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.

Here are some very interesting suggestions for having a good IT system in your lab (Github, Wiki, website, emails etc.). I’m sure the Mastodon crowd will love these:

@adredish ahahaa yeah I can believe that :)
How can you make sure that your system remains up-to-date as time passes though? Yearly review to clean it up and try to improve the parts that can?

    ‘We need to slow down scientific publishing’

    'We focus on metrics to evaluate a scientist’s career: how many articles they have published, how many times they were cited, what was the impact factor of all these articles. '

    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.

    @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 :)

    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,

    @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
