Louise Moillon (c. 1610–1696) French painter in the Baroque era. One of the best still life painters of her time, she was trained by her father as she was unable to attend academies as a woman- who were thought to lack the ability required for artists #WomensArt

The ggseg ecosystem finally has a proper home! 🧠 For those who don't know, ggseg is an R package ecosystem for visualizing brain atlas data. Think ggplot2, but for brains. #rstats #neuroimaging #openscience

So, gonadal type (testes vs. ovaries) and sex chromosome complement (XY vs. XX) represent two strong candidate drivers of phenotypic sex differences in mammals. But how well can these factors explain sex differences in the brain and how much does each contribute to a given difference? …

How do gonads and sex chromosomes contribute to regional sex differences in the brain? 🤔 Our new preprint summarizes >5 years of work on this question, combining structural neuroimaging and snRNAseq within a sample of >850 mice. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Thread below …

what's a great album that has predominantly ORANGE cover artwork?

Recorded in 1973 (up the road in Silver Spring, MD) with this plea in the liner notes … “In the interest of national security, please help us carry out our constitutional duty to overthrow the king”. Beautiful, powerful, rousing music.

Advances in genomics are giving exciting new perspectives on biology of speech, language & reading. My latest peer-reviewed paper is a tutorial, guiding readers from different backgrounds through the history of the field, current state-of-the-art, & where we’re heading. A taster in this thread.🧪 1/n

I wonder if it’ll generalize outside the training dataset

And hats off to @thetransmitter.bsky.social for this fab program. Super important to celebrate and promote these awesome future leaders. Inspiring people, doing crucial work (and currently under some especially challenging circumstances)

So delighted to see @valeriejsydnor.bsky.social and her other glittering peers on this list! Huge congrats to you Val. SO(^zillion) well deserved!!! 🎉🤩💪🏽 www.thetransmitter.org/early-career...

Had forgotten the epic cavernous slam of this. Brilliant.

This was student initiated and led and I am so proud of what they have done

What a glorious album to loose yourself in. 🌊
