The NeuroRSE group at #FlatironCCN recently hosted two software workshops that taught scientists how to analyze #neuroscience data using new software tools Pynapple and nemos_neuro. The next workshop will take place at SfN this November. Read more: simonsfoundation.org/2025/02/25/ccn…

Public health. Weather forecasting. Consumer protection. Food safety. Support of education and scientific research. Resource management. National parks. Infrastructure ensuring safe travel. These are public goods and the roles of a well-functioning state.

No Other Land airs on Channel 4 at 11.15pm, Tuesday 4 March. Please share widely so as many people as possible can witness how Israel steals Palestinian land and destroys homes and lives, shown through the eyes of Basel, a Palestinian filmmaker, and Yuval, an Israeli journalist.

I'm forcing votes in the Senate to block the sale of $8.8 billion in heavy bombs to Israel. We must not be complicit in the destruction of Gaza. History won't forgive us. Every Senator who supports the rule of law should vote for these resolutions. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

We are so excited to announce our new Simons Collaboration on Ecological Neuroscience (SCENE)! This 10-year program will unite experts in experimental and computational #neuroscience approaches to investigate how the brain represents sensorimotor interactions.

I always believe (and have advocated in the past decade or so) that the theory side of EECS, especially information theory, system/control theory, and signal processing should have played a quintessential and leading role in the study of machine intelligence, only if they had

Diffusion modeling folks: many sources cite Robbins 1956 as the original source for Tweedie's formula (E[z | x] = x + sig^2 \grad log p(x)) . But as far as I can tell — the formula appears nowhere in that paper. Am I crazy? Can anyone explain what's going on here?

BREAKING: Israel's defence minister Israel Katz has said Greta Thunberg is antisemitic for trying to feed starving people in Gaza. Presumably, the only way to not be antisemitic would be to support the mass starvation of Palestinians ♥️

Our latest work on the longstanding problem of learning a (normalized) energy model from data…

The accusation that Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza — likely hundreds, maybe even thousands — has become all but undeniable. Even Israel’s supporters, those who defended or withstood this publicly broadcast nightmare for 19 months, have reached some semblance of a limit.

Tonight, I introduced legislation to stop Trump from from leading us into an illegal war with Iran. Another war in the Middle East could cost countless lives, waste trillions more dollars, and lead to even more deaths, more conflict, and more displacement.
