Subject: [WTI-trainee] APHINE Presents Stuart Firestein, November 19th,
 4:00 PM " Towards a Pluralistic Approach to Neuroscience."
Message-ID: <CABkeEh0vV2WOTkTk-eZiEKBpWTRLKu6Umk=fBBA0OqQgYrN6kA@mail.gmail.com>

We are thrilled to announce an upcoming session of our neurophilosophy
seminar series featuring *Professor Stuart Firestein *from Columbia
University.

?? Talk Title: Towards a Pluralistic Approach to Neuroscience.
? Date: Tuesday, November 19th, 2024
? Time: 4:00 - 5:30 PM
? Location: 100 College Street, Room 1167

*About the Speaker: *Professor Stuart Firestein is the former Chair of
Columbia University?s Department of Biological Sciences. His laboratory
studies the vertebrate olfactory system as a model for investigating
general principles and mechanisms of signal transduction. Alongside his
scientific work, Professor Firestein is equally recognized for his
thought-provoking perspectives on the scientific process, emphasizing the
critical role of ignorance and failure. In his 2012 book, *Ignorance: How
It Drives Science*, he explores the idea that scientific progress thrives
on what we don?t know rather than what we do. In his follow-up 2015
book *Failure:
Why Science Is So Successful, *Professor Firestein underscores failure as
the engine of discovery, reframing it as an integral and positive part of
the scientific journey.

*About the Talk: *There is an old Chinese proverb that says one dog barks
in the night and a hundred other dogs bark at that dog, and someone says,
Wow! I wonder what?s going on!!? Too often scientific research, and in
particular neuroscience research, is like a hundred dogs barking at a new
result.  The classic case of this in neuroscience is what I call the
tyranny of Hubel and Wiesel, although I am using that provocatively to
consider the larger concept of maps in the brain.  This has been a
pervasive idea from phrenology to the connectome and has directed millions
if not billions of research dollars and millions of graduate student and
postdoc hours into efforts to track down these maps.  In this talk, I?ll
have a closer look at maps in the brain and suggest why it may not be the
best way to imagine brain function.  The problem is not that it may be
wrong - it surely is at least partly correct. The problem is that it has
dominated neuroscience research to the exclusion of other useful
perspectives that don?t get funded or published. One solution to this is
that neuroscience needs to adopt a more pluralistic approach. Pluralism
admits of more than one correct answer to any problem even if those answers
are incommensurable.  How this might be practiced in Neuroscience and what
that entails will be the subject of the last part of the talk and hopefully
the discussion.


Looking forward to seeing you there!

Yours Truly,
APHINE Leadership (Clayton, Alec, Natalia)

Please see below for a great postdoc to faculty opportunity.

I talked recently with the program director, who advised the following

  *   This grant is most appropriate for senior postdocs/ARS who are ready to start applying to faculty positions at least in the next faculty round.
  *   The fellowship does not place a big emphasis on a training plan precisely because the expectation is that the faculty portion of the grant will be activated fairly quickly
  *   In fact, the faculty portion can be activated almost immediately after receiving the award, as long as the applicant has not already accepted a formal offer for a tenure-track position
  *   No need to do autism or cognitive aging research but you should have vision for how your faculty research will impact those fields, even from basic or fundamental research standpoints
  *   The application is really an opportunity for you to put forth your own research vision; think big picture.
  *   The program prioritizes individuals from underrepresented backgrounds in science, broadly defined, including women, racial/ethnic groups, LGBTQI+, people with disabilities, and disadvantaged social/economic backgrounds.
  *   US citizenship or permanent resident status is not required
  *   Among the benefits from the fellowship, in addition to the funds and the incentive for hiring,
     *   They help with job offer negotiations and offer advice (coaching)
     *   The faculty position can be at international institutions

Please let me know if you plan on applying so I can alert my colleague at Simons and provide advice on the application.

Best,

Giovanna

Dear Colleagues,

Please share this funding opportunity widely.

Simons Foundation Fellows-to-Faculty Award Program

The Simons Foundation's Autism & Neuroscience division offers the Fellows-to-Faculty Award<https://www.simonsfoundation.org/funding-opportunities/fellows-to-faculty/> program to support talented early-career scientists and their research vision as they transition into tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions.

The request for applications is intended for senior postdoctoral scholars or equivalent researchers whose backgrounds and experiences are underrepresented in science.

For the 2025 RFA, we are seeking scientists whose research vision will advance the mission of either the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI)<https://www.sfari.org/> or the Simons Collaboration on Plasticity and the Aging Brain (SCPAB)<https://www.simonsfoundation.org/collaborations/plasticity-and-the-aging-brain/>. We welcome applications from scientists with a previous background in these areas and those newly applying their expertise to these areas.

Awardees receive funding toward the end of their postdoctoral career and a commitment of a $600,000 USD faculty research grant. Fellows may activate the award funding at institutions within or outside the United States. Applications are due by January 14, 2025.

if not billions of research dollars and millions of graduate student and
postdoc hours into efforts to track down these maps.  In this talk, I?ll
have a closer look at maps in the brain and suggest why it may not be the
best way to imagine brain function.  The problem is not that it may be
wrong - it surely is at least partly correct. The problem is that it has
dominated neuroscience research to the exclusion of other useful
perspectives that don?t get funded or published. One solution to this is
that neuroscience needs to adopt a more pluralistic approach. Pluralism
admits of more than one correct answer to any problem even if those answers
are incommensurable.  How this might be practiced in Neuroscience and what
that entails will be the subject of the last part of the talk and hopefully
the discussion.


Looking forward to seeing you there!

Yours Truly,
APHINE Leadership (Clayton, Alec, Natalia)

Subject: [WTI-trainee] Sign up today for the Joy Drive and Gingerbread House
 Decoration Competition
Message-ID: <DM6PR08MB50031877A6F5A4BF57D0E7CA84202@DM6PR08MB5003.namprd08.prod.outlook.com>

Good Morning Wu Tsai Trainees,

We need your help for the first annual Senate Gingerbread House Decoration Competition!

On December 6th at Gryphon?s Lounge (7-10pm) we will host a ?Joy Drive? to decorate cookies, have warm (spiked) drinks, and anyone can help sponsor a toy to be donated to Toys for Tots.

We are creating? for the first time? a Gingerbread House display in Gryphon?s and calling it ?It Takes a (Gingerbread) Village?.  This is where you can get involved RIGHT NOW!


We are asking for Schools, Departments, Organizations or other groups (which could be you and your friends!) in the Graduate and Professional Schools to get and give some cheer this year by pledging to buy a Gingerbread House Kit with all of the proceeds going to Toys for Tots.


Please fill out this form<https://forms.gle/CUvmk3991SqE2TjB7> if you are interested in purchasing a Gingerbread House for $20 to decorate EITHER as a winter cheer event with your Dept./School/Org. OR to give to our Gryphon's "It Takes a (Gingerbread) Village" display to be decorated at our December 6th event.

Each house given (decorated or undecorated) to our "It Takes a (Gingerbread) Village" will have a display signpost stating the sponsors of the house and a short statement about who they are/what they do.


ALSO, each decorated house in the Gryphon's Village Display will be added to a Special Edition Winter Basket with exclusive and fun prizes (Worth $100!).

If you have questions, please reach out to our Community Engagement Chair, Rosa (rosa.grijalva at yale.edu<mailto:rosa.grijalva at yale.edu>) or our Secretary, Maren (maren.tonini at yale.edu<mailto:maren.tonini at yale.edu>).


Thank you and happy holidays!
GPSS

 November 19th, Tomorrow,
 4:00 PM " Towards a Pluralistic Approach to Neuroscience."
Message-ID: <CABkeEh2kTtVELoRbAm=AKfYHmcKQ3CvbEVwvHadsQbj8HYH8dQ@mail.gmail.com>

We regret to inform you that the talk scheduled for today, "Towards a
Pluralistic Approach to Neuroscience" by Professor Stuart Firestein, has
been cancelled on short notice due to Professor Firestein unexpectedly
losing his voice this morning (we did consider whether we could pull off a
silent talk, but decided against it quickly).

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your
understanding.

We will be rescheduling the event and will share updates as soon as they
become available.

Thank you for your patience.

Best regards,

Yours Truly,

APHINE Leadership (Clayton, Alec, Natalia)

Subject: [Neuroscience] Deadline approaching: Kavli Postdoctoral Award for Academic Diversity

Dear Yale Neuroscience Community,



This is a friendly reminder that the Kavli Institute for Neuroscience is accepting applications for the 2025 Kavli Postdoctoral Award for Academic Diversity (see attached).



The Kavli Postdoctoral Award for Academic Diversity seeks to support exceptional scholars who bring a diversity of perspectives, identities, and backgrounds to academic research, including those from groups that are historically underrepresented in the sciences. This Award will support up to two years of mentored research in the neurosciences at Yale University, including salary, benefits, and a research allowance. Awardees will join a nurturing community that promotes scientific excellence through mentorship, training, and professional development. The award will provide $70,000 for salary support, and standard postdoctoral employee benefits for up to two years. An additional $20,000 allowance can support relevant research and travel expenses, including up to $3,000 toward relocation.



This award is open to applicants at any postdoctoral stage (e.g., new postdocs, senior postdocs/ARS ? there is no time limit post-doctoral degree completion) and from any institution (applicants already at Yale are eligible).



Please submit all application materials, including letters of reference, at this link: https://apply.interfolio.com/158156, by December 1st, 2024. The research is anticipated to begin any time in 2025.



If you have any questions, please reach out to me: pauline.charbogne at yale.edu<mailto:pauline.charbogne at yale.edu>



All the best,

Pauline
