In 2020, Swedish neuroscientists put 30 trans and 30 cis research subjects into a brain scanner and showed them pictures of their bodies. Then they showed them images where their body had been morphed to look more masculine or more feminine. The results support the natural order of gender identity.
WOOOOO 🤯 Anyone ever experience a cold head failure on an MRI? A research MRI in our lab had an emergency this morning. Been trying to rescue it, but we're thinking the cold head is dying. #medical#research
New paper from our group led by @lawojcik! We found that not only trait adaptation among but also within functional groups shape ecosystem functioning in simple food webs. Models may gain to consider multiple diversity facets and their corresponding sources of trait adaptation. Read more at https://doi.org/10.1111/oik.10544.
In the US “the aggression against science and scientists is coming from one political party, and the extreme element of one political party” but the article talks about harassment in other countries as well.
I don’t think I realized how healthy bicycling is. Huzzah!
> A substantial body of evidence supports the health benefits of cycling, everything from strengthening the immune system to boosting the likelihood of living longer. Now, a new study finds people who are in the habit of riding a bike are significantly less likely to have osteoarthritis and experience pain in their knees by age 65, compared to people who don't bike.
⭐Statistical #research has the potential to support various other disciplines.
🔢With their expertise in time series & directional #statistics Prof. Masanobu Taniguichi - from the Waseda University in Japan, visiting researcher at the University of #Luxembourg - and Sophia Loizidou use complex statistical concepts to support research in other fields.

Remembering today that if I find something very useful online that I need to use again, to save it locally (even if it's bookmarked). Especially in the age of AI slop. #Research
New blog post! I wrote about making art as emotion regulation. I connect it to expressive suppression and cognitive reappraisal, from James Gross's work.
I learned some days ago how #moisture gets trapped inside #sealed enclosures used for #electronics when exposed to daily cycles of heat and cold.
The cold creates lower pressure inside. If that overpowers the seals, then outside air gets sucked in, carrying moisture. This extra moisture can condense inside and accumulate at the bottom.
In the next warm part of the cycle, if some air is expelled because of the higher pressure, that moisture is not carried out because it is in a liquid state.🧵
Repeat this a lot of times, and you will get the electronic circuit diving inside the enclosure 😂
I want to measure how the humidity and pressure fluctuate inside an enclosure that I'm prototyping for an industrial composting temperature sensor, so I assembled a quick hack with an Adafruit ESP32 Feather V2 running SensorWatcher that will report that every 10 minutes. The sensors are an HTU31D for humidity and a BMP388 for pressure.🧵
