Like, good sir, while I appreciate your willingness to look past my gray hair, crows feet, and general air of exhaustion, I’m genuinely curious: How many 19 year olds are buying 15lbs of beef in this economy??

Guess who finally gave up and reset her password after a year? It’s me! So what have I been up to? Well. Tonight I got carded at Costco buying whiskey and brisket. 1/2

She’s here!! It was hard to even be mad about having to park half way across campus because delivery is taking up 200 parking spots.

Cheers to Alisha on a hugely successful first CNS. And thanks to the community for such a warm and enthusiastic welcome for this substance use work. #cns2025

Ever the impractical optimist, an auspicious moment to learn about writing winning grant proposals for sure 😂

Happy first birthday to our favorite little turd who characteristically started the celebration by decimating a bit of the baseboards!

Coordinating our center journal club this semester. Anyone have any general-interest (best practices, professional development, etc.) favorite paper suggestions? The group is primarily people who do human neuroimaring with psychology, neuroscience, political science, & anthropology backgrounds. Thx!

Happy New Year! The asshole rooster is causing trouble so we’re starting the year off trying to get chicken bibs onto our rarely handled chickens. Unsurprisingly, it’s going very poorly. An hour and a half in, exactly 3 hens are dressed.

This is lovely, my too please.

I think nothing? MPRAGE seems to be the main concern. I should be clear, this is an irb thing, not a center thing. The center knows this is not preferable to really anyone.

Hillary Schwarb @hschwarb.bsky.social · 15/02/2024

We talked about maybe exporting the info into json or something. I think that could be managed, but not optimal for sure.

Hillary Schwarb @hschwarb.bsky.social · 15/02/2024

Yes. This is the other part of the conversation. Right now, labs archive their own data, if it becomes centralized there are access/infrastructure/$ questions. I’m also not sure the folks driving this proposal know about dicom headers, but they are definitely worried about facial reconstruction.

Hillary Schwarb @hschwarb.bsky.social · 15/02/2024

💯 thank you. There are so many reasons why this could be an issue, specially with special populations with atypical anatomy. We’re making the theoretical case, but also want to be able to say AND these xx institutions all give raw dicoms to researchers. Thanks for the response!

Hillary Schwarb @hschwarb.bsky.social · 15/02/2024

To me, this seems generally problematic, but also really just not done widely or at all. I’ve talked to lots of you, but hoping to get a wider sample to find out what centers are doing more broadly. Thanks!

Hillary Schwarb @hschwarb.bsky.social · 15/02/2024

Question for the neuroimagers out there: Does your center provided you with the raw dicoms after a scan? A policy change is being considering over here where research groups would only be given defaced niftis, not raw dicoms. 1/2

T (my 5yo) is getting ready for Halloween. He just grabbed paper and markers to make a sign. Me: are you going to write “Happy Halloween?” T: Nope, I’m going to write “$1.” Y’all. He’s trying to sell candy to trick-or-treaters…

Hi all, know any recent grads or soon to be grads interested in memory and the brain and looking for a full-time lab manager position? I’m recruiting! Here’s the info: employment.unl.edu/postings/88539

And while I’m advertising things: I am recruiting 1-2 grad students this cycle! Please spread the word to your enthusiastic students excited about memory and it’s disorders. In the lab we study the human memory system applied to aging, TBI, sex hormones, and (newly) methamphetamine use disorder.

Having spent a good number of years as a research scientist before diving into the TT world, I can vouch that it’s a pretty sweet gig…if you have research independence, which you would here. Tell your friends! The Center for Brain, Biology & Behavior at UNL is hiring an assoc director/research prof

I haven’t heard of anyone anywhere finding novavax yet. Publix and Rite Aid are announcing they will have it but “don’t have shipment timing” info yet…not that that helps in Nebraska. I’ll for sure let you know if I hear anything helpful.

Slow to the party, but it’s been a minute since I’ve leaned stuff over there, so I’m ready to commit. Sign me up for all things brains, learning, memory, aging, tbi, sex hormones, substance misuse, etc. I’m also always happy to hear about the ridiculous things your children and pets do. 👋
