I think if "unhinged" is anywhere as overused as "cringe," it is past peak

So apparently the term "patch" in software development comes from punched paper tape.

"Small corrections to the programmed sequence could be done by patching over portions of the paper tape and re-punching the holes in that section."

Seeking applicants for #PhD projects on #genetics & #language:

1) Deciphering roles of rare genetic variants in developmental speech/language disorders. This project studies impacts of pathogenic gene disruptions by integrating data from clinical & speech/language profiles of affected patients with lab-based analyses in human neuronal models (e.g. brain organoids).

2) Mapping language-relevant genetic effects on brain variability using normative modelling. Here, we apply normative modelling to large-scale imaging & DNA data from the general population, to uncover heterogeneous effects of language-relevant genetic variants.

3) Genetic architecture of the human language network. In this project, we employ advanced neuroimaging techniques to map neural circuits involved in language processing, characterize interindividual differences in their properties, & associate them with DNA variation in unique cohorts.

Applications due before Jan 8th 2024. More info here: https://www.mpi.nl/imprs-phd-fellowships-2024

Hallo !Friendica Support,

wie ich gerade festgestellt habe, taucht mein Server in der Statistik auf Fediverse Observer als englischsprachig auf. Allerdings habe ich sowohl im Admin-Panel als auch in der local.config.php die Sprache auf Deutsch gestellt. Muss ich da sonst noch irgendwo etwas angeben? So wichtig ist es mir ja nicht, das es meist kein offener Server ist, aber eigenartig finde ich es schon.
