I can't use twitter/X anymore, it's become an awful and useless place.
On this site here, I don't feel like I'm reaching the same colleagues I used to reach on twitter.
Someone just told me the action is on LinkedIn now. Really, LinkedIn!? Can I get some opinions on this? Are some of you there?
American colleagues: who of you uses LinkedIn for posting papers and preprints, to chat about research findings and stir the occasional controversy? In Europe LinkedIn seems to gain popularity amongst researchers, I just find it really sterile and all the posts too polished. Opinions?
🚨New paper alert🚨
We built a fully standardized, integrated hardware and software solution for real-time welfare monitoring in mice. We used it to look at pain management after brain surgery.
Not much has changed from the preprint (see below).
Brief: hold back on opioids!

The "stress meetings" (alternating between North America and Europe) are my favorites in the conference cycle.

Day 6 of sharing gems from my personal cartoon collection. Share yours and make my day.
I like this one since I did my undergrad in psychology. And I'm Austrian, Sigmund Freud and all that stuff.
Excited to share our new preprint! We explore the link between the locus coeruleus (LC) and arousal for astrocytes, pyramidal cells, interneurons in the hippocampus. A fantastic collaboration with @sianduss.bsky.social @bohaceklab.bsky.social, and many others: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/5

From my collection of powerful (and timely) German words.
Literally: World pain.
It refers to the suffering and pain one feels because of the state of the world and its inadequacy in relation to one's own desires and expectations.
