The truth is that the scientific process is horribly inefficient and wasteful. But the solution is NOT cutting funds and it’s NOT top down guidance of what should be studied. Instead, we should revolutionize how we publish and improve peer review.

Happy to share the latest version of our work on compositional cognitive maps in hippocampus, with Jo Warren, @jrcwhittington, Tim Behrens. We propose hippocampus constructs maps from cortical building blocks in replay – now with empirical support! nature.com/articles/s4159… 1/9

Check out replay making new place cells (likely from compositional elements!).

Science is under threat in the US. @elife have commissioned a series of articles discussing the implications and what we can do. The first three articles are now live. More to follow: elifesciences.org/articles/106702 elifesciences.org/articles/106704 elifesciences.org/articles/106710

1/ Today, we publish the first of seven articles in a series exploring ‘Science Under Threat in the United States’. The authors discuss what they describe as the Trump administration's "assault" on science and scientists, and what the response should be. #StandUpForScience

The unparalleled XJ Wang has written a book about the computations underlying cognition. I read a draft version and it is awesome. He is not on social media, so I am sharing it on his behalf :)

The next two articles in our Science under threat series offer personal accounts from the perspective of undergraduates and patients. elifesciences.org/articles/106705 elifesciences.org/articles/106706 The homepage for the collection is here: elifesciences.org/collections/93…

Adriana Bankston – a science policy fellow at the US House Representatives – outlines some options available for responding to the attacks on science and the scientific workforce in the US. elifesciences.org/articles/10670…

Tim Behrens Can you share my book also Bridging Molecular Mechanisms and Neural Oscillatory Dynamics? amazon.com/dp/B0DLGBHJHG

Two journals tried paying peer reviewers and found increased acceptance, earlier reports, and no change in quality. WHAT A SURPRISE!

Science reviewers are starting to use the @elife vocab :) "The study’s detailed molecular work makes it “exceptional,” says José Calbet" science.org/content/articl…

V nice insight into a really lovely paper…

Tiny brains, big strategy. Bumblebees scan the world with purpose, using active vision to lock onto just the info they need. Precision flight, selective focus, and fast pattern recognition all in a split second. elifesciences.org/articles/10633…

🌊 One month left until our Mathematics of Neuroscience and AI conference in sun-soaked Croatia! We've got a world-class line up of original and emerging pioneers in the study of intelligence, and have had a really impressive range of submissions so far. Registration and

In a just world, those historians would be HuggingFace and "the future" would be, like, next week.

📢 We have an opportunity for students to join our PhD programme in Theoretical Neuroscience and Machine Learning this September. Application deadline is 27 May 2025. Information & how to apply 👉 ucl.ac.uk/gatsby/study-a…
