En De Jonge Akademie verklaart het jaar van 'iedereen professor!' voor geopend!

Iedereen professor! De roep is er al langer. Toch beweegt er weinig. Met de handleiding 'Iedereen professor! wil De Jonge Akademie het gesprek binnen de academische gemeenschap gestructureerd voeren op weg naar de #IedereenProfessor praktijk.

The Fair Battery Project led by @utrechtuniversity's @sanli, funded by the #NWO #OpenScienceFund, aims to make access to renewable energy storage technology democratic. They share every step of their work, from conception, to testing, to execution. #openscience

Hi Mastodon! #introduction 👋
My name is John Butler.
I'm Maths/Stats Lecturer and Neuroscience researcher in the School of Mathematics and Statistics in TU Dublin since 2015.

My research uses computational neuroscience methods to investigate multisensory processing. My favourite sensory system is the vestibular system it is just great.

I am a member of @neuromatch I’ve contributed materials to the summer schools. I also help organise the Conference and I’m particularly proud of the introduction of Neuromatch for Kids which shows how maths and neuroscience work together.

I really enjoy teaching, I've taught mathematics, statistics and computational neuro to all levels from graduate, down to primary. Here are two modules:
• Numerical Analysis with Applications in Python (https://john-s-butler-dit.github.io/NumericalAnalysisBook/ )
• Short Introduction to Maths in Neuroscience with Python (https://github.com/john-s-butler-dit/Basic-Introduction-to-Python)
There are more on my my GitHub.

Lastly, I do a bit of#scicomm, so I give talks at events like; Maths week and Science Week, Pint of Science, Bright Club, I’m a Mathematician Get Me Out of Here, and I regularly give talks in primary and secondary schools about his work.

Interesting and laudable move by Nature:

"From today, primary research from authors from over 70 countries classified by the World Bank as low-income (LIC) or lower-middle-income economies (LMICs) accepted for publication in either Nature or one of the Nature research journals (..) can now be published Gold #OpenAccess at no cost"

"A key part of this initiative is that authors will not need to ask to benefit from the support."

Nice to see that the recording of the @RoRInstitute #REF #metrics webinar is now available at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7TfNREqDJE

I recommend the whole (3 hour!) thing, but especially the presentation by @StephenCurry and @lizziegadd on the Harnessing the Metric Tide Report (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.21701624.v2), from roughly 1:30:00 - 1:58:00.
