and who also consider you an expert. So closure, recognition, exchange of ideas. (At least that’s what it is in France, I heard the UK one was more like an exam and is not public, that’s probably not as nice to experience)

    In Mastodon, if you type @ in a post and then start typing a person's name does it autocomplete?

    I feel like it did before, but now it's not working.

    I'm in one of my rotations where I remember that the Fediverse exists and I actually open the app/website, look at things, and post occasionally again. I might forget about it again at any point and not see notifications for a while, but I'll be back again eventually. 😂

    @keithwilson we are running the “glitch” branch which has some extra perks (like markdown formatting, I don’t remember the other ones) and we also have search and hashtag follow. I have to say the search has its limits but I don’t think that’s specific to our server.
    Our admins are also working on getting fetch all replies to work. They’re very, very nice :)

    I do like the idea of being able to invest in smaller sustainability and community oriented companies directly. Say, a small urban delivery company that uses cargo e-bikes through a crowdfunding platform. And apparently I'm not alone!

    Call for paper contributions! Donate your preprint/ paper/ repository to the Neuroscience Reprohack on 7 and 8 May in Amsterdam.
    Authors will get a free reproducibility check and feedback on their efforts. Participants will get to learn from your work and hands-on experience with reviewing other peoples' code.
    Check https://www.reprohack.org/event/29/ for more event details and how to submit your work

    elduvelle,
    @elduvelle@neuromatch.social avatar

    @danielagawehns a free reproducibility check? Is that just the figure-making code or will someone actually (try to) redo the experiment?

    My 4 best shots from Fredericksburg, TX

    a dramatic, cloudy sky with a sliver of partially eclipsed sun visible between two dark clumps of cloud
    a partial solar eclipse, just before totality seen in a cloudy sky with multiple layers of clouds
    a total solar eclipse. The view is somewhat blurred, as it is viewed through clouds. Three pink prominences can be seen between the right edge and the bottom of the disc of the sun

    the only valid reasons I can think of to discard old neuroscience papers are:

    • the experimental techniques used cause artefacts that undermine the scientific conclusions
    • field knowledge has moved on to the point that assumptions made in study are no longer valid

    otherwise, fair game.

    imo many or maybe most older studies don't fall victim to either of these two problems, so can contain valuable data, conclusions, or ideas.

    elduvelle,
    @elduvelle@neuromatch.social avatar

    @cian yeah, age on its own is not a reason to see a paper any differently from any other paper…
