I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

very very cool words from none other than Santiago Ramón y Cajal in his work, “Advice for a Young Investigator” - to me, applicable to almost everything in life. respect is important, but self-respect even more so 😊

I had a great time taking part in the open day last Saturday! Working in the MaxLab was a great experience (&humbling, the kids were so smart 🧠). I hope they learned 1/3 much about the science of the senses as I did German! 🧪 Thank for joining us, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did 😊

Working alongside such kind and talented colleagues, who are more than happy to share their knowledge and help, has made me feel even more motivated to stay in this field. As a first-gen “academic” it is really hard to feel like you belong in academia, but this lab has done that for me 😊
new Introduction to Behavioral Neuroscience book! This initiative led by @thekirbylab.bsky.social,with contributions from amazing scientists (and me 😯) is intended for UG with no presumed college-level science coursework, and presents the foundational pples of brain behavior-environm interactions.
