    People keep asking me why a PhD from MIT has started a career in social media. The answer is simple. Social media is 4 main things: 1. Psychology 2. Reinforcement Learning 3. Analytics & Metrics 4. Optimization & Iteration Social media is actually PERFECT for neuroscientists 👩🏻‍🔬

    The saddest part about the Elizabeth Holmes legacy is that it's tainted a lot of folks in bio-tech trying to do cool stuff, even those obsessed with evidence. And certainly almost everyone in diagnostics.

    Powerful day with Julie and Steve D’Achille, president of , sharing our stories, talking about why treatment for this disease is so important, and how people can advocate to ensure women have access to appropriate treatment.

    For math nerds (🙋‍♂️), the cochlea performs an instantaneous fast Fourier transform on auditory input from 15 Hz - 20 kHz (12 kHz for me, ARHL/NIHL FTW).

    I love that a woodpecker's tongue wraps around it's brain to prevent concussions. It's a crowd pleaser and speaks to neurology and evolution 🥰

    At auditory threshold, the total movement of the tympanic membrane is less than the width of a hydrogen atom.

    And only about 20 *thousandths* of a gram of LSD is enough to cause serious mental disturbances. And if you cover one of someone's eyes for the first few years of their life, their vision in that eye will never come back. And you can live with half a brain!

    And most of our dopamine neurons have to die before we show signs of Parkinson's. Also, we have no idea what causes hemispheric dominance. And our brainis floating in a pool of sugar water. And there's no correlation between brain size and intelligence across species.

    Some animals sleep using unihemispheric where one half of the brain sleeps while the other half stays awake! We usually see this in marine mammals and birds. Fur seals, for example, use unihemispheric sleep while in the water and then return to bilateral sleep while on land! 🧠💤

    Parts of the cytoskeleton, like actin (orange) help neurons move & find synaptic partners. Actin forms microfilaments- a strong, flexible cellular framework. By elongating & contracting, microfilaments enable cell mobility. [hippocampal cells, microtubules (blue, ]

    I am amazed that neurons are born, they differentiate and wire up and then live as long as we do (in best case scenario). Respect you’re neurons as they are the great great grand mothers of your collective self.

    Cochlear implants like all prosthetics work because brains are plastic. They learn to interpret an impoverished signal. Indeed all normal brains must makes “sense” of impoverished signals all the time.
