I am a researcher working primarily in experimental and theoretical neuroscience. I like excitable cells, especially ones that burst. Sometimes I poke small animals with electrodes, other times I model neural activity. And since that rarely pays the bills, I teach math and science. I blog about neuroscience, open science, and open access publishing. Please feel free to contact me with questions or suggestions at emck31@gmail.com, and follow me on Twitter @emckiernan13 for research updates and more. Also, check out my figshare page to download author versions of my manuscripts, poster presentations, and other research outputs. Feedback always welcome!
