The last one I found was a month ago :( 13:30:14 <FranciscoD_> https://pagure.io/neuro-sig/NeuroFedora/issue/318#comment-773082 13:30:37 <FranciscoD_> we have some time, so let's take 5 minutes to go through the neuroscientists' planet: https://neuroblog.fedoraproject.org/planet-neuroscientists/ 13:31:16 <FranciscoD_> scientists have photographed Venusβ surface from space for the first time -> https://www.sciencenews.org/article/venus-surface-photo-parker-solar-probe-space-nasa 13:31:26 <FranciscoD_> that's interesting (even if not neuroscience related :)) 13:32:38 <vanessa_kris[m]> I watched in a documentary that humans use just 10% of our brain I haven't looked it but but it sounds interesting. 13:33:26 <FranciscoD_> that is true, but it's slightly misleading 13:33:36 <FranciscoD_> we use all of our brain, just not all at once :) 13:34:02 <FranciscoD_> so when they say "only using 10%", they're being a little cheeky---what they mean is that we use 10% to carry out a specific task 13:34:24 <FranciscoD_> that's because different parts of the brain are involved in different tasks/operations 13:35:19 <vanessa_kris[m]> ohh, they made it seem like we don't maximize the brain power π 13:35:34 <FranciscoD_> yeh, that's been going around for a long time XD 13:35:40 <FranciscoD_> Take a look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area 13:36:06 <FranciscoD_> see how different areas are marked for different function, like sensory, motor, auditory etc. 13:37:31 <FranciscoD_> vanessa_khris: ah, there's even a wiki page on the 10% myth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_percent_of_the_brain_myth :D 13:38:17 <vanessa_kris[m]> oh wow, thanks you π 13:38:53 <FranciscoD_> This may be interesting, given that sickle cell disease affects folks with African, middle-eastern, and asian ancestry: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/gene-therapy-sickle-cell-disease-esrick-genetics 13:40:27 <FranciscoD_> Do scroll through the planet, lots of interesting general science bits there 13:40:37 <FranciscoD_> #topic Next meeting day, and chair 13:40:44 <FranciscoD_> Same time (1300 UTC) in 2 weeks? 13:41:07 <vanessa_kris[m]> FranciscoD_: +1 13:41:45 <hardeborlaa[m]> I will chair the next meeting 13:41:51 <FranciscoD_> awesome :) 13:41:57 <FranciscoD_> #action hardeborlaa to chair next meeting 13:42:09 <FranciscoD_> #info next meeting will be on 28th Feb at 1300 UTC 13:42:22 <FranciscoD_> #topic Open floor 13:42:32 <FranciscoD_> anything else that we didn't cover in the agenda? 13:42:53 <FranciscoD_> vanessa_khris: hardeborlaa : how are you feeling about the packaging etc. tasks? 13:43:15 <FranciscoD_> Is the learning curve manageable, and is the speed with which you're progressing fine for you? 13:44:29 <hardeborlaa[m]> FranciscoD_: feels so good to be learning about packaging and taking the tasks slowly as well 13:44:59 <FranciscoD_> OK, that's great to hear. 13:45:20 <FranciscoD_> Whenever you think it's getting too complicated or if it's too simple, let us know and we can tweak your tasks to match your requirements 13:45:33 <hardeborlaa[m]> FranciscoD_: yes the learning curve is managable and am really progressing 13:45:35 <vanessa_kris[m]> FranciscoD_: Great so far, its sad my outreachy programme is coming to an end so soon. 13:45:35 <vanessa_kris[m]> Oh was curious are there any more opportunities I could have to contribute to packaging. 13:46:06 <hardeborlaa[m]> FranciscoD_: sure 13:46:09 <FranciscoD_> vanessa_khris: yeh, outreachy is finishing, but you can continue to volunteer in your free time whenever possible :) 13:46:37 <FranciscoD_> vanessa_khris: i need to find you tasks for this week, so I'll look through our tickets etc. after the meeting 13:46:57 <FranciscoD_> OK, let's close the meeting early then, since we've covered the agenda 13:46:59 <vanessa_kris[m]> FranciscoD_: Awesome π 13:47:00 <FranciscoD_> #endmeeting
