I love the idea of citizen neuroscience because I think it's a great way to involve the public in science and in some areas of neuroscience, it's important to go beyond the WEIRD brain.

Going through my notes on There Are No Accidents by Jessie Singer (@JessieSinger), and I figured I'd share them here as I process them.

"Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on."

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning

Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

reminder that I have 20+ years of data experience and I'm looking for some kind of Data Scientist/Analyst/Analytics Engineering gig, remote in the US (I'm in Portland, OR)
