Video: Ed Boyden on Optogenetics -- selective brain stimulation with light | SPIE Newsroom: SPIE

21 April 2011, SPIE Newsroom. DOI: 10.1117/2.3201104.03 Ed Boyden is the founder and principal investigator of the Synthetic Neurobiology Group at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The group develops tools for controlling and observing the dynamic circuits of the brain, and uses these neurotechnologies to understand how cognition and emotion arise from brain network operation, as well as to enable systematic repair of intractable brain disorders such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, post-traumatic stress disorder, and chronic pain.

Publishing in Science - Biotech, Pharmaceutical, Faculty, Postdoc jobs on Science Careers

It was great to have Pam Hines join us for this event at the AAAS meeting. Her talk covered not only the role that editors play at Science , but also the review process that every paper submitted goes through. She encouraged scientists to think like reviewers when submitting their papers and to ensure that the manuscript is of the proper format. http://sciencecareers.sciencemag.org/tools_tips/outreach/events/2009_02_14

Collected Advice on Research and Writing

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mleone/how-to.html
Writing a scientific research paper is different than writing a traditional English Paper. Discover important steps for the author to follow when writing a science paper. Writing a science paper or a medical article can be a overwhelming, particularly if the only writing style the author has encountered is the traditional MLA (Modern Language Association) style of writing used when writing papers for humanities and English courses. Science papers are different than humanities papers in several ways.

How to Write a Scientific Research Paper: Key Points for Writing a Science Paper or Medical Article

Pzreworski, Adam and Salomon, Frank Writing proposals for research funding is a peculiar facet of North American academic culture, and as with all things cultural, its attributes rise only partly into public consciousness. A proposal's overt function is to persuade a committee of scholars that the project shines with the three kinds of merit all disciplines value, namely, conceptual innovation, methodological rigor, and rich, substantive content. But to make these points stick, a proposal writer needs a feel for the unspoken customs, norms, and needs that govern the selection process itself. These are not really as arcane or ritualistic as one might suspect. For the most part, these customs arise from the committee's efforts to deal in good faith with its own problems: incomprehension among disciplines, work overload, and the problem of equitably judging proposals that reflect unlike social and academic circumstances. http://www.ssrc.org/publications/view/7A9CB4F4-815F-DE11-BD80-001CC477EC70/
