It’s conference season, so here’s a thread with some conference-related tips I’ve shared at some point...

1. Poster design is crucial—be guided by the rule of threes
2. Getting involved with social media can give you a head start before the conference even begins when it comes to sharing your work. Here’s a blog post on social media’s benefits and how to get started medium.com/@dsquintana/us…
3. If you’re lucky enough to be invited to give an oral presentation, here’s a video on improving your PowerPoint presentations Here are the slides from the video osf.io/y8xfa/
4. Here’s how to create images for your presentations that don’t suck medium.com/@dsquintana/ma…
5. Finally, here’s a chat we had on @hertzpodcast on a bunch of conference topics, like the twitter back-channel and using conferences to kickstart collaborations soundcloud.com/everything-her…

You should use a Twitter thread to announce new papers instead of a blog post.

Here’s why...
In my personal experience, papers that are summarized in threads get more reads than blog post equivalents. I’m talking like 10x more reads, at least. I think there are a few reasons for this...
As there’s less friction with reading a thread (you don’t need to leave Twitter to read it, unlike a blog), people more likely to read the thread about your paper.

It’s #ValentinesDay, which means there’s a lot of talk about oxytocin—the so-called “love hormone” ❤️ But despite the appeal of this label it’s a little misleading.

So let me walk you through this hormone’s history & why the actual role of oxytocin is MUCH more interesting...
Oxytocin-like hormones are ~600 million years old, which is a LONG time before there was any evidence of “love”, or couple bonding. The sea sponge, considered the most ancient animal species, has no oxytocin-like signaling, suggesting it emerged in more modern species
The sea squirt, which is OLD but not as old as sea sponges, uses oxytocin-like signaling, but what’s its purpose if there’s there’s no sea squirt couple bonding?

Well, it turns out oxytocin-like signaling regulates tissue contraction for salt regulation ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18583415

Very happy to announce that our new paper on oxytocin pathway gene networks in the human brain has just been published in @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s4146…

Here’s the story behind this study, how we did it, and what we found...

[THREAD]
Oxytocin-like signaling is an ancient system that goes as far back down the tree as earthworms & sea squirts ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26392129 Oxytocin production occurs similarly across mammals but the *location* of oxytocin receptors in the brain can vary, even in closely related species
Take the prairie and meadow vole: closely related species but different patterns of oxytocin receptor expression in the brain, which is thought to reflect the social organization of these species ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17118932

Here’s a #thread about #judges and #judges’ opinions. I don’t want to name names. I’m hoping Twitterland will get the word out. It’s important, to that small audience at least. It’s about a lack of awareness and humility 1/
So there’s this emerging cadre of judges who write opinions that seem clever and erudite and get some adoring attention. But here’s the thing. At a conference of pretty bright academics of various persuasions and we have two things we seem to all think about those opinions 2/
The first is a little catty; the second is deadly serious. They both matter. (And I’m not naming names of judges or academics but you know who you are.) 3/

Today, I found out that some young people I know (ages 15 and 16) are in 'school' Whatsapp groups with teachers.

I salute the dedication of teachers who go beyond, but I think this a very dangerous breach of privacy / work-play balance, and must be stopped.

Here's why: #Thread
1) You cannot join a Whatsapp group without revealing your phone number. This is an immediate risk for minors - the room for abuse is so large I'm stunned that schools allow this. Pedophilia, sexual predation, grooming - all possible when adults have kids' phone numbers.
2) There is also risk of harassment by other kids. I remember my friends in high school (esp girls) who kept phone numbers very private, because they didn't want to be constantly bombarded.

When a teacher makes you join, there's no opt out. Everyone gets your phone number.
