There is a petition to open the SfN meeting to remote attendees to fight the climate crisis. As past program director for SfN, I highly recommend you sign the petition! forms.gle/i5QWpwg1Z9giYz…

A month ago, I was trying to demonstrate how to fix gender bias in contextual models like BERT for my book. I found the bias was way worse than I imagined and major technologies failed to even recognize "hers" as a pronoun. @NYTimes just covered it: nytimes.com/2019/11/11/tec…

This December we are fundraising for our #GlobalEddies - language learning, study trips, and financial support. Are you able to lend a hand? lnkd.in/gpzB89R P.S. Stories of how Eddies broadened your horizons most welcome! lnkd.in/g_xKFmh

I'm very proud and excited to present to you: a team science approach to reproducibly studying decision-making! doi.org/10.1101/2020.0… Want to know what it's been like to work on this? Behind-the-scenes 🧵👇 1/many

Excited to share our bioRxiv: #connectomics reconstruction of olfactory circuits in the #Drosophila brain led by Alexander Bates @MRC_LMB, Uni Matrix Marta Costa Dept of Zoology. Collaboration with @ddavi, Scott Waddell, Gerry Rubin HHMI | Janelia 1/12 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Few months ago Matsuyama et al. released an early report on the issue of the genomic stability of Self Inactivating Rabies (SiR) from our Ciabatti et al 2017. This stimulated us to run new experiments to investigate the SiR stability and other points raised by Matsuyama et al.

Thank you so much to those who shared the twit yesterday and got in touch! I was silly not to include a fundraiser link yesterday, but here it is: justgiving.com/crowdfunding/a…. I will be very thankful for any amounts and/or any shares. 1/N

Badly broke my right (dominant) wrist this week. Need advice on: 1) adapt computer work to use only left hand (/voice control?) 2) stay fit not putting any pressure on right wrist/hand/arm THANKS!!!

🚨 BIG DATA RELEASE 🚨 We are beyond excited to announce the release of our Brain Wide Map of neural activity during decision making! It consists of 547 Neuropixel recordings of 32784 neurons across 194 regions of the mouse brain 🐭🧠 (1/7)

“Where was I again?” Our study published today nature.com/articles/s4158… reveals brain cells can form a coordinate system for our behaviours. Instead of locating where we are in the world, this coordinate system tells us “where we are” in a sequence of behaviours: 🧵below:
