The expanding value of long-term studies of individuals in the wild - Nature Ecology & Evolution

Over the past seventy-five years, long-term population studies of individual organisms in their natural environments have been influential in illuminating how ecological and evolutionary processes operate, and the extent of variation and temporal change in these processes. As these studies have matured, the incorporation of new technologies has generated an ever-broadening perspective, from molecular and genomic to landscape-level analyses facilitated by remote-sensing.

Hi, I have just moved my instance & will thus send a new #introduction! I am a Biologist specialising in (statistical) #genetics & working in the #ComputationalBiology research department of Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma. I focus on psychiatric disorders, e.g., #depression, but in the past have also worked on #MultipleSclerosis. Next to science, I am interested in (Italian) #opera, classical music, theatre, cathedrals, history, and much more. I hope relocating to genomic.social was a good move! :)

I like it here but I also intend to stick around on the other platform and watch it go to shit.

User since 2008, I knew folks from the original hosting company (Joyent), @stephenfry and Obama followed me. I want to see what happens to it in person.

If you can't attend, you can see my work online https://latent.differentialist.info
Embedding the Psyche

Explorations of “Depictions of Mental Illness” using text-to-image generators.

Embedding the Psyche
I'll be speaking about some of the work I've been doing on the representation of mental health in AI art generators. Nov 14th 4pm, Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities, Edinburgh https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/show-and-tell-with-fusion-art-meets-science-tickets-462536427907
Show and Tell with Fusion: Art meets Science

An evening with three presenters (researchers and an artist), refreshments and networking to inspire new work for upcoming exhibitions.

Some servers do seem to be set up for browsing the local timeline, like https://fediscience.org/public/

Starting to get the hang of this, so #introduction time:

I'm a Research Fellow in #PsychiatricGenetics at #EdinburghUniversity, working on #GWAS of #depression. I'm a lead analyst for the MDD Working Group of the #PsychiatricGenomicsConsortium

I'm an old hand at shortform social networks (Twitter/Pownce circa 2008), but I'm also used to abandoning/shifting services when required.

My other main interest is #photography (film and digital). I'm also into generative art and I love #cats.

If instances are federated, should I federate my interests? Have separate accounts for academic work, photography, AI art on different servers; or just use CW markers liberally for topics outside my main focus of science?
Is it possible to browse the local feed of another server? #mastodon #question
