One of the best music critic lines I've ever read:
"The world didn’t know how to make music until Stevie Wonder started making it, and the greatest album of all time is his magnum opus double-album, Songs in the Key of Life. "
Wait!!! Are you writing poetry now?!?! Baller late career move
Science IS good. We should fund it.
Baller late career move.
You took that? How on earth? Do you work for National Geographic now?

Congratulations to the awardees Dr. Mahsa Dadar, and @mallarchak.bsky.social, our very valued #TRIDENT lead researcher! 👏🎉
Panel discussion in a lecture hall at Western University featuring four speakers seated at the front, with two Western BrainsCAN and Research Community Impact banners behind them. One panelist speaks into a microphone while others listen, and a large screen above shows virtual participants joining via video call, highlighting a hybrid in-person and online event.
Great talks at the @westernubrainscan.bsky.social event highlighting the @mcgilluniversity.bsky.social - @westernu.ca Initiative for Translational Neuroscience (ITN) program & researchers such as @maximoprado.bsky.social, Tom Durcan, and @mallarchak.bsky.social, also key contributors with #TRIDENT!
This is a totally great editorial that I encourage everybody to read!
Stoked to be named "Researcher of the Year" at Western's medical school. A real honour that reflects the hard work of my trainees and collaborators. www.schulich.uwo.ca/about/news-e...

New preprint 📣
Do you use the @alleninstitute.org mouse brain connectome?
In work led by Vikram Nathan we found issues with existing connectome representations, fixed them, showed the impact on connectome measures.
Do you wonder what they are?

I'm sitting in a café in Italy (life is hard) and am reminded that there was a time in my life where I really love Lionel Richie.
(I may not have been wrong)
🚨Do we need a large, expensive MRI scanner to map whole-brain networks in the mouse? Not necessarily!
In our new preprint ▶️ tinyurl.com/3a2h4r9f
we show that transcranial functional ultrasound (fUSI) can map connectome-scale networks with striking agreement to fMRI
