I can't wait to enter the zen phase of adulthood where I'm like oh, you spelled my name wrong in addressing this whiny email to me? That's cool, it's not like my name is right in front of you, in the "To" section. Oh, it is? Huh. Well. That says a lot about you. 😌

I feel like we didn’t focus enough on the fact that someone in the Trump campaign meant to schedule the “four seasons hotel” but definitely accidentally scheduled this “four seasons landscaping” store and they had to follow through with it. Veep was not this good.

I can't get over this. Shared with me because I was not so silently fuming about what a crapshoot the day has been. This is the cure, everybody. I'm still laughing. news.avclub.com/its-jurassic-p…

Great technical analysis and historical context for the Neuralink Monkey Pong video from Paul Nuyujukian, a fantastic clinician-researcher who himself has done groundbreaking BMI work: youtube.com/watch?v=rzNOuJ…

Correlation Vs. Causation

IDK who needs to see this, but I think it's everyone. Frank + Krishna Shenoy wins BCI again. It was so cool watching this data come in and seeing how ridiculously well it worked. #BCI High-performance brain-to-text communication via handwriting disq.us/t/3wv5i6s

Excited to share our results testing a bidirectional #BCI that provides artificial touch in a person. Tasks times were cut in half. Sharlene Flesher and John Downey led the work with a great team at RNEL, including my long-time collaborator Jen Collinger. …ence-sciencemag-org.pitt.idm.oclc.org/content/372/65…

thanks @jeffreymweiss for summarizing the content so I can ramble about how much of a labor of love and perseverance getting this paper out was. This will forever be my favorite topic 🧠🦾⚡️ (thanks Robert Gaunt for continuing to push this paper to be the best it could be)

If "And I actually ended up drawing a cat, which I just turned into an NFT.” isn't the @theskimm quote of the day, idk what is. It's a great cat. GO SEE THE CAT. Elon Musk, buy the cat. Nathan Copeland #NeuralinkWho #jkYayBCI Context: wired.com/story/this-bra…

“Touch is hard to grasp” is the best play on words for this paper that I have ever seen
