On January 11, @MGHmartinos staged its first-ever talent show, aptly titled: “The Martinos Center’s Got Talent!” The event showcased the talents of folks across the center, Fortunately, many of the performances were recorded, and you can catch them here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…

Excited to share my new paper, with teams at @CMC_CHA and @MGHMartinos! tinyurl.com/2ncx2fpk We found that after an 8-week mindfulness intervention (MTPC), patients with anxiety and/or depression showed increased insula fMRI response to interoceptive attention. 1/2

Among patients with moderate/severe depression (triangles), but not those with no or mild depression (circles), increased insula activation after MTPC was associated with increased Body Trust, a sub-scale of MAIA previously linked with depression (Dunne et al., 2021) 2/2

Do you like #MRI? And do you like holiday music? Mass General talks to the Center's @MichaelDatko about his "funktional MRI" project - making music from samples of MRI sounds - and debuts a new MRI-based holiday recording! bit.ly/3plrzXE @MGH_RI @MassGeneralNews

Excited to have put together live-virtual conference on #psychedelics for 11/6/21. Wanted to include many more talks but grateful to be able to do the first event like this at MGH, & more to come: bit.ly/3igBoSq @MGHMedicine @BrianBarnettMD @neuro_mgh @MAPS @RickDoblin

Today begins a new @visceral_mind collaboration with @Marc_M_Andersen and colleagues from @RecFearLab - we'll be measuring cardiac interoception just before participants enter a real life haunted house! Can't wait to see if ecological fear relates to interoception. 🎃👻🫀

Replying to @russpoldrack
This seems to implicitly assume that the only valuable outcome from a mentoring relationship is a research track career for the mentee. Perhaps a better metric is the c-index: the number of mentees willing to have a coffee with the mentor after 5 years ;)

Two years ago, I asked hundreds of neuroscientists (including many of you!) at various levels about their skills and career trajectories. Now, I can finally share some of those insights in my first senior author preprint, with Saloni Shah! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The Mismatch Between Neuroscience Graduate Training and Professional Skill Sets

Understanding the skill sets required for career paths is a prerequisite for preparing students for those careers. Neuroscience career paths are rapidly changing as the field expands and increasingly...

If you are just starting out or considering a career in neuroscience, learn to code! Honestly, pick any language and just learn to do the basics: loops, indexing, conditionals. You don't need much more than that for 90% of workflows.
