Hey Bluesky folks! I'm Glynn, (aka DuoMind) self-studying compneuro with a background in sociology, and a past life as an artist. Interested in brain modeling, bio-inspired AI, and making science more accessible. I'm excited to connect with others in neuroscience, programming, and beyond.
Wow! I finished another Week in the course… I finally more than half way through. One more module and then my attempt at the end-of-the-course project. Can’t believe I really did this, on my own too. 😳 #NMA 🧠💻💪🏾

Oof! I think I’m getting to the point where I need to reach out more for help with my course work 😅. Exciting, and super nervous about it. Maybe I should join @neuromatch.bsky.social ‘s Discord sooner than expected? #selfstudying

Catsitting this week, so no library time for a while. Studying at home as an easily distracted person. 🏡😵💫
Either way: Biological Neuron Models Day is Today 🧠💻💪🏾 #NeuroMatchAcademy #Compneurosci

Woke up early, showered, had breakfast, took my medicines and supplements, brushed my teeth, got finely dressed. Feeling confident as heck on my way finish off this segment on Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) at the library 📚 . #ComputationalNeuroscience 🧠💻💪🏾

Backpack is packed
“I, Robot” for leisure reading during breaks
Laptop and charger
Headphones
Notebooks with Ticonderoga pencils
And a nice walk to the library
Let’s get this knowledge!

Hi folks, been a while since I’ve active. Would anyone happen to have any advice for someone who feels like they’re still learning their foundations all on their own? #CompNeuro #neuroscience #computationalneuroscience Feels like I’ve spent a long time at the bottom and not sure I have much to show

In just a couple more weeks, I’ll be wrapping up my Python course, and from there, I’ll could finally start crafting my own programs to build out my portfolio.

when i decided to go for computational neuroscience, i wasn’t into Comp Sci. but i was craving something hard at a time when i'd catch myself daydreaming about math, longing for studying & methods that was rigorous. i still have doubts if i'll make it, but for once, the path feels right. #selfstudy

I get to work with Pandas for tomorrow's lesson! I've been excited all week.

finished today's lesson in my python course about file i/o.
my script just reads a list of names and then generates personalizes letters for each.
almost gave up, then everything just clicked.
the best part was trimming 27 lines of clunkiness down to 8.
felt euphoric to figure it out. #PythonEverday

How does the brain work?
Scientists are closer to the answer with the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date. 🧵

New great piece from @emilymbender.bsky.social explaining the problem with "AI" framing.
"If what you are doing is sensible and grounded science, there is...a more precise way to describe it that bolsters rather than undermines the interest and value of your research."

Whew! Finished coding a program challenge, only to realized I did it just by sight. I had assumed what the project would be and just went straight to work in one go, not realizing the project was supposed to be broken up into smaller chucks. And I still nailed it! #ThisIsMyNerdEra 😎👨🏾🔬 #PythonEveryday

I just want to say how incredibly welcomed I feel here. So many brilliant and generous people in STEM have not only followed back, but also guided me toward new opportunities and connections. That means so much to me. Thank you all!

By the way, I just realized I've been addressing folks by their first name without thinking! Let me know if you'd prefer Dr. [Last Name]/Prof. [Last Name] instead. I don't want to be too informal!
