📣Interested in doing a postdoc at Yale?📣 We’re looking for someone with a strong molecular biology/biochemistry background who’s eager to learn multiphoton imaging + behavior. No systems neuro experience needed! Our lab will be at SfN (poster PP3, Monday PM) - happy to chat!
Today’s the last day we’ll be on the exhibit floor. Come by to talk to us about our faculty positions, postdoc fellowships, training programs and kickass community. And if you are interested in our mission, you could get a shirt, hat, survival kit, or even a Yeti! #sfn25 #swag
Visit WTI at booth #3427 to meet researchers from the biological, psychological + computational sciences, plus learn about our open faculty positions, fellowship programs + state-of-the-art research facilities. Scan your badge for some excellent Yale swag! #KnowTogether #ScienceAtYale #SfN25
Yesterday, I was surprised by this beautiful summary of my professional trajectory. I'm not sure who wrote it, but it deeply affected me, not just because it's wonderful to be recognized, but even more so because they perfectly captured what has motivated my career. www.facebook.com/share/p/1MEW...

The new generation of Puerto Rican scientists had a spontaneous meeting at the @wutsaiyale.bsky.social booth to talk about STEM outreach and public engagement #sfn25 #CienciaPR #NeuroGrad #NeuroID #UPRRioPiedras
In his #sfn25 session @dacolon.bsky.social draws lessons from his winding path in science: 1) follow your curiosity, 2) there is not 1 blueprint for being a scientist: learn from the diversity of experiences of others, and (3) to find your path, pay attention to what sparks your interest
This should be a great exploration of science, serendipity, and purposeful sharing of the excitement of discovery. @dacolon.bsky.social is a masterful science communicator so come also if you want a workshop on how to do science analogies. #sfn25

Excited to be at #SfN25! Come catch my poster “Neural dimensionality expands over the course of brain-computer interface learning” wed PM (W15) if you’re interested in non-invasive BCIs, neural manifolds, human learning, etc. Building upon our recent work (doi.org/10.1101/2025.03.29.646109)
Accelerated learning of a noninvasive human brain-computer interface via manifold geometry
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) promise to restore and enhance a wide range of human capabilities. However, a barrier to the adoption of BCIs is how long it can take users to learn to control them. W...

I’m not religious. But once upon a time, in my youth, I fell in love with the idea of a Jesus who was a rebel, who defended love and kindness and human rights and justice. Here’s hoping that this rebelliousness awakens in more people. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/o...
