It's like every 4-hour work week that's made possible by some assistant's 90-hour work week.

You: please act normal, you need these people to like you Me: ok! People: hi Me: ✨electrophysiology✨

Me: Let's use a common toolbox for these analyses, I do not want to reinvent the wheel... again. My data: So yeah, you're going to have to a lower level function for me 💅

This is a data-harvesting scheme, right?

I have been writing this grant for too long... Do we call something a poor prognostic indicator when it predicts poor prognoses, or is a poor prognostic indicator an indicator that is bad at indicating prognoses?

We're hiring a PhD student! If you know anyone who wants to come study links between sleep-wake rhythms and brain damage in sepsis models with us in Pilsen, let me know! (and let them know too... ad coming soon)

Oooo snow

We just passed 550 headbutts! Yay for our data collection, boo for the goats' brain... 🧪 www.youtube.com/live/SGfaomS...

I'm attempting to put together a 12 Livestream of my lab doing data collection next week. I thought it would be a fun opportunity for some SciComm. We'll be chatting about goats and woodpeckers for 12h if I can get the tech to work. Watch this space 👀

Soooo it seems I need 50 followers on YouTube before I can Livestream. Can some of y'all follow so I can get this off the ground? I only need 34 more! www.youtube.com/@NicoleAcker...

We're hiring! Open position for a PhD student studying the role of sleep in mediating sepsis-related brain damage. Come work with me to figure out why severe inflammatory disease can lead to long-term cognitive problems, and if we can do something about that. www.fens.org/careers/job-...

@nicoleackermans.com pumpkin boink, clearly a win for all

Does anyone have slides or resources on trans biology they'd be willing to share? I'm covering sex and gender in neuro and want to make sure to cover transness too. 🧪

Ping @nicoleackermans.com But if they could, would they boink? #ImportantScuence

Come check out our posters! Or just come say hi (just maybe don't tell me that you don't want to see my poster).

Only 3 more sleeps!

Hey, I'm preparing my slides for a short lecture on preprocessing (filtering, spike sorting...) for our single unit workshop on Wednesday. Any favorite methods I should definitely talk about?

I swear whenever a paper measures something "in a vertebrate" it's always zebrafish and when it is in "the" brain it is in a mouse.

Me to all the clinical colleagues: have you heard the gospel of fooof?

Only two more weeks! Join us in Pilsen and say hi! We'll be at the talks and posters on 15 and 16 September, and will tell you everything you always wanted to know about spikes on the 17th 🧠🐀💭 www.neuroscience.cz/CNS2025/

What's going on with dental acrylic these days? First we can no longer buy Meliodent liquid in Czech Republic, and now it is impossible to find Paladur liquid... I wonder if PalaXpress liquid works with regular powder, or if we need to switch to a different resin again.

Whaaattt???? How can this even be? www.drugdiscoverytrends.com/nih-announce...

The data journalists were so busy wondering if they could do something they never stopped to think if they should. www.theguardian.com/news/datablo...

@alleninstitute.org will there be a call for OpenScope proposals this year?

One of my undergrad's projects was featured by the university! Bre modeled & painted 3D printed woodpeckers and is measuring their effect on bird behavior. icue.as.ua.edu/news-announc...

When you want to start a project for the SEED4EU+ funding call, but you don't know anyone at the partner universities... @4euplusalliance.bsky.social

🎉Athira Nataraj has successfully defended her PhD thesis on Spatial Coding Deficits in Alzheimer's Disease! 🎉 Big congratulations, Dr. Nataraj! 🥳

The 2025 Czech Neuroscience conference takes place on 15-16 September, at our Medical Faculty in Pilsen. Join us there! www.neuroscience.cz/2025-registr... Early registration deadline: 30 June. Abstract deadline: 15 August.

New paper alert! 🚨 now with beautiful final formatting 😍, and free to access for the next 50 days 🥳

New paper alert 🚨 Check out our latest in @brainbehavimm.bsky.social: LPS-induced systemic inflammation disrupts brain activity in a region- and vigilance-state specific manner. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @charlesuni.cuni.cz

Today's the student's scientific conference at the Medical Faculty in Pilsen at @charlesuni.cuni.cz ! Very excited to learn about all the science done by all of our master's and doctoral students this year 🤓

Hey sci-comm friends, would you be willing to share how much you make a month and what kind of scicomm you do? Trying to see a thing 🧪

Is there a good alternative to Pubmed that is not located in the US? Asking for the obvious reasons...

@nicoleackermans.bsky.social New goat headgear spotted bsky.app/profile/blue...

New paper! 🚨 Impaired Dynamics of Positional and Contextual Neural Coding in an Alzheimer's Disease Rat Model, led by Athira Nataraj and Karel Blahna @unikarlova.bsky.social #neuroskyence journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3233/...

Conference prep. Very excited about this year's Czech Neuroscience Meeting 😊

Hey fellow online old people, can you please point me to this thing because my colleagues think I'm making it up: When graphical abstracts were new, there was a prof who added all these bikini pictures (I recall one with pineapple-boobs). Do you recall who/where (with links)? #neuroskyence

New year, new preprint 🥳 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We're also still pretty excited about our most recent paper about brain state instability during sepsis: Sepsis-Induced Changes in Spectral Segregation and Kinetics of Hippocampal Oscillatory States in Rats by Annu Kala, Susan Leemburg and Karel Jezek www.eneuro.org/content/10/6...

Check out our latest on spatial coding: Context-independent expression of spatial code in hippocampus - S. Kapl, F. Tichanek, F. Zitricky, K. Jezek www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hello everyone! We are the Experimental Neurophysiology Lab and have joined these bright blue skies. Follow us for updates on our work on place cells, oscillations, memories, and other exciting news from Pilsen.

Do not hug the big water jet. It is not even friend-shaped. It will also not fit in your mouth. Mann möchte Jet d’Eau umarmen und landet im Spital www.20min.ch/story/genf-m...

Yikes. Agree with @nicoleackermans.bsky.social here: Hubey definitely needs more mouth tape. Daytime use would do a world of good. www.instagram.com/reel/CwRDXm_...

@nicoleackermans.bsky.social this looks somewhat relevant to your interests

I think I'm slowly reaching the point where the spikeinterface people go: "O no, not her again with another stupid question... Just be a neuropixel person who is happy with kilosort like all the normal people... 🙄"

I really need to catch up on reading about the better Oppenheimer
