With regret due to the amazing articles I’ve enjoyed subscribing to the Washington Post over the years, failure to oppose fascism is a dealbreaker

This piece on Grothendieck from @guardian is really good. I am sure the account will appeal to people who care about a deeper connection between excellence and kindness in academia, which has been mentioned in recent posts [H/T @RdeHeide]

This is an absolutely incredible opportunity for anyone interested in human electrophysiology

At a tiny conference in Italy in 2011, a buzz started going around one afternoon: Bill Catterall had solved a voltage gated sodium channel structure, and he was going to share the structure publicly for the first time. (1/x)
Day 2 of across the board anti-Biden NYT finally got me to cancel my subscription @nytimes Going to miss wordle and spelling bee, but that pales in comparison to subscribing to a paper that is tacitly supporting a fascist dictatorship

1/10 Ten years ago, I received a handwritten manuscript by Alan Turing’s only PhD student, Robin Gandy. He wrote it a couple years before passing away in 1995.
AFAIK, it’s never before been in print, so I typeset my copy & put it online here: philpapers.org/archive/GANOT…

It turns out that sparkling water and raisins are *fascinating*. My daughter and I happened upon this effect playing together in the kitchen a long time ago, and I couldn't help but explore the system more deeply... 1/n arxiv.org/abs/2308.12927

My paper on #travelingwaves with @neurojosh, Jackie Gottlieb, and @nicofoley is now @NatureComms

Coordination of neural activity across space and time are crucial for optimal behaviors and #travelingwaves are signatures of this coordination!

RIP, Michael Turvey. What better way to pay tribute to him than to listen to his lecture: youtu.be/ocZzrIJRGCM

Unique (funded) postdoc opportunity with us at Princeton at the intersection of optical imaging and sex hormones. Experience measuring and manipulating hormones a plus. Hormone people, if there’s anyone still out there on this app…. please spread the word🙏!
Just want to say I’m listening to Beethoven’s Ninth played by the Staatskapelle Berliner and the Chor der Deutschen Staatoper, with Barenboim and it is fantastic

The Bastos Lab and the Data Science Institute at Vanderbilt seek to hire a highly-paid ($70,000/yr) data science postdoc to discover the neural building blocks of predictive coding. We also seek to re-envision postdoctoral training within a community-based training model. 1/5
One of things I’ve discovered while on my Apple Music trial is that Devil May Cry 5 has a really cool soundtrack (still working through Horizon: Zero Dawn, which is both extremely fun and difficult on the PC) which is also great with an entirely different vibe #

If you're gonna listen to any speech about #Ukraine 🇺🇦, let it be this one.
The Kenya ambassador to the UNSC perfectly explains how people across Africa understand Ukraine, and what the Kremlin's acts of aggression mean in our post-colonial world.

Neural activities in primate frontoparietal network move across cortex as #traveling_waves and their propagation exclusively correlates with reward memory.
Check out my preprint with my wonderful advisors (@neurojosh and Jackie gottlieb), and @nicofoley
