We’re not writing blank checks to giant corporations. Any taxpayer dollars that go to help big businesses during the coronavirus crisis should come with the following minimum requirements:

Online comp neuro conference #neuromatch2020 is working really well! Upvoting of questions for speakers, inviting question-askers on screen etc. The agenda over today and tomorrow is awesome, check it out: neuromatch.io/agenda

1/ Need a distraction from the pandemic? It's #tweeprint time!!! I'm very excited to share here with you new work from myself, Richard Naud, Jordan Guerguiev, Alexandre Payeur, and Friedemann Zenke: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We think our results are quite exciting, so let's go!

Congratulations to Dr. Nat Kinsky for his publication of a Nature Communications paper from his work in our lab in the Center for Systems Neuroscience at Boston University!Trajectory-modulated hippocampal neurons persist throughout memory-guided navigation disq.us/t/3oqcs2d

Neural coordination mechanisms for associative memory recall and decision making in the hippocampal-prefrontal network biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

Tomorrow: Online seminar by Prof Chethan Pandarinath Chethan Pandarinath on "Towards generalized inference of single-trial neural population dynamics", hosted by Boston Sys Neuro | #bot⚡ worldwideneuro.com/seminar-event.…

Thrilled to share our results with B. Illing and W. Gerstner! Contrastive predictive coding implemented by a plasticity rule (CLAPP) relying only on the activity of neighboring neurons. A big step towards local unsupervised plasticity models building deep representations.

Are you an AI researcher? Do you believe that neuroscience still has something to teach AI? If so, consider spending 2 years as a NeuroAI Scholar at CSHL. [PS this is NOT about applying AI to neuro. It's about taking inspiration from neuro to develop new approaches in AI]

I’m frustrated with SfN, but there are far better conferences for scientific discourse and networking. I suggest many of you consider The Park City Winter Conference on the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory parkcitywinterconf.org—in person and the best slopes in the Rockies!

Thank you Mike! It's been amazing working with you and the whole lab, and looking forward to continued collaboration!

Congratulations for an outstanding PhD defense by Dr. L. Kelton Wilmerding KeltonWilmerding about his dissertation work with me and Steve Ramirez! Kelton is a Renaissance Fair fan, so he requested a dubbing ceremony with his own sword.
