My established scientists, two incredibly "new PI" questions: 1. How do you figure out how many people to hire/can hire? What's the math based on $ in account and when those $ expire? 2. How do you figure out your ratio of techs, grad students, and post-docs? Is it project or budget based?

I am very proud to announce that my PhD paper finally came out in Cell! In this *very* collaborative study, we develop and release a deep-learning approach to predict neuron type identity from their electrical signature.

We are very excited to see our collaborative paper on classification of neuron types in the cerebellum (across species!) now published in Cell.

This was a huge project, spanning multiple labs - across continents - and a huge team effort!

A deep learning strategy to identify cell types across species from high-density extracellular recordings
We constructed a deep learning classifier that solves the problem of neuron-type identification from simultaneous extracellular recordings of many neurons. The classifier was trained on a ground-truth...

Excited to share a new preprint (
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
) where we describe methods for identifying cerebellar neuron types from extracellular recordings in NHPs. With knowledge of the circuit and some new insights, we can establish neuron type for a large fraction of recorded neurons. (1/4)

New preprint! A collaborative effort of multiple labs showing the ability to link extracellular recordings to underlying neuron identities (using the cerebellum as an example). Really excited to see how others can use these methods to gain a deeper understanding of how circuits link to behavior!

I left Twitter (X?) a long time ago - even before Musk - as I thought the conversations were getting a bit toxic. BUT - Twitter was incredibly useful for faculty job openings/notifications! Hoping bluesky fills this void, and is a bit more pleasant than the Twitter craziness. ๐ค
