Neuroscientist by training, tinkerer by nature. Now scanning transparent mouse brains with light-sheet microscopes. Microscopy, clearing, data crunching, tinkering.

Working as postdoc at @radboudumc with Nael Nadif Kasri and Corette Wierenga, looking at neuron-distribution differences in mouse models of ASD.

Married, father of two. Toots in English, German, Dutch. Boosts a lot.

Ran the numbers for my first 13 months of jobseeking. Every time I apply for a job, there is a 6% chance that I get an interview. The chance that I get a job is 0%.

But the data has some clear patterning. If the job is at a museum, I get an interview in 29% of the cases, but here too a job in 0% of cases.

Though papers are boring, so we have something fun for you - a map. If you head to https://urbantaxonomy.org, there's a beautiful interactive map of the resulting taxonomy waiting for you. Just a piece of warning - it can suck a lot of time!

One aspect I am really proud of is hidden in the Data availability statement - “The SA3 functionality has been contributed to the open source package spopt, morphometric assessment to momepy, and features required to support those to libpysal, shapely and geopandas.”

We have not only published our research code openly but made sure the relevant pieces have been contributed upstream. So big thanks not only to co-authors but to a wider community!

We have a cover! Excited to be part of this. The publisher site for the book is https://www.routledge.com/Bayesian-Workflow/Gelman-Vehtari-McElreath-Simpson-Margossian-Yao-Kennedy-Gabry-Burkner-Modrak-Barajas/p/book/9780367490140

Note that a PDF will be freely downloadable once the book is out!

At the same time, the “data-driven" nature of quantitative methods tends to be disjoint from morphological theory.

We took concepts known from 80s and re-conceptualised them for urban morphometrics. This leads to identification of "morphotopes" (as biotopes), the smallest morphologically homogeneous regions.

And because there's a lot of them, we have organised them into a taxonomy.

Diving into Mastodon a bit like the chaffinch diving off this branch. Hi everyone, I'm John a hobbyist wildlife photographer based in Scotland. I currently upload all of my images to Flickr but I'm wanting somewhere else to share some of them too. Still not quite sure how Mastodon works but hope to view yours and share more of my wildlife and nature photographs.

Something I learned late in my academic life and since trying to implement in most of my teaching: When you do science, you actively have to revisit all your documentation regularly and think of ways to paint a bigger picture of your findings.
When you just document, your viewpoint is sort of chronological or even biographical.
Explaining a new finding in the order you found the puzzle pieces leading to that discovery, usually is not the best way to explain or write about it.

Finally Intel #GPU support on Linux too. Watch all the metrics go brrr in multi-GPU #FluidX3D #CFD workload! Will #opensource soon™️

Hardening against the myriads of broken counters in all those bugged APIs was a long shot. 🖖🫠
