    Spectacularly happy @neuromatch news: we just received an emergency license from the US Government to operate in Iran. Thanks to the community that helped make this happen! ❤️ We can now push further towards the dream of global science without borders.

    Science is about overcoming failures. List: (1) once I got to be professor, my first 23 grant proposals we're rejected. I am very comfortable now. (2) I was mediocre at school (~B) and particularly bad at stats. Much of my lab's work is close to stats now.

    Just my yearly reminder: there is a standard format behind (probably) most published papers. I highly recommend all students look at that format: journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a… makes writing easier for my students (and myself)

    All materials from @neuromatch academy on one page now: neuromatchacademy.org/syllabus/ If you teach data science (in any subdomain) you got to look at this. Amazing work by our volunteer team.

    Regular reminder. As an academic, student, postdoc, or professor, you accept less pay and more stress. It is only worth doing if what you do truly matters. Do that high-risk project. Because the boring project does not justify the downsides of academia. For the love of ideas.

    Massive whitepaper just dropped on why neuroscience progress should continue to drive AI progress: arxiv.org/pdf/2210.08340… Argues for an embodied turing test. Needed: real interdisciplinary people, shared platform(s), fundamental research

    Today is my birthday. 🎁 🎂 And I want to use it as an opportunity to thank all the people who work to make neuroscience better, more fun, and more human. 🎉 ❤️ I feel blessed to be part of this community.

    Machine learning can easily produce false positives when the test set is wrongly used. Just et al in @NatureHumBehav suggested that ML can identify suicidal ideation extremely well from fMRI and we were skeptical. Today retraction and our analysis of what went wrong came out.

    I have a causality joke, but not sure it is the reason why you laugh.

    I have a theory joke, but not sure if it would work in practice.

    Wrote a paper don't know where to send it? Got a paper and don't know who should review it? Worried you miss related papers? All scientists should use jane for such questions: jane.biosemantics.org Been in love with it for years and only just realized not everyone knows.

    Just re-advertising "ten simple rules for structuring papers" - it helps my trainees write far better drafts. And do I wish that the papers I review followed it. #readability

    Neuroscientists: if you want to learn computational techniques apply to our online summer school: forms.gle/NaxSk6ZoirS7Uk… Please help reach out to the community that is not on twitter and language communities. This will be great.
