What if you could experience the dangers of a hurricane in a safe way, before it ever happens?
@universityofga is using Virtual Reality to do just that! We talk to the "Weather the Storm" program lead this week on Geeks 👉 linktr.ee/WeatherGeeks

I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n

We think that all memory is stored in the brain. But our study published today in @NatureComms shows that all cells—even kidney cells—can count, detect patterns, store memories, and do so similarly to brain cells. My first (co)corresponding author paper!🧵nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

😡 How does anger influence the recall of misinformation on social media? 😡 @JiyoungLee2g0, @calliekalny, Stefanie Demetriades, and Nathan Walter used two studies to explore this question in their new article. Check out their findings here: tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1…

Revolutionizing children's health: The Virtual Fitness Buddy (VFB), led by @sunjooahn at UGA, uses mixed reality & a virtual dog to boost kids' activity. Backed by a $3.3M NIH grant, VFB turns sedentary habits into active ones, fighting childhood obesity.

If you’re choosing a research group to join, pay just as much - if not more - attention to the culture and mentoring style in the group than the research.
You can succeed in lots of research areas or projects, but it’s tough to succeed in an unsupportive environment.

The BIRD team is growing!
If you are a research scientist who loves building software and prototypes, moves fast and strives for high standards, prepare your portfolio+cv, and apply.
