At the turn of the year, our #neuroscience gear made it to Penang, Malaysia! 🧳 Primary and secondary schoolers got hands-on experience at American Tech Corner on Wheels (ATCoW), a STEM-centered event funded by American Tech Corner and organised by @pscpenang. #neurotwitter

debugging in Python: - `print()`s alone: too simple - `import pdb; pdb.set_trace()`: too complex - `import code; code.interact(local=locals())`: just right simply drops you into interpreter, perfect for 95% of debugging

What if our cars could read our emotions and adjust to our needs? Neuroscientist Greg Gage (@gagegreg) collaborated with the TED Ideas Studio to explore this idea here: bit.ly/39Tp5uz

We were able to listen to @gagegreg today, get our hands on the SpikerBox, and even tried the human-to-human interfase. @HaysSTEAMshines Thank you @ECISDinnovation @ECISDScience for this opportunity!

Do you want to learn how to build 2p scope and ephys rig from a pile of thorlabs & digikey parts in a pastural wonderland while entertained with slide-guitar and improv comedy and engaged in buoyant scientific discussion until dawn? Then, you should apply: tenss.ro/index.php

Our scholars have been learning about neuroscience for career week! They transformed into electrophiologist and explored the firings of neurons in cockroach legs! They had a blast! Thank you @PICKeducation and @BackyardBrains ☺️ @HaysSTEAMshines
