New paper from @alexcwsmith89 and me. We started working on this open source, scalable video recording pipeline a few years ago and it saved us a ton of money when we started our labs. Big thanks to Addiction Neuroscience and guest editor @DrJKhokhar! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

There is data showing women are under cited. To combat this I start every talk with a slide where I set up the talk but only with work from a single woman’s lab. It lets me highlight the amazing work done by women and remind people of papers they should be citing!
Can you provide any explication on this strategy, for those of us who weren't able to attend? 😃
