Looking for recommendations on a beginner friendly book on Neuroscience (including Neuroanatomy). I don't have a medical/biology background (have an engineering background) and my goal is just to satisfy my curiosity and develop some understanding on the brain and nervous system. Would love to hear your recommendations.
Thanks!
Seeking your advise on something I've been thinking of trying for a while now. I am a mid-career engineer, and while life is great, I was thinking of working with some one on going to the next level (not in terms of corporate hierarchy, but in broader sense) in professional life, and in general as a person. I do have some specific goals I want to work towards, and I've tried creating my own plan towards working on those. But often, life takes over (I am a parent as well), and I lose several months before I make progress. Unfortunately, I cannot take a break from work due to visa situation, otherwise it would have been ideal to take time off and spend on some of the things I wish to try.
I was wondering if working with someone would help me make faster and more meaningful progress. Kind of like how athletes keep working with their coaches to get to the next level. Would you have any advise on that (from your own experience, or someone you know), or anyone you would recommend working with?
Thanks a lot, and look forward to gathering all the awesome advise!
I am starting a new job soon (software engineer, distributed systems/ML infra). I wanted to try out setting clear intentions for myself, and track those at a very broad level during my tenure. I have never done it before, but read a few articles which recommended doing this. At a high level, I wanted to work on innovation, and depth of knowledge (about my area of work, and the field in general).
I was curious if any of you have tried this before, either in work, or in general. Are there any small everyday habits that you would recommend to help with this (e.g like writing frequent essays)?
Thanks a lot, and excited to read your responses!
Hoping to get some help for myself and perhaps this benefits others in similar situations.
My academic background is CS bachelors and masters (not PhD). I've spent past few years working on a distributed SQL engine; have enjoyed my work so far, but have been wanting to move to a different area for the past year or so. I'm in the process of changing my job, and I'm highly intrigued by the infrastructure part of AI/ML, and I'm trying to find companies/teams which work in this space (i.e. efficiently deploying and running AI/ML pipelines, algorithms at scale). I do have some academic background in ML (one grad course + internship about 7 years ago); I know things have evolved quite a bit, but I'm also confident that I'll be able to catch up fast.
Would you have any recommendations on companies or teams where I should explore opportunities? Thanks in advance!
